	The noble social class of Morobe is only partially consisting of individuals with titles and families with hereditary titles. Nobility was introduced to [[Morobe]] with the creation of One Nation in [[Year 21]], and thus it is slowly growing and developing as a social class. Most of the nation’s social elite is made up of wealthy businessmen, landowners and others who were successful or lucky enough to make the most of the changes that came to Morobe over the years since it was colonised. Influential politicians and military leaders of high rank are often considered to also be part of this social class.

	Nobility is more prevalent on [[Vorsia Companion]] where the system has played a role since [[Year 11]] when Countess [[Lilith Delcroix]] made it part of the new state, being noble-born herself and believing in the monarchical system of government the most. In Vorsia, nobility was tied with positions in the government, however, this has changed and in One Nation the politicians in office are selected by qualification and merit. Titles, with associated lands and responsibilities, are gradually granted by the monarch in recognition of service, effort, or achievement.

	To receive a title is considered a social privilege, but it's value is predominantly ceremonial. The individuals are entitled to several boons that set them apart as nobles but receive no additional legal protections or privileges over an ordinary citizen. Individuals are respected for their achievements that earned them a title, not because of the title itself. The few that were born into a noble family, or are considered nobility because of their relative (such as parent or spouse), are not entitled to a preferential treatment or a position of authority without being qualified to hold it.

Line 1:		Line 1:
			The nobility of the [[One Nation Under Jou\|One Nation]] is a honour system comprising both lifetime and hereditary titles, composed of various noble ranks. Receiving any of the titles is considered the highest honour a citizen can receive, though hereditary titles hold more prestige as they are seen to be bestowed on the family rather than the individual.

			The noble titles are created and granted by the nation's monarch. The criteria to receive a title varies greatly, but most often citizens are recommended to be elevated to nobility by the federal government in recognition of contributions and achievements. However, nominations can be made by any citizen. Those recommended or nominated for recommendation are thoroughly vetted by the Crown Office before the monarch's approval.

			When hereditary titles are granted, the individual's spouse, children and the subsequent generations born into the family are officially recognised as nobles. In case of lifetime titles, only the individual is considered noble, not their family, unless they have their own titles.
