I actually added the tribal ranks. They are a bit scattered (shaman = abbot, tribal chief = count, warlord = brigadier, etc.). The tribal service is just too small to make a separate service of it.

I've added the religious ranks according to Catholic Church as it was mentioned in the Styles of Adress wiki. The various comparative ranks are exactly based upon land distribution. A count who controls over a county would be roughly the same as the corresponding diocese. Thus, a bishop and a count would be roughly the same in terms of power.

In roleplay, things don't need to be exactly the same as Catholic Church. Only the Saradominist religious structure seems to be somewhat alike to Catholic Chucrch. All the rest can choose the organisation like they wish for. I just need to know so I can add it.

For instant, the Menaphite High Priest might be equal to the Pope in this ranking. As roleplay group, you should just post it here and/or add it to the list so it becomes official w42 canon. Over the years we will build up a list of ranks of all organisations! It is of course best we don't create 1001 definitions of the same rank. Then things get too complicated. Hence why we should have an universal rank system.

Feel free to challenge the positions of the mentioned ranks, the more critical eyes the better!
