\*/~Enclave Royale Gauloise

[Gallic Security Bureau (Old)]

New Enclave Nobility

Despite being an offshoot of the unfair regime run by a military junta, the Gallic Royal Enclave is an improvement in some ways. Its command system is a good example. Without the almost infinite resources and manpower of old, the Enclave puts talent first now. When it comes to your rank and duties, the achievements of your ancestors mean next to nothing. In a way, it is almost a meritocracy.

The same approach is now making its way into the civic structure of the Enclave. Power over land and people is granted to those who have shown their capabilities, and in recognition of their service. With enough dedication, yesterday's commoners might find themselves having a town or land, along with a fancy title. Titles are reserved for Gallic-born citizens, but people from Sirius can exercise almost the same authority as magistrates, supervisors, et cetera.

Another, less evident and discussed reason for this change is the traitorous exodus of a considerable number of officers and nobles from the Hebrides back to Gallia, be it in the hopes of Council's pardon or recognition by the opportunists from the Duchy of Burgundy. To counter that, the Enclave seeks to grant loyal servants a place to call their own, and in so doing, tie them to the Hebrides even more.

The titles are split into tiers, much like the military ranks, but a title tier doesn't have to much the rank tier. Naturally, the old nobility of Gallia sneer at this "noblesse nouvelle". But in the Gallic Hebrides they have to do so in secret, unless they have more merits than those they look down on.
