Strictly speaking, yes. However, they are IRs for OOC reasons. Or in other words: A noble does not have the right to go to a tournament. His king could very well say "If I see you there, off with your head on your return". But a player has the right to attend a tournament, because for many players that is the only way they will ever get to socialize with other players from far away realms.

Same with the class and the type of unit. Again, purely IC, a king could tell you to become a diplomat right now, because he needs one and you happen to be there. He would dress it up nicely as a promotion and thank you for the great service you do the crown, bla bla bla - and only the careful observer would notice that nowhere in all that were you asked your opinion.
But a player of the game can choose which parts of the game he wants to experience, and class and unit type are the most important decisions that change the game experience (aside from choosing your realm, but we can't really make that an IR, because it would be hell to merge an IR to choose your realm with IC bans, etc.).

So while the rights refer to IC activities, the rights themselves are entirely OOC. They don't have an IC justification.

Thank you for explaining the reasoning for this seeming contradiction.
