On 11 December 2018, King James gave a speech announcing his intention to create a faith-based branch of the order, to be called the Noble Chapter of the Grand Hunt. As Scone was a largely non-religious government by design, he also announced the launch of a "sovereign and independent miniature state" in the form of a Prince-Abbacy (a principality ruled by an abbot). The primary goal of this was to provide more autonomy from potential interference of the Sconnish government. This vision was realized on 6 January 2018, when the Price-Abbacy of Inselwald was created. | On 11 December 2018, King James gave a speech announcing his intention to create a faith-based branch of the order, to be called the Noble Chapter of the Grand Hunt.

The absolutist Charter of Inselwald entrusts the Prince-Abbot with the personal exercise of all executive, legislative, and judicial power. This effectively makes the Prince-Abbacy an absolute monarchy. | |||
A fully-staffed princely court of the ''anticamera nobile'' would include a Maestro di Camera (chamberlain), an Auditore (a jurist and all-purpose legal officer, akin to a chancellor), a Segretario (secretary), a Coppiere (the cup-bearer...a courtier in charge of ceremony), and, of course, the Gentiluomo (the indispensible aide-de-camp of the prince). | |||
