Hypothetically speaking, let's say there's a chap that'd like to have the title of Duke of say... Manhattan.

Off the bat, I know that there are three options to purchase the dukedom title of Manhattan - those being the Gallic Royalty (who are trying to take over all of Sirius), the Rheinlanders (who believe that they might be able to take over Liberty), and the Libertonians (who actually own Manhattan)

This chap would want the title just for the title itself (for all those Doctor Who fans), with no benefits or perks other than to be able to be called by the title.

Would this be feasible?

In-RP? It would be.

Good luck getting people to agree to this sort of RP though. (In reality I doubt people would mind too much if you did not adversely affect RP, and role-played a Senator with the unofficial title of Duke.)

If on the forums, and you mean user title, you need 2001 posts before you can change your title.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Works best in Gallia or Bretonia, I'd say.

Talk to any of the leaders of the House military forces to get RP clearance for it, or prepared to be laughed out of it.

I always dreamed to own my own snack bar aboard IMG's cardif facility. My comarade gotta love my juicy rack of ribs'.


Anyway, I am sure it is possible and perhaps enjoyable.

Liberty wouldn't work for this, but Bretonia and Gallia both have Monarchies, so you could get the title of Duke in either, if your roleplay fits. Unfortunately for you, "buying a title" doesn't fit...

Nobody buys a title, they inherit it or earn it. Also, the only way to get it would be to be Bretonian, or Gallic, as foreigners are very very rarely given these titles except through marriages.

Not quite... as long as no one finds out
