Future Citizens' Party (Freice)

The Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ are the traditional nobility in the Country of Freice, comprising both hereditary nobles and those with titles awarded for life. The Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ were a social class below the Pưe̩rąqǡ, the traditional monarch of Freice.

Prior to colonisation, the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ were a significant part of Freician political and cultural life; their authority was significantly reduced by the Maricoenian colonial authorities, however. Since independence, the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ has seen a revival. Both the Constitution in 1972 and the Schedules of Government in 2021 recognise the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ and the system of titles and customs associated with it.

Today, the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ is governed by the Nưeɟel gi Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ, a council composed of the most senior members of the nobility, including the Pưe̩rąqǡ. The Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ continue to hold a significant degree of power and influence in contemporary Freician politics, with policies aiming at their resurrection as part of a general attempt to Freicianise the political culture of the island.

Titles by inheritance

There are three titles of nobility within the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ that are inherited. These titles are regarded as the most senior three titles within the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ, and represent the three oldest noble lines, with a history that can be traced back to the sixteenth century. The titles are:

• Kịqiqe̩ɭ ġiḡurą bưdɟi (lit. He of the Noble) is the most senior title within the Ġǡŋqąjiȧļ, being the oldest extant title of nobility. It is believed to have been created for the warrior Toŋqe̩gȧs in the sixteenth century, although few records of this period are known to exist.
• Ġɨe̩qodɟȧ 'gi qǡs (lit. Greatness of Soul)
