Euluskan Nobility & Electors

The Euluskan Empire and its successor states had a hierarchical historical nobility system. Each type of noble ruled a type of land. The Emperors of that house would wear its respective crown. Later after the Empire, many of these noble ranks still stood in name among modern nations. 
== Explanation ==
The 5-10 most powerful noble families - the Electors, also interchangeably called Countesses - would appoint an Emperor (or simply grant assent, if the old one's heir was decent enough). Beneath them, you had various ranks based on what sort of land they owned. The Governors owned huge amounts of wilderness land. Duchesses were roughly equal, ruling very important states and provinces. Polemarchs ruled a single city, but important ones at that, allowing the Duchy above them to worry about the state at large. Then, Palatines were mostly equal to polemarchs, but ruled areas rather than cities. Consuls ruled a sort of enclave or embassy known as a Consulate in non-Imperial territory. Finally, Lords owned manors - a town with a population, and at the botton, a Baroness historically owned at least twenty acres of land with a few farms or the like. 
== Main Noble Hierarchy ==
The major Nobility ranks of the Empire.
Female title	Male title	Euluska title	What do they rule? 	Notes
Emperor 	Emperor 	Rettu 	the Empire 	Elected by the Elector families upon death, abdication, or no-confidence. Usually though, they would be perfectly happy for the ex-ruler's heir to continue; but sometimes they disagreed.
Elector 	Elector 	Ylvala 	an Electorate 	The richest and most powerful noble families (usually about 6-8 at one time, which stayed quite static) elected the Emperors; usually from amongst their ranks, but occasionally from without. Also to note; if the elector was related to the current ruling emperor's family, they would be referred to as prince-/princess-elector; this was obviously a non-static title.
Countess 	Count 	Ylvala 	an Electorate 	The hereditary, static title for someone who ruled an electorate was a Countess. If it was a current electorate, they usually went by Elector (or rarely, if personal preference dictated, Countess Elector).
Governor 	Governor 	Dvëtö 	a Wilderness Territory	A governor ruled over a HUGE area of land, but one that was on the frontier and usually massively wild (known as the concept of Ziva Vixtareäna). A governor and their territory would be replaced by various dukes and palatines once the territory was fully conquered (e.g the Danderillon); whereas say, Lakay always had a governor from 1200-fall because of how wild it was.
Duchess 	Duke 	Valaxto 	a Duchy 	The highest hereditary noble rank; duchies were the most important and prosperous cities and their environs, held by ancient family ties. They were roughly equal to Governors, depending on how important their land was. Of the duchies, Felonil, Lyskeiön, Brist, Sanctum, and Datria were the only five Grand Duchies ruled by Grand dukes.
Polemarch 	Polemarch 	Eiön 	a City 	A polemarch ruled a single city, subordinate to that area's duke, but otherwise in full charge of the city itself so that the duke could worry about the rest.
Consul 	Consul 	Lankrauë 	a Consulate 	An Euluskan noble who ruled a sort of mini embassy/enclave within non-Euluskan territory to improve relations, known as a Consulate
Palatine 	Palatine 	Kovatha 	a Palatinate 	A palatine ranked below a duke and similar to a polemarch; they ruled over areas that connected a few towns or perhaps between cities. The few most important palatines were Count Palatines.
Lord 	Lord 	Vovoda 	a Manor (a town) 	A lord ruled a 'Manor' - basically a town that wasn't big or powerful enough to be considered a city.
Baroness 	Baron 	Lažto 	20+ acres of land 	Anyone who ruled 20 acres qualified as a baron and was taxed by the Empire to fund various things, including the Wildegard cavalry rangers.
== Minor Ranks ==
Minor, non-hierarchical nobility ranks
Female title 	Male title 	Notes
Consort 	Consort 	The spouse of the current Emperor
Crown Princess	Crown Prince 	The heir to the throne of the current emperor
Princess 	Prince 	A child of the current emperor
Grand Magister	Grand Magister	A key court advisor to an Emperor for matters like trade, war, relations etc
Magister 	Magister 	A court advisor to any other noble, for matters like trade, war, relations etc
== All Notable Noble Houses & their Domains ==
This is a big table baby. You can use the arrows to sort the columns; you will see how not every house have certain things e.g. there are a small number of electors. The ranks go downwards as you go rightwards, except for Consul. I'm including Consul, even if it's a special non-hierarchic noble rank, because it's the only of the minor ranks that's important for history/international relations!
I haven't included Lords and Barons because that's too small and irrelevant :)
