==Origin of Calsaharan titles== | |||
The original noble titles of Calsahara were established in [[Calsahara.ppt]], the 2009 PowerPoint presentation which effectively formed the constitution of Calsahara. In this document, five noble titles were accorded to the [[King of Calsahara]]: | |||
* Dey of the Desert | |||
* Duke of Chutney | |||
* Duke of Rhye | |||
* Count of Bastanchury | |||
* Baron of Novick | |||
In January 2011, Calsahara greatly expanded its land area to include the surround 120 acres, thereby becoming the Imperial Kingdom of Calsahara. As a result of this increated landmass, the newly conquered territory was divided into smaller administrative areas and a new series of titles were created. With the exception of the Duke of Chutney and Dey of the Desert, all other original titles were modified or eliminated to accommodate the new peerage system. | |||
