In the Lord Darcy stories, the current King of the Angevin Empire and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is titled John IV, by the grace of God, King of England, of France, of Scotland, and of Ireland, Emperor of the Romans and the Germans, Premier Chief of the Moqtessumid Clan, Son of the Son, Count of Anjou and Maine, Prince Donator of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Sovereign of the Most Ancient Order of the Round Table, of the Order of the Leopard, of the Order of the Lily, Lord and Protector of the Western Continents of New England and New France, Defender of the Faith. It's fairly obvious that some of these titles were accreted as a result of conquests and treaties suborning political entities to the Angevins. What titles might the Emperor of the Third Imperium have accreted? Would some of them pre-date the Third Imperium in actuality? Some of the titles I imagine the Emperor might hold: *Canonically, Emperor of the Third Imperium President of the Senate of the Sylean Federation King in the Chanestin Worlds Ishimkarun to the Vilani Peoples (possibly in Vilani as "Ishimkarun Bilanidin") Secretary General of the Terran Confederation (NOTE: The head of the Solomani Confederation probably also claims this title. So what? Both the Emperors of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires claimed to be the representative before G-d of the Senate and the People of Rome...) Protector of Terra ("Inherited" from the Emperors of the Rule of Man) *Canonically, Archduke of Sylea *Canonically, Marquis of Usdiki Sovereign of the (Imperium-wide orders listed on https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Knight) Sovereign of the (Domain of Sylea orders listed on that same page) Any "cultural region" that has a history of being an interstellar polity probably also has a title that accreted to the Emperor when the worlds of the polity/cultural region acceded to the Third Imperium.
