Despite the fact that titles of nobility were abolished a hundred years ago, many people still dream of being addressed as "Your Excellency" and showing the respect due to the title of count. If you understand all the intricacies, then this can be achieved even in the 21st century.

Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to carefully study your pedigree. Perhaps there were blue-blooded ancestors in your family, and then you just need to restore the title of nobility. Take a close look at old photos. Maybe your great-grandmother graduated from the Smolny Institute, and your great-grandfather flaunts in the uniform of the general-in-chief. If you cannot restore the family tree on your own, contact a special service - the Russian Genealogical Federation, which will help you in your search for a fee. After the documents are collected, you should take them to the Assembly of the Nobility, which will consider your case and make a decision on granting you the title.
Step 2
Earl's title can be obtained for special merit. In the past, monarchs awarded medals for valor displayed during battle. At the present time, running with a sword at the enemy is not necessary. For example, the Beatles received the Order of the British Empire for their valuable contribution to culture. Later they were awarded to Elton John and Elizabeth Taylor.
Step 3
You can buy the title of count. You will be given a certificate certifying everyone that you really are the owner of an honorary title of nobility. If you wish, you can acquire not only the nobility, but also the land. So, in Scotland, the Glencarne estate is for sale, divided into many plots. Each buyer of a plot of land also receives the nobility as a gift.
Step 4
You can get the count's title through marriage with the count. In monarchical Europe, it is realistic to meet even an unmarried crown prince, so for lovers of travel and social parties at which high society gathers, acquaintance with the count should not be difficult.
Step 5
Thanks to a fluke and personal charm, you can try to get the count's title in some African state. For example, kings from Lesotho like to express their gratitude in this way. Go on a journey, and in addition to souvenirs, you can bring with you the cherished nobility.
