Currently, the culture head is simply whoever has the most counties of a culture.
Instead, replace that with a "Cultural Icon Score", with number of countries being the main contributor, but giving it a multiplier based on Level of Fame.
Why? I just think that someone who's a Legendary Figure with 2 counties has a greater right to be Culture Head than someone who's merely Established with 3 counties. It could even open the possibility for an adventurer to be culture head (although I do think it should carry penalties).
You could even take into account development score -- are you in the cultural capital, or out in the sticks?
This would also open up the possibility for perks in the diplomacy skill trees (preferably the August tree, because it's the most boring tree in the game by far). "+30% to Cultural Icon Score" or something in that vain (which is not good on its own, but could bolster another bonus)
