Indeed. But "res publica" or "imperium" might get us within hailing 
distance. If we wanted to put on the grass skirt and shake our metonymy, 
we might use "praetorium" or "palatium" or even "curulis" [sc. "sella"]. 
Or change the syntax a little: ultima ratio palatina, which I kinda 
like for some reason.
