Basic Trope: A sovereign viewed as a Physical God. (Usually with appropriate attitude on the sovereign's part.)

  • Straight: Emperor Evulz is worshipped by his subjects, who believe that he is a member of the pantheon.
  • Exaggerated: Emperor Evulz is worshipped by his subjects ala Crystal Dragon Jesus, who believe that He created the universe. Complete with Inquisition.
  • Justified: Emperor Evulz does have god-like powers (and matching attitude).
  • Inverted: A god(dess) is invited to the land and then installed as an emperor by the people.
  • Subverted: It's just lip-service; most people don't actually believe that Evulz is a god, and snickers about his eccentricities behind him.
  • Double Subverted: However, when Evulz start throwing god-like powers like a mad god, they begin to kneel and worship him.
  • Parodied: Haruhi A megalomaniacal student council president acts as though she's a Little Miss Almighty.
  • Deconstructed: Evulz goes completely crazy when he figure out that he can't live up the "God" part of his title, and making up for it with excessive display of "Emperor" power.
  • Reconstructed: Somehow, this only make people revere him even more.
  • Zig Zagged: One day Evulz talk as though he's an immaculate deity, the other day he's OK with listening to people's (carefully-presented) advices.
  • Averted: In a universe brimming with Physical God and Evil Overlord, no one from either side try to claim each other's title.
  • Enforced: "We need Big Bad Evil Overlord whose ego is bigger than big!"
  • Lampshaded: "One day he will try to do in the King of Cosmos the way he done in Emperor Horrificus."
  • Invoked: The Corrupt Church offered him the title of God-Emperor so they will gain significant power in Evulz' regime...
  • Exploited: ...and they actually supported Evulz in overthrowing the previous ruler.
  • Defied: The constitution states that Emperor is an entirely secular title.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
