What is Latin for "world ruler"?
Tyrannus mundi and rector mundi? How can compounds be formed in Latin? Is mundirector or mundorector a correctly formed compound? I'd prefer to know a single (compound) word "world ruler".

"Dux", "tyrannus" or "dictātor", but not "rector".
"Dux Mundi" : 'world leader'
The Greek loan word "hegemon" comes maybe closest.

Classical, literary Latin seldom used such compounds, although they're prevalent in Greek. In Latin, they're usually found in the works of Plautus and Terence (comic playwrights), e. e. "turpilucricupidus"--"greedy for ill-gotten gain." Either of the two-word phrases you suggested would sound more dignified, as would "imperator mundi."

you can just say "satraps," but it just means ruler.
if you say universitas satraps...that mean World ruler.
Best of luck, hope i helped =)
