*'''Gentry''' or Aristocrats are wealthy commoners who have bought their way into high society. With Regalia transitioning into a pseudo-industrialized nation, some families of new money have become more wealthy than old money nobles, so there is a reasonable chance many of the titled nobles are in fact quite poor, because landed titles do not generate as much money as capital investment and business enterprise. In most cases, 70% of the finances generated off land tax are passed off to the higher ranked Dukes and the Emperor, meaning old money can in theory have accrued wealth over time, but cannot spend it as luxuriously as the Gentry could. | *'''Gentry''' or Aristocrats are wealthy commoners who have bought their way into high society.

*'''Knights''' can be members of multiple social classes at once, as many Knights are also title holders or just wealthy family members of New Money. Knights however socially exist in a rank between the Gentry and the Barons, and higher-titled Nobles. Even if in courtly robes a Knight might be of the same rank as a Count, while a Knight is in Knight duty (in armor), they are ranked as petty nobility and thus are outranked by their peers. They still however are considered of higher social class than Commoner and retain their higher authority rank while off-duty in civilian clothing. | *'''Knights''' can be members of multiple social classes at once, as many Knights are also title holders or just wealthy family members of New Money.
