Kolios has a number of honorary titles. These titles may be hereditary or follow the rules of a life peerage in [[Westarctica]], meaning that they are absorbed back into the authority of the Prince von Kolios when the holder dies. There is no limit to the number of honorary titles, but care is taken not to name so many that their existence diminishes the honor of the rank, or the Nobility in whole. | Kolios has a number of honorary titles.

There is no limit to the number of honorary titles, but care is taken not to name so many that their existence diminishes the honor of the rank, or the Nobility in whole. For honorary titles that are hereditary, they may be fixed at a specific rank (as is the case with the Duke von Vogelland), or be subject to mediatization (as is the case with the Duke von Lingen). | ||
These titles are considered to be wholly valid for use by their holders. These Nobles are ineligible to stand for or vote in the matter of selecting a new Prince von Kolios, should the line of succession fail. | These titles are considered to be wholly valid for use by their holders.
