[Kravanica]

[Ulvena]

In the Neo-Joseon Empire, ranks of nobility are more of a formality as due to our free market economy as well as the meritocratic nature of our society, nobles come and go very quickly. However, several titles of nobility are still in use due to very successful families as well as ranks bestowed upon military officers, who tend to keep their positions for a very long time.

Ranks of Nobility from Highest to Lowest
Emperor/Empress: Self-explanatory. The Neo-Joseon Empire Constitution state that the Emperor is picked through nomination by the previous Emperor and ratified by the National Council (legislative body). If the National Council does not ratify, the Emperor may override their decision and put it through several other means from referendum to open debate. The Emperor or Empress (both have equal power) are given executive powers similar to a President.

Royal Family: Anyone who can associate themselves with the Royal Family through direct descent. Generally, children of Royal Family members that aren't Emperor are not given this title unless the Emperor invites them back into the Palace. Many members of the Royal Family are afforded great education, which allows them to receive positions of power in government and industry

Daegam: Awarded to the Prime Minister, elected by the people for a 10 year term (renewable) and the chief Ministers of the Emperor's cabinet. The highest rank you can attain through merit. As of now, a total of 10 people have this title throughout the entire Empire. The 7 Ministry chiefs, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of the Autonomous Province of Japan.

The Circle of Kings: A military rank and order bestowed upon the Six Kings, six of the greatest soldiers in the Empire who have been augmented mechanically to be superhuman. Under the current Emperor Park Shin, this title is also given to the Emperor's Inner Circle, which includes his personal student, research partner, and his consultants. The Circle of Kings are not just soldiers but also officers, who have already proven themselves as strong but also intelligent in battle.

The next three titles are of equal status
Mok-Sa and Gun-Sa (Chancellors): A Chancellor is usually a military officer who has proven his or her ability to manage logistics and rally people behind them. They are put in charge of District Areas (colonies) to quell insurrections, manage commerce, and potentially prepare them for integration into the Empire. A Mok-Sa (High Chancellor) is someone who particularly excelled and has been given control of a Colonial Administrative Zone, a geopolitical cluster of colonies (Ex. Southeast Asian Zone, Yemen-Oman Zone, etc.)

Gwanchalsa (Governor): Governors govern provinces. While Chancellors govern District Areas and are officers from the Empire, Governors are duly elected by the people of that province to serve for 10 years. However, most governors serve for 40-50 years as there are no term limits. They are almost always well-studied civilians or businessmen as opposed to military men. The title of Gwanchalsa is also given to the greatest innovators of that era. The father of the Atom Bomb in Neo-Joseon was bestowed this title last with Princess Mira to award the one who invented the Neo-Joseon Fiber Networks in the coming years.

Chaebol: The only economic class that was recognized by the government. A Chaebol is a conglomerate of businesses that essentially act as feudal houses existed in the past. Due to antitrust regulations, a Chaebol is separate from a monopoly as Chaebols compete viciously between each other but many smaller businesses work to fuel this competition. Chaebols generally do not form within a single industry but extend across multiple industries, as so there are no monopolies in one industry. So the InterTek Chaebol is most famous for electronics services but has a hand in agriculture and transport. This title is bestowed upon the owners of these Chaebols.

Buyoon: The mayors of key financial, governmental, and cultural cities within the Empire. They have slightly less power than a Governor but within the city, technically have more influence due to the small area of control and disproportionately high power. This title has been given on more than one occasion to very successful scientists, who were given directorship of research centers instead of cities.

Hyeongryeong and Hyeonggam: Essentially County officials or mayors of medium sized cities. A Hyeongryeong is a title bestowed upon those who govern large and important counties while a Hyeonggam governs any other county. The title of Hyeongryeong can be given to a civilian who has distinguished themselves to the service of the nation or province while the title of Hyeonggam can be given to a civilian who has distinguished themselves in service to their community. This isn't just a handout title though. The last civilian who won it repelled a terrorist attack using his father's hunting rifle and incredible tactics.

[Daeseoguk]

The ranks of nobility were officially abolished in 1812, by Empress Hwaryeol; thus showing that everyone is equal under her reign. Despite that, certain titles of honor can be granted upon a person for their contribution. However, the titles only act as a symbolic and do not indicate social class.


Empress Dowager : The matriarch of the imperial family. She was responsible to act as a regent during her daughter or son's minority, giving advice to the monarch of state affairs, attending a weekly conference with her daughter-in-law and various duties. She was given precedence over the empress consort.

Nevertheless, the Empress Dowager can anytime override her daughter/son order. This can also be given to the consort of the monarch.

Crown Princess/Crown Prince : The eldest daughter/son of the reigning monarch. They were required to undergone training for ten years, before being allowed to inherit the throne. The legal age for the Crown Princess/Prince to ascend the throne is 25 years old. If the monarch died before the legal age, their mother or grandmother would act as Interim Empress.

