Father of nation/country
The origin of a word
Pater Patriae, meaning "the father of the motherland", was awarded the honorary title of elder and Roman emperor by the Roman Senate during the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. Although many Roman emperors have won this title, it has not become a title representing the rights and glory of the emperor.
The word "father of the country" in modern Chinese can be traced back to the work of Liang, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty-Four Theories on the Sea State. It is mentioned in the book that when American President Washington died, the whole country called him the father of the country, which means someone who made special contributions to the current state power.

National ancestors
Many ethnic groups regard the characters in the myth of creation as the ancestors of the founding of the country. For example, Luzos ("Lusitania") was established in Portugal, Lech, Cech, Ross ("Laihia"), Cech (now Czech Republic), Ross (now Russia, Belarus and Ukraine) were established in Poland, the ancestor of China, Emperor Yan Huang, and the Kim Mu, Xiong Huan and Tan Jun Wang Jian of North Korea; Or, take historical legends as the founding fathers, such as Genghis Khan in Mongolia, Longlike in Russia and Anurutuo in Myanmar. In the Hebrew Bible, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are called "patriarchs" (meaning "the father of Israel"). They are the ancestors of Israel, and all Israelis are regarded as Jacob's people.
Monarch title
In the monarchy, the king is the righter of the country, the natural "father of the country" or "mother of the country", and the patriarch of princes and nobles. This concept comes from the theory that the power of the monarch comes from heaven or gods, and the power of the state belongs to the monarch. This is clearly recorded in the Spanish Constitution. The monarch is regarded as the personification and incarnation of God and a symbol of national unity and eternity.
Kings in China call themselves the "sons of heaven", respect heaven as their father and land as their mother, or regard people with important ministers as "fathers", such as Guan Zhong, his father Confucius, Guan Zhong, Jiangdong Zhao, his father Jiang Ziya, his father Fan Zeng, his father Zhuge Liang and his father Regent Dourgen.
Dictator title
Many dictators will add various titles to themselves in their political career, such as Togo's president calling himself "the father of the country", "big brother" and "the guide of the people" and Zaire's president Meng.
