Dellm is the official title of the combined office of head of government and head of state in Sedunn. In Austral, the title was usually translated to king if the officeholder is male, or queen if female, but since 2022, president is the recommended translation. The title dellm has been in use since Sedunn's foundation in 700 BC for the elected leaders of the government. Originally, the dellms had extensive personal power and ruled for life. However, the amount of personal power and length of office were successively reduced; today the role of the dellm is almost identical to that of prime ministers in other typical parliamentary republics.
In Austral, the officially recognised form of address is His/Her Excellency. In Sedunnic it is simply Dellm.
The combined office of the dellm may be split after the next election if the necessary changes to the constitution are confirmed. The dellm would then be head of government, and the speaker of the parliament would be the head of state, a role it in practise has fulfilled since the 1700s. [1]
There is a popular movement to officially change the title to dellm in official Sedunnic documents and communication in Austral. Alternatively, prime minister has also been suggested.
