Nobility of Calsahara
The Nobility of Calsahara also known as the Peerage of Calsahara are the nobles and peers of the Colony of Calsahara. The titles of nobility in Calsahara are notoriously difficult to follow as there was no concrete system of record keeping in place while Calsahara was an independent nation.
Following Westarctica's 2017 Invasion of Calsahara, the peerage of Calsahara was absorbed into the Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica, but kept as a separate, and lower-precedence, system of titles.
Infinite Peerages
During the rule of King Montague, on 14 May 2010, the King issued Royal Decree III: The Infinite Peerages Act. This act allowed the King to create and bestow new titles simply by speaking them aloud. Obviously, this created some issues in keeping proper records concerning what new titles were created and to whom they were bestowed. The text of the act read:
The Executive Office of Calsahara hereby decrees that members of the Executive Office are permitted to create as many peerage titles as they desire whenever they desire.
Peerage titles may be bestowed upon members of the government, or upon others, and become legal and binding for eternity.
Furthermore, only the King himself has the authority to remove or eliminate a peerage title.
This act was, in practice, only used a few times, and allowed the King to give himself a slew of titles. All peerage titles in Calsahara are currently held by Grand Duke Travis, with the notable exception of the title Baron of Bastanchury, which was granted to Westarctica's Minister of Information.
