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).
