With the Kaiser ruling the Empire of Rheinland, a stable system of nobility, the Adelssystem von Rheinland has come into place, represented by the most decent families who have significantly contributed to the development of the holy Rheinland Empire and have contributed to bring our house wealth and prosperity.
The noble system is split into the Hochadel and the Niederer Adel, those are defined as following:
Hochadel: The upper nobility. It is reserved for major noble family bloodlines and individuals who have contributed significantly to Rheinland.
Niederer Adel: The lower nobility. For those who have proven to be decent citizens of the imperial Rheinland. These are minor lords and ladies worthy of recognition.
Only the Kaiser, his Erzherzoge or the Reichstag in the name of his majesty are allowed to hand out noble titels to individuals and families. Being a noble of the Rheinland Empire means recieving a defined part of our land, a title and the allowance to add the "von" before your lastname.
Your responsibilities are to stay loyal to the Kaiserreich, serve the Kaiser at his will, enforce the laws, ensure peace in the Kaiserreich and hold up the extraordinary work for his majesty.

According to §2.4.4.1. of our law, Impersonation of Rheinland nobility such as using the 'von' nobiliary particle without the recognition of the Kaiser is a crime and will lead to a harsh punishment for the individual violator.

Your motivation to become a noble:
To gain the power to show the Glorious Rhineland with all its splendor and beauty to the outside world. To gain power to better serve the Emperor in civilian life and in war. To gain power to show how to behave as a nobleman. To gain the power to unite the people and teach them to follow the Emperor.

For a long time now, I and my family have been putting our lives on the line every day to protect our great Rhineland. Many times we have beaten back and destroyed corsairs and other dirty invaders. My ship the Greifenstein has already destroyed more enemy ships than the construction price was worth. I often lead fleet units into battle. I have also participated in the destruction of several space stations. Anytime I would sacrifice my life for our great Rhineland if this would bring us forward. I, as your servant, ask for the title of nobility and I ask that when we free our Rhineland from the criminal filth, I, as a representative of the Habsburg family, may fight in the front line to make our divine Rhineland great again. For the Emperor, For the People, For Rhineland. Respectfully Ferdinant Habsburg.
