The nobility of Nouvelle Alexandrie is composed of persons who possess the legal status of hereditary nobility according to the laws and traditions of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie and the Monarchy of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

The nobility also includes those who hold personal nobility as bestowed by belonging to one of highest orders of knighthood of the Federation, such as the Order of the Golden Sun, the Order of the Realm, and the Order of Manco Capac, among others.

A system of titles and honors of Nouvelle Alexandrie that constitute it make up its nobility. Some nobles possess various titles that may be inherited, but the creation and recognition of titles is legally a prerogative of the King of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Noble titleholders are subjected to taxation and all the proper legal duties and responsibilities as a citizen of the Federation.

King Manco Capac I has used his powers to confer titles to recognize those whose public or military service, artistic endeavors, personal achievement, philanthropy, and other great deeds or careers have been deemed to be a benefit to the Federation and its people.

History

The nobility of Nouvelle Alexandrie is a new system, established by a Royal Decree of King Manco Capac I in 1685 AN.

As of 1694 AN, there are approximately XXX nobles who then, in turn, hold a very limited number of New Alexandrian titles and honors. Some nobles may carry more than one title of nobility. Many are active in the world of business, finance, politics, charity, and technology, with some taking on leadership roles at major New Alexandrian companies.

Legal situation

Possessing a title of nobility does not imply any special privileges in Nouvelle Alexandrie, be it fiscal or legal. The possession of titles of nobility is subject to the payment of a special tax on the wealth of a noble, collected by the federal government.

Titles of nobility are honorary and symbolic. They are rooted in tradition, and come with an expectation of meritorious and proper public and community service. The King has the prerogative to grant honors and distinctions in accordance with the laws, granted by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago.

The laws of Nouvelle Alexandrie recognize titles of nobility and protect their legal owners against third parties. Titles are in no case susceptible of purchase or sale, since their succession is strictly reserved for relatives of the first holder of the title. The successions are processed by the Department of Interior and their use is subject to tax.

Classification of nobles

The nobles of Nouvelle Alexandrie are classified as follows:

  • the old Wechua Nation nobility, known as the ancien noblesse or the achulla mintasqa (usually titled nobles, colloquially known as the "Grandees");
  • the new federal nobility, known as the noblesse de lettres or the chaski qillqa mintasqa (titled nobles and untitled nobles).

All achulla mintasqa (Grandee) nobles grandees were addressed by the King as Sispa wayqey (my Cousin), whereas ordinary nobles were only qualified as Aylluy (my Kinsman).

An individual may be a Grandee, whether in possession of a title of nobility or not. Normally, however, each grandeeship is attached to a title. A grandeeship is always attached to the grant of a ducal title. The grant of a grandeeship with any other rank of nobility has always been at the will of the sovereign. Excepting dukes and some very ancient titles of marquesses and counts, most titles of nobility are not attached to grandeeships.

A grandee of any rank outranks a non-grandee, even if that non-grandee's title is of a higher degree, with the exception of official members of the House of Inti-Carrillo who may in fact hold no title at all.

Forms of address

  • Members of the House of Inti-Carrillo are entitled to the honorific style of The Royal Highness Prince/Princess.
  • Dukes, Grandees, their spouses, and heirs are entitled to the honorific style of The Most Excellent Lord/Lady.
  • Titled nobles without a Grandee, their spouses, and offspring use the style of The Most Illustrious Lord/Lady.

Ranks

The nobility of Alduria-Wechua is divided into six ranks. From highest to lowest, these are:

  • Prince/Princess;
  • Duke/Duchess;
  • Marquess/Marquess;
  • Count/Countess;
  • Baron/Baroness;
  • Lord/Lady.
