City Administration on Behalf of the Central Governmen A. Servicemen OOC: These are primarily based on Zhou Dynasty titles, however, the powers therein are more or less like the powers of the nobility during the Han Dynasty (a mixture of holding ceremonial and political power). The political power of the nobility solely remains in the House of Exemplary Persons, wherein each noble retains a seat for life, therefore having one third of all legislative power. The titles and styles are as follows: I. King/Prince A king, sometimes known as a prince, will be entitled to the style of "Highness". Only five kings/princes may exist at any time, one for each state. *All ranks below king/prince and above knight-errant are accorded the style of "Lord". II. Duke Ducal titles and rank are automatically conferred upon all members of the Cabinet. The number of dukes in the Celestial Empire at any given time is unlimited. III. Marquis A marquis must reside and ceremonial represent border regions. Typical bestowed upon former military officers. The number of marquis may not exceed the number of marches. IV. Count The total amount of counts in the realm is unlimited. V. Viscount The total number of viscounts must always exceed the total number of counts. VI. Baron The total amount of barons in the realm is unlimited. VII. Knight-Errant This title of nobility carries with it the style of "Sir". It can only be granted to those who have shown to be true Jienist gentlemen. VIII. Titles Granted to Foreigners Titles may be granted to foreigners, however, no territorial designation will be attached to them, instead their last name shall be used, ie John Doe, Duke of Doe. Foreigners may not be given titles of kingship. THE HOUSE OF THE WAY OF HUMANE AUTHORITY (ENDED IN 3812) The House of the Way of Humane Authority, or Dao Wang Yuan, is the trilateral legislature of Indrala. It is divided into the House of the People, the House of the Nation, and the House of Exemplary Persons. Each House is equal and has real parliamentary power. The House of the People is made up of representatives who are democratically elected through universal suffrage from each of the states of Indrala. The House of the Nation is made up of the nobility of the Celestial Empire and others who are appointed to the body by the Divine Emperor. The House of Exemplary Persons is primarily made up of Jienist scholars who have earned the rank of "erudite" and have graduated from the Imperial University. Representatives from other religions are also included, so long as they have followers in the Celestial Empire. Note: Only the Houses of the Nation and Exemplary Persons are made up of individuals from the colonies. |
