The beauty of the article is that it makes people confused, but the old man writes a serious article, so it must not make the reader confused

Declare in advance, don't talk to me about the history of Western European aristocracy and the European political system, the aristocratic system on my continent is unified and common to all countries (knock on the blackboard

First of all, the St. Rhine League is a limited aristocratic republic, the territory is composed of the alliance royal family and eighteen grand duchies plus dozens of small independent territories, the whole is divided into two camps, the parliamentary party and the imperial party, but the royal family still dominates the alliance by virtue of its strong strength.

The principalities and territories under the Alliance still have a great deal of autonomy.

In addition to the fifth rank of the prince and the male of the alliance, there is also a knight level, the lord belongs to the additional title, and the simple lord has no qualification to divide the territory, and each level of nobility is divided into three classes, and the title is based on their respective spheres of influence.

The lower nobles of the alliance, such as earls, viscounts, barons, and knights, only require a certain number of realms in their own plane, while above the marquis, they must have a considerable number of private planes, that is, colonies. (At this point, the Western European aristocracy is only used as a reference, because Western Europe in the Middle Ages was chaotic, and the aristocratic ranks of various countries were not exactly the same, for example, there was no earl level in Germany, and the counts of many countries refer to the court counts, serving the royal family but without any fiefs, and the knights and lords of England were all kinds of titles and grades, and they were written purely in the number of words, so they simply simplified a set of systems.) ）

The titles of nobility of the St. Rheinland League can be roughly divided into three categories: Imperial Nobility, Nobility, and Honorary Nobility.

Imperial nobility refers to the nobles who are not subordinate to any principality and directly swear allegiance to the noble council and join the alliance, so the word "empire" is added before the title of nobility, and their status is legally equivalent to that of the royal family and the principalities, but in the actual society...... Everybody gets the idea.

Ordinary nobles refer to nobles who are loyal to the royal family or various principalities, and the royal family or each principality divides the territory within their own territory, and is subordinate to the royal family and the principality.

Honorary nobility, divided into two cases. The first is because an individual has made a certain contribution to the alliance or the royal family and principalities under the alliance, and is awarded a knighthood, and generally does not divide the territory or rarely divides the territory, such as the court earl serving the royal family and the principality; The second type is those whose strength has reached a considerable level, but the sphere of influence has not reached a corresponding level, but few people are willing to accept such a canonization, thinking that it is a bluff.

Because the policies of each principality are different, there is also a gap in the overall strength of the nobles of the same level in different principalities, so I will not repeat this.