Princess/Prince: The children or grandchildren of the reigning monarch. They held no official responsibilities besides acting as the replacement of the Crown Princess/Prince if they die before ascending the throne. The princess was allowed to keep her title even though she married a commoner, their daughter/son would be included in the line of succession. Furthermore, she was required to take up residence near the Gyeo-ul Palace. The same thing can be applied to the prince.

Duchess/Duke: An honorary title that was bestowed to someone who doesn't have any relation to the imperial family. In order to receive this title, the person needs to serve as the civil servant for at least twelve years and displayed competence during her or his tenure. Their children cannot inherit this title, as it was exclusively reserved for the mother/father. The recipient would be honored posthumously if she/he died before receiving the title.

Lady/Lord: This honor, was given to someone who made the major contribution in various fields of knowledge such as mathematics, science, astronomy, philosophy, history, geology, literature, and many more. As the society valued knowledge above everything else, they were well respected and loved.

Protector of the Empire: The title was granted to individuals or a group of people who defended the nation from the invading forces. They've also received gifts in the form of an annual salary, staple foods and so forth. Likewise, their children cannot inherit this title, and his parents' yearly salary.

[Strathy]

Following the Restoration of 2003 which formally ended the Socialist Era, the Monarchy of Strathy was reinstated, with all nobility given their titles back. As per tradition, titles of nobility are often related historical control over territory, although most nobles nowadays do not hold direct power over their lands. Many nobles, however, hold public office and participate in Parliament, sitting in the House of Lords - with the notable exception of the King. The ranks of the Strathan nobility are as follows:

The King

Full title, being: His Majesty Seumas the First of House Uitail of the United Kingdom of Strathy and by the Grace of Almighty God King, Emperor of the Strathan Realms, the Noble the Lord Protector of Partaig, High Marischall of Our Armed Forces, Sovereign of the Most Valiant the Knights of Saint Kentigern, Sovereign of the Worshipful the Knights Precary of Saint Columba, Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of Merit in the Strathan Empire, Defender of the Faith

The King is the Strathan Sovereign and in him all supreme power and sovereignty is vested. One addresses the King as "Your Majesty" initially and thereafter as "Sir". He should always be referred to as "His Majesty"

Princes of the Realm and Princesses of the Realm

These are members of the immediate Royal Family and are granted a title such as Prince of Glaschu and are styled "His/Her Royal Highness".

Other Princes and Princesses

Normally grandchildren, spouses, parents or siblings of the Monarch. These members of the Royal Family, not being children of the reigning monarch are given the title of Prince or Princess and styled as "His/Her Highness"

Dukes and Duchesses

Historically the highest non-Royal nobles, they had control over the Duchies - the largest divisions of the Kingdom. The Kingdom to this day is still divided into several Duchies, each with a Duke as their ceremonial head. In reality, these Duchies have their own devolved legislatures, each making use of the Dukes to varying degrees. A Duke should be referred to as "His Grace" or "the Lord Duke of ---". In conversation, one should address them initially as "Your Grace" or "My Lord Duke" and thereafter as "Sir".

Marquises and Marchionesses

The division beneath the Duchy was the March, historically responsible for providing a certain quota of soldiers to the King's Army in wartime. These were looked over by a Marquis or Marchioness. One should refer to them as "His Lordship" or "Her Ladyship", addressing as "My Lord/Lady" and thereafter "Sir" or "Ma'am"

Earls/Counts and Countesses

The County or Earldom was the primary division of the Kingdom, each containing a principle town and a number of villages. Their lord was the Count or Earl. Styles and modes of address are the same as for Marquises or Marchionesses.

Viscounts and Viscountesses

A similar status to the above, but somewhat lower in stature. In general, these titles were gifted by the Monarch as rewards for services to the Kingdom.

Barons and Baronesses

The Baron held sway over towns or small tracts of land. Nowadays this is the standard peerage bestowed by the Monarch for life-peers. That said, there are some hereditary baronies.

[Crylante]

No noble titles have existed from 1941, and from 1900 onwards the only thing resembling a noble title was the elected Grand Duke/Duchess of Lilledel between 1900 and 1915 and the elected Prince/Princess of Crylante from 1915 to 1941.

[Cagliostro]

In Cagliostro, there's a very simple system of nobility.

First, at the top, is the Grand Duke/Duchess. However, people just refer to them as a King or Queen to make things easier.

Next, you have the Prince or Princess. Usually, they're the children of the current ruler, and heirs to the throne.

Under them, you have a Count/Countess, which is just a fancy title. However, in dire situations ( like the Duke dying and his Princess daughter not being old enough to rule ), the Count/Countess can become reagent for the nation.
