also... Counts have Counties... but what do Kurfürsts and Boyars have?
should the head of the Order be the Sovereign? or is there a more appropriate title?
is this gonna be actual "royal" stuff... or just "commoners" holding Titles? There's a difference between being "royal" and being a noble right? so... basically, Natopia will have a Nobility, commoners... but no Royalty... right?

Yes, the Sovereign should be the head of the OBH, makes sense for that to be the case. So far as the other Titles go; it should depend upon the amount of land that's granted. So maybe you could make a list of the land grants from least to greatest in area, and then we can match that up with the titles. Nobles would be the people who have land and a nifty title to go with it; I would prefer we don't use the term "commoners", since that's somewhat degrading. Instead, those people can just be called "citizens". As to Royalty - we shouldn't have that division - especially since our leader is an elected one, not something passed on through heredity.

lets see... when this is finalized... i will knight the following Natopians: Joel Aaron Tasneem Rob I will create the following Demesnes for them: Punkrock Pavleton Tasneemia Robland (just a place-holder name) ranked, in size: Tasneemia (i assume, its an entire school district) Punkrock Pavleton Robland (i... dont know... so its the smallest for now then, going by size... Archduchess Tasneem Duke Joel Baron Aaron... haha! Count Rob but, then... that puts Rob at the bottom.. and he's done more than Aaron or Joel.

I really don't care what my title is. But if we're rewarding people for activity, then it does seem fair that I have something a little larger. With that in mind: I hereby claim Adair County, MO for Natopia. We can make it the Archduchy of Robland; if that's ok with you, boss.

well... like how archangels are "better" than angels... archdukes are "better" than regular dukes. if u wanna be an archduke... ill nominate you for a seat in the frenzy... then u can vote on stuff and be active! (more importantly, you'll have more power and titles than Mark!!)

If I may interject.
We shouldn't just hand out titles because someone wants to sound cool. If someone wants to be an Archduke, he should prove that he deserves that title. The 2 people now at that rank have been working hard to keep this place alive and have been constantly active; to just hand the same title to someone who has yet to prove himself (under the new system...past deeds not considered), the result would be that the title is somewhat diminished.
I would suggest that should someone want to earn such a title, that they participate in the nation more. Join the Frenzy and debate/vote, etc. Pop in daily and post here and there - then after a while, it would be prudent to promote that person up the ranks by awarding him/her a larger parcel of land, and a niftier title.
