"Ah the Dominion Aristocracy. In an age of progress and the slow death of older ideas of nobility and elaborate dress the Dominion Aristocracy are the exception they don't just keep the old ways alive they actually spread them. Even in the common dress of Dominion people the lavish styles of the Aristocracy are reflected."

- Earl Jalo of house Jao

The Dominion Aristocracy is as elaborate as it gets. Talking in elaborate sentences and wearing the most expensive of clothing. The Rich and wealthy of the Dominion live in a strict social system where even saying the wrong form of greeting to a princess can lead to humiliation.

It also employs a series of fancy titles showing who is more affluent and wealthy then who. Each title wears a specific color as well:

Lord (Crimson)

Archduke (Red)

Duke (Orange)

Grand Prince (Light Orange)

Prince (Gold)

Viscount (Sky Blue)

Count (Blue)

Baron (Dark green)

Earl (White)

They are expected to be a living sign of nobility. They at all times wear their fancy suits and dresses and bear the many medals and honors they have one. Most serve as admirals or others as diplomats.

Although 'Rich' they are by no means above the law or holding more power then any other citizen each Noble has civic duties they must commit too and most must also serve in the military.

Although equals the Barons (Generic term used for the Rich in the Dominion) still have that sense of superiority over the common people. They live in the fancy houses, they dine on the best foods, and they have the best women they must be better right?

The population of Nobles within the Dominion is rather large compared to others 25% of the total population with 15% of that being just Barons.

Worlds with a high Baron population within the Dominion are normally called 'Cardinal Worlds' for the Cardinal bird which is a symbol of the nobility and the lavish nature of the worlds.
