There are several very famous and popular Supreme Rulers, while there are many forgettable ones. Vantix Garastra is very popular among the scientific communities, due to his basically beginning of the space race. His predecessor, Gaftar IV, is also paramount to the creation of the AI network and the industrial revolution it enabled. Qet Scholiander is also notable, though often overlooked, is very notable and popular for his cleaning of the homeworld for industry and pollution. Every time a Jaxtian goes outside and experiences an almost natural, clean environment, they have him to thank for it.
Talacent was being considered for the greatest Supreme Ruler due to his populism- many advances to improve the quality of life, and for his fairly hands off approach to governance. These are easy ways to gain popular support by the populace; the Supreme Rulers know that a population who hates their ruler might be best out under him then anyone else; they don't always know what is best for them.
Talacent, of course, denied being the best; and this is partially due to tradition. That is because the first and <span class="mu-i">greatest</span> Supreme Ruler, Akule the Unspeakable, is supposed to reign Supreme above all others in history. Almost everything the Hegemony stands for was created by him. He led the planetary unification, he defeated and tortured all foes of the people, he created the eugenic foundation for the advancement of the Jaxtian race. Before his time, the Hegemony was a constitutional nation, not yet bound or enlightened by the grand purpose and mission of the Hegemony.
