Ok so you are basing it after the Victorian period of England. My own concerns then come to play of the following: No company was actually owned by the government during that period, where it is placed in Bretonia. And that being as it may, that the Victorian period of England is long after the English Civil War.
The economic's of Bretonia looks more loke post WWII Britian, where nationalisation was rapent.
And to finsih my first paragraph, for its second comment. The rank of any Noble held no power as it was already stripped from them by the Government. It is merely a rank of honour, tradition and the portrayal of the Crown. Most commonly the rank of Duch or Duchess, has been since from the English Civil war, given to those whom married to a royal, and have no claim over the thrown.
So from my own observations of Victorian England, and that of Bretonia, neither hold any similarity at all. So it is hard to forsee how Bretonia is based from the Victorian Period.
One cannot be in the House of Commons and the House of Lords, as it would defeat the object of each being completely independant and that the House of Lords holds no preference to the parties that form the government, or be infleunced by the Debates and discussions over Bills that take place with in the House of Commons.
And thank you very much Jammi, that is most appreciated.
@Echo,
If you were which, and I mean very rich, wouldn't you want to show that off! To which my formention statement is valid in Orbital's own lore. (commonly really just in rumours) An the Entreprise Liner is not exclusive to Orbital Spa and Cruise either. It is not made at one of their bases, nor is it stated anywhere that it is for the sole use of OSC either. There are a few other ID's that are permitted to use the Entreprise Liner and is not restricted via the tech chart as it is for all intent's and purpose's rule wise, just a Generic Civilian Liner. So to claim that OSC already has it's own Ship line is un-true.
Also prehaps you have not read the maybe. For which I see that you have assumed not to take in part that it is of an undecided nature.
To finish off Echo, that the idea of having a specific line for OSC is to show its lore wise attitude of showing off. It is not a short term goal, but a long term goal, and was discussed over a period since I started with OSC Factions in December last year (Actively) that it was a long term goal, in reasoning of the Faction itself.
