==Courtesy Title vs. Proclamation of Titleage== | |||
Courtesy Titles should not be confused with Proclamations of Titleage. Although the two appear very similar and both are issued directly by the [[Grand Duke of Westarctica|Grand Duke]] without formal Letters Patent, there are still important differences: | |||
* A title issued by Proclamation of Titleage is still a hereditary title. | |||
* A title issued by Proclamation of Titleage is typically accompanied by a map showing the specific region for which the title was names. | |||
* A Proclamation of Titleage may or may not bear the wax [[Seal of Westarctica]] or the [[Seal of the Grand Duke]]. It may also bear both seals. | |||
* All Proclamations of Titleage created after 2010 are saved in the government's national repository for verification of authenticity. | |||
