Title: Title Systems

Simple
The simple system is very easy:
Dukes are Dukes
Lords of Imperial regions are Viscounts
Lords of other regions are Barons

Classic
This is the system we used for 6 years; many players grew used to it, so we keep it around. Titles are based on the region type you command:
City or Stronghold: Duke
Townsland: Marquis
Woodland/Rural: Count
everything else: Baron

Alright.  For Simple...  Are there still Viscounts?  Are city/townsland lords called Viscounts instead of Barons or Margraves?

For the Classic system...  Are lords of Cities and Strongholds Margraves or Dukes like the wiki says?

Viscounts still exist, in the size-based and complex systems.

The Classic system is now:

• Dukes are Dukes
• Lords of cities, strongholds, and townslands are Margraves/Margravines
• Lords of Woodlands and Rurals are Counts or Countesses
• Lords of other regions are Barons/Baronesses

The Simple system is now:

• Dukes are Dukes
• Lords of cities and strongholds are Margraves/Margravines
• All other Lords are Counts/Countesses

In all systems, Dukes are now simply called Dukes or Duchesses.

In the size-based system, the region titles are, in decreasing order of size, Margrave, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

In the Republican system, city/stronghold Lords are Governors and other Lords are Senators.

In the Democratic system, city/stronghold Lords are Governors and other Lords are Representatives.

The complex system is, of course, complex, but the titles are the same as in the size-based system (organized by importance, rather than strictly size, of course).

I think Governor and Senator are gender neutral.

Correct.

There isn't one; they're gender-neutral titles.
