The Nobility of Kolios does not hold any official function in government. The total number of nobles is limited to 1 Prince, 4 Dukes, 12 Margraves, and 40 Counts, with no limit on the number of Barons. All holders of titles are officially titled with the base version of the title. Any Koliosian Noble may elect to be referred to by the commonly used female version of the title in daily use and correspondence. The only place they are not permitted this flexibility is on official government documents. | The Nobility of Kolios does not hold any official function in government.

Titles in Kolios are not locked into a specific rank. Whenever a title is passed on, the new noble inherits the title at the next rank down. For example, if the title of Duke von Weltenberg were passed on, the new noble would be the Margrave von Weltenburg. The Prince von Kolios can then choose to elevate the noble of their choosing into the Ducal vacancy, even if they elect to immediately raise the title that previously held the slot. This system is intended to balance meritocracy with traditional notions of aristocracy. All childern of those holding titles will be afforded the courtesy of being referred to by the informal title "Hochbünd." | Titles in Kolios are not locked into a specific rank.
