[OOC][PLOT] Planning for Arc 2 - Crisis on Infinite Earths

[robkelk]

As for who doesn't get one... The Juraiians have their own noble or royal titles, so offering any of them a knighthood would be an insult, not an honour. (The implication would be that Usagi considers herself to rank above the Emperor of Jurai.) Likewise, offering the small-d democrats at Penscacola a title from a monarchical system would be just as much of an insult.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here.  Honours like this are pretty common as part of diplomatic relations among royals.  Like, look at this list of honours held by the Heisei emperor.  Even Queen Victoria was a member of the Order of Kamehameha.  For nations at peace, it seems like the kind of thing that makes for an excuse for a state visit, so that you can get closer ties.

Those are all senior orders of honours, though - they aren't people who "work for a living", as BA described it some months ago.

Usagi hasn't thought things through. She wanted a simple system to begin with, not realizing that real-world systems are complex for reasons.

When she does realize, well... Aeka and Sasami will be the first two inductees into the Order of Tranquility. (At the top level of a three-level Order.) This is now on the wiki.
