Here is my take on the existing titles
“Hussar of the East” today is a title used to effectively recruit staffers into the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, particularly with a primary selling point being allowed to vote with the ministry to recommend a stance the Delegate’s WA votes. Additionally, I observe new TEPers who initially endorsed the Delegate and Viziers for the title want to keep it by continuing to endorse our security backbone.
Thus, the “Hussar’s” responsibility is to be ever-vigilant in endorsing and the equivalent responsibilities of a WAA staffer. In my opinion, this is practical to TEP’s government.
Concordat Article F Section 5 conditions that Citizens may only vote if they have registered to vote. Technically not all Citizens, thus, have the right to vote.
But the question isn’t “what rights do you get with this title”, as Lordship too gives the right of land ownership, but what practical responsibility does this role have? I suppose it has a self-fulfilling prophecy that those who want it have a responsibility to maintain their application for it. This does assist with securing the voting integrity of the region.
I may leave this for further elaboration from the others.
The two above demonstrate at least a current right or responsibility - the right to vote, the responsibility to maintain ones records and represent the region in representative polling, and the responsibility to maintain regional security, at least as I perceive it. A decorative epithet in the EPSA, however, is not as utilitarian. The EPSA Soldier has the rights and responsibilities of our military might, and is categorized with a title used to grant additional privileges within the organization.
A decorative title doesn’t confer any such right or responsibility. Instead it recognizes work previously completed, similar as to how an offering of title “Delegate Emeritus” was previously defeated. I recall the previous opinions of the court here, noting that as an AQ that these views do not hold precedence: [ADVISORY QUESTION] Titles and Honors As Arbiter Wallenburg shares within, this and the subject title allowed official reference to a Citizen with a title of a potentially former responsibility.
Mind “official reference” - the Delegate nicknames come to mind. In all cases the Delegate’s title never changed in office, and all former Delegates are known only as Citizen for all records, except are unofficially conversationally known as “The Deledark” or “The Delechama” or “The Delegatlae Emeritus”. TEP does not recognize these titles, but those friendly to their alleged holders do - the Conclave does not seek to go 1984 on regional memes that have no official and practical standing.
That’s an idea. But an assuredly legally safe route is realizing TEP does have methods to recognize exemplary soldiers even beyond their military careers with the Orders of Valor, Merit, and the Golden Ocelot.
