Generic usage military and nobility titles from China.
This rank system lists the basic European equivalent of the Chinese titles of nobility.
Shi - Knight. This social class was distinguished by their right to ride in chariots and command battles from mobile chariots, while they also served civil functions.
Nan - Baron
Zi - Viscount
Bo - Count
Hou - Marquis
Gong - Duke or Prince
Wang - King
Huangdi - Emperor
A kingdom where, if there are multiple princes (princesses can't rule unless they have no siblings), the princes fight to the death in the arena to decide who gets to rule. A simple way to make sure your brother cannot make a bid for the thrown, and keeps the royal blood in one line.

There is not enough detail to be really useful or give someone a sense for how this ranking system works together. What qualifies as a Baron or Count or Marquis in The West is very dfferent than what qualifies someone as a Nan, Bo, or Hou. These ranks provide a loose guideline for social positioning, but really don't provide much explanation as to anything about this.
