Patent of Nobility Card (where are you?)

[savage]

Since Aramis has been elevated to the dignity of Archduke of Sylea, but NOT installed as "His Imperial Majesty, Emperor of the Third Imperium", does this mean he should be styled as "His Highness" or "His Imperial Grace"?

Perhaps an important question for Moot deliberations?

Thank you Count Whulorigan. You are correct. This is extremely important. What should we call Archduke Aramis now? Very important.

Of course, we're not going to actually listen to him because that would contrary to Moot behavior

Discussion raised in the Moot Spire for deliberation.

Military
1 Depot, 16 CORR Numbered Fleets, 16 CORR Reserve Fleets, 4 Depots Fleets, 2 SPIN Fleets and 2 SPIN Planetary Navies.
Systems
5 Systems, 2 Major population centers, 1 mining system, 1 Commerce system

Roup

My holdings have increased as well to include Roup (Spin 2007) and Dinomn (Spin 1912). Both neighbor Regina. I am researching the worlds, but they add to my collection of tainted atmosphere worlds. This breathing mask is becoming a permanent feature.

Hello neighbor.

Welcome I have a couple of holdings of in Rhylanor so we're not too far.

 

[Kaeto]

Near as I can figure my two holdings won't even provide enough annual income together to even pay for passage to Capitol. Much less keep a Vicount in the living standard required for the rank.

Moot Proxy is worth 100,000 Cr per anum. Each of your systems have 1 trade code each for 10 grand per hex. Knights get 2 hexes, I do not remember off the top of my head how many a viscount gets but it is more than the 8 a baron gets. So that is another 100 grand a year minimum.

Asii needs work. Why does it have an efficiency of -1? With a population of 200 million, a knight would probably be more imperial representative than actively involved in government.

Does having a Cp or other capital count as a trade code for figuring noble income?

Each Noble Rank is double the previous in terms of hexes.

Knight (B): 1/1
Baronet (c): 2/2
Baron (C): 4/4
Marquis (D): 8/8
Viscount (e): 16/16
Count (E): 32/32
World Duke (f): 64/64
Subsector Duke (F): 128/128
Archduke (G): 256/256

Thanks,

So 440,000 credits per anum, including both the knighthood, the viscountery (?) and Moot Proxy. For doing practically nothing. Perhaps you cannot get a ticket to Core, but it is still a nice living.

 

[Kaeto]

Then I was doing the math wrong. Thanks for the correction.

 

[Kaeto]

Don't think I'll be getting much income from Asii. It's lucky to see a starship a month arrive. And while it has moderate of exploitable resources, and people to exploit them. The efficiency rating means that the world is effectively dirt poor with a Resource Unit score of -490.

On the other hand Dauni has major amounts of exploitable resources, but not many people to do the exploiting. And it sees a starship a week but that's probably bringing in things like food, water, and air since its pretty much a Mars type world. But what exploitation can be done is done efficiently. Resulting in a Resource Unit score of 240.

An economy of between 200 and 300 million people should have more interstellar trade than that. 200 million self-supporting people is an asset in themselves.

That is just the thing, they are not self supporting. Asii has a negative efficiency. Asii a welfare state. What ever is wrong with the people, their culture or the planet, they are not producing enough to take care of themselves.

Hmm Tech level 7, Law level of 4 run by an impersonal bureaucracy. Corrupt government and/or rampant crime? Civil wars?

What makes anyone else willing to support them? Sounds to me like the system that makes an entire world full of 200 million people dependant on outside charity is seriously broken.

[Dagrill]

Or a modern banking system that crashed the economy and now anything of value goes off-world?
