Imperial dynasties

In Çakaristan, two dynasties are considered Imperial dynasties. The Akbar Constitution stipulates that the Crown passes through legitimate male succession. Only when the dynasty, of which the last Shahanshah is a member, cannot provide a legitimate male successor, a legitimate male successor is sought in the other dynasty. This is to ensure the continuation of the Empire by leaving the throne vacant. This arrangement came when Akbar, then as Tobu Emperor, was assassinated and his son was considered too young. Hakim bin Alsalam was elected to the throne, but had no son at the time.

House of Alsalam

The House of Alsalam is the current reigning imperial dynasty. The current Shahanshah is from this dynasty and also its presumed successor. It is a junior branch of the House of Vinandy, founded in 1685 AN at the same time as the Emirate of Arbor. In 1704 AN, this House was formalised as a junior branch and as an imperial dynasty.

Members of the house are descendants of Mahmud bin Alsalam (1642 – 1703 AN) and Fatima of Arbor (1638 – 1703 AN). Also included in the house are those married to these descendants. The House is part of the Order of the Holy Lakes.

House of Çakar

The House of Çakar is the second imperial dynasty and was formalised by Abu (Akbar) Çakar (1669 - 1704 AN). In two princely states, this House is ruling.

Members of the house are descendants of Hasan Çakar (1607 - 1686 AN). Also included in the house are those married to these descendants. The House is part of the Order of the Holy Lakes.

Royal family

The House of Vinandy is considered as a royal family because the King of Batavia comes from this house. It is the only family in this category among the nobility of Çakaristan.

Princely families

All ruling houses in the princely states are seen as princely families. An overview of princely families:

• House of Avchat
• House of Bhonsale

• House of Jhapali
• House of Myksos
• House of Ranković

Noble families

There are other noble families, including former princely families. This is because in parts of Çakaristan the succession of a reigning monarch passes by matrilineal succession.

Line of Woodrow

All members of the Line of Woodrow are considered part of the nobility. Although among the nobility, members are considered distinguished, but considered lower nobility. This distinction is not formally regulated.
