the MCS requires that either the head of state or an official with the approval of the head of state be the one to make an official claim. so if jon says ok, i can go and claim the land for us.

Yeah, just a wierd little sidenote is that many, if not most, countries in the world have positions separate for Head-of-Government and Head-of-State. In some cases this is the Prime Minister and a President (India), and in other cases the Prime Minister and a Monarch (Britain). However most micronations have not copied this real-world trend, with the Head-of-State being the same as the Head-of-Government. If there is a Prime Minister, he or she is not coequal with the Head-of-State in these cases, and is generally appointed by the Head-of-State as was in the Sovereign principality of Lavalon (George (Tsilis) the Greek). One micronation that I know of that does have (or had) a similar system to Lavalon's, with true separation of the Head-of-State and Head-of-Government is the Principality of Ambrose. At least we Lavalonians are doing things the right and most realistic way.

oh yea, Egypt is that way too... except i think the pres is powerful and the PM is useless.... when studying the country for the 6th grade country report, it confused the heck out of me... "why not just have a president do all that stuff?!" i asked myself.,
but the MCS says head of state, so it had to be Jon.

In my opinion, the benefit of splitting the position is that while the prime minister comes in and out of power with whoever is the dominant faction (and in some countries power can shift back and forth quite often), the elected President (much longer term) can offer non-political "moral" support, causing the people to identify with their nation regardless of what government is in power at that time. Israel wanted Albert Einstein to be their first President, and he refused; but talk about a good national symbol for improved morale.
The US president serves both a symbolic and political role, and a military role (mission accomplished?). In a stable country like America, I think the combined role is possible.
