Pavlovian Nobles
In the Empire of Pavlov, the Nobility are individuals who hold hereditary titles assigned to a subdivision of the Empire (landed nobility) or as Peerages. The nobility is structured with the Despots at the top of the hierarchy, followed by the Grand Dukes and Grand Princes, followed by the Dukes and Princes, followed by the Sebastokrators, followed by the Counts, followed by the Barons and finally by the Patricians. The appointment of Nobles is made at the absolute discretion of the Monarch, although the Consuls are consulted before any appointment is made.
Nobility in Pavlov hold numerous privileges and vast influence in the politics of the Empire, as virtually the only way to enter politics in the Empire is through being a Noble. Although the titles of nobility are hereditary by default, the Emperor may also grant titles for life.
Despots, Sebastokrators and Patricians
As part of claiming successorship of the Eastern Roman Empire, and being based administratively on the Eastern Roman "Byzantine" Empire under the Komnenos dynasty, the Angelos dynasty and the Trapezuntine Empire, the Faithful Pavlovian Emperor grants the titles of Despot, Sebastokrator and Patrician. The titles of Despot and Sebastokrator are usually granted to friendly rulers whose states were within its sphere of influence.
