It seems there is sufficient dedication in the community to actually get this done, so I've started this thread to organize our efforts. I will list proposals for a set of ranks for every civ as they are committed, as well as lists of civs that still need one. If there is more than one list, I'll list all of them without comment/preference. We can still work out the final lists later, so if you have a differing opinion on an already proposed list, just go ahead and present your alternative. I'll probably have to do some research for certain civs until I can offer an educated opinion on them anyway.
Some guidelines:

Civs still requiring a list: Babylonia, Phoenicia, Persia, Tamils*, Ethiopia, Korea, Maya, Byzantium, Japan, Vikings, Arabia, Tibet, Indonesia, Moors, Holy Rome*, Poland, Portugal, Mongols, Mughals, Thailand, Congo, Netherlands, Germany*. Not including incomplete suggestions.
Some guidelines:
- Historical leaders that are also LHs are allowed
- Generally the list should contain historical leaders, i.e. rulers, heads of state, heads of government. If a person is influential enough and had a sufficient impact on his country's history, he can be included even though he wasn't technically the leader of his country. Don't be too liberal with that, though.
- There are 20 ranks in the game, but many suggestions had 16 leaders which imo is a better number. Remember not just to include the best 16 leaders you can think of, and instead create a smooth progression from "golden age" to "failure" or "joke rank" (e.g. Dan Quayle).
- As with leaderheads in the game, sometimes common perception outweighs historical accuracy (i.e. Elizabeth I's record is questionable, but people expect her to be ranked high because of the Elizabethan golden age).
- No people more recent than those directly involved in WW2, exceptions can be made, especially for joke ranks.
- Some civs also kind of represent other cultural groups, so don't be shy and e.g. use Assyrian or Sumerian rulers for Babylonia as well.
- I'll put the names in the game with the usual English version/transliteration of their name, so I'd appreciate if you already submitted them in this way
