Velikoslavian Nobility
===Belisaria===
 
{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;"
==Organization==
! scope="col" |Host country
Noble status in Velikoslavia is obtained either by being bestowed by a {{wp|Fount of honour}}, in this case the [[Tsar of Velikoslavia]], or via inheritance from one generation to the next. Within the system exists a system of ranks in which every noble is a part of. The highest and oldest rank are the Ancient Nobility, or those who can trace their lineage back to the arrival of or in some cases even before the founding of the Principality of Kollavik. The next rank is the Titled Nobility, who posses a title such as Grand Prince of Marquis. Below these two ranks fall the Personal Nobility and the Estateless Nobility.

! scope="col" |Mission
All forms of nobility, with the exception of Ancient Nobility, can be acquired under the [[Code of Meritocracy]] introduced in 1727. Traditionally, a noble title came with a grant of land and the ability to own and acquire more land, but this was abolished in a similar manner by the reforms of Alexis I the Preeminent in 1730. Though nobility is no longer tied to land ownership, the Tsar can theoretically grand land from his own holdings.
! scope="col" |Official
 
! scope="col" |Post established
Velikoslavia does not employ an official nobiliary particle before a surname (such as ''von'' or ''de''). Noblemen are accorded an official salutation, or style, that varies by rank, such as ''Your Grace.'' A key badge of rank for all nobility is being able to speak the traditional court language of [[Telerian (Velikoslavia)|Old Telerian]], and one is expected to learn the language upon receiving any noble status. 
 
===Ancient nobility===
The Ancient Nobility are the highest ranked and are composed of those families who can trace their lineage all the way back to the original Telerian clans of the 900s. All Telerian families occupy the rank of Grand Duke and Archduke. This is the only noble rank not attainable via merit.
 
===Titled nobility===
Titled nobility are those who hold an official title bestowed upon them via the font of honor or via inheritance. Titled nobility can either be '''proprietary''', for those who own land in Velikoslavia, or '''titular''', or those who are only endowed with a rank and title. The practice of granting proprietary titles mostly ceased after the [[Thirty Years War]] when the crown created the Imperial Holdings Corporation and transferred ownership of all state owned lands. Though it can still be done by command of the Tsar, virtually all titles granted since the 19th century have been titular in nature.
 
===Hereditary nobility===
Hereditary nobility denote those who inherited a title through the {{wp|Patrilineality|agnatic}} line. Hereditary nobility oftentimes possesses less wealth in successive generations, since aristocratic families are allowed to structure the succession terms of their estates, just not their titles. These families often have varying degrees of rank, wealth, and influence depending on the actions of their forefathers.
 
===Personal nobility===
Personal nobility is acquired generally by admission to an order of knighthood, awarded for rising to a certain rank on the [[xxx]], or given at the behest of the Tsar as an award for services rendered or acts of valor. It is only transferable to one's wife and is not hereditary.
 
===Estateless nobility===
Estateless nobility is acquired via state service but does not come with a grant of land. It is commonly awarded to those who reach high positions within the government.
 
===Privileges===
Nobility hold special privileges that are given to them with their station.
* The right to bear and use a {{wp|coat of arms}}.
* Exemption from the military draft
* Guaranteed entry into specialized educational institutions
* Depending on rank, they may attend the [[Imperial Court of Velikoslavia]], though nobility of all ranks have the right to apply to attend court.
* The right to appeal to the [[Noblesse Court of Peers]] and be judged for a crime in a trial presided over by the [[Tsar of Velikoslavia]]
 
Individual ranks also bear certain rights above and beyond these.
 
===Noble titles of [[Velikoslavia]]===
Due to the reforms of Paul I the Scholar, Velikoslavian nobility was streamlined to appear more like the western nobility of the Latins and other western courts. The archaic titles of the {{wp|Boyar}}s were virtually done away with in the highest courts of the land, though boyar families remained in far-flung corners such as in [[Nekulturnya]]. Titles such as Counts and Margraves were adopted and codified and systems of rank were streamlined based on Telerian blood.
