Well, you could sort of build a tree or network with the different ruler names and conditions when a different ruler name would be appropriate( for example dictator might require republic to be researched) but that would be overkill, wouldnt it? And if you went further, you would even have different titles for different nations. Prince is awkward because it comes later than dictator, while one would expect something else, maybe despot, if republic and monarchy hasnt been researched, and Prince if monarchy has been researched.
