Mikado of Montserrado

Use: 1942-1945
History: During the early days of World War 2, Japan sent a small battalion to Liberia to take the nation. The battalion was able to take control of one county in the nation, Montserrado county. The battalion proclaimed the Emperor's brother Yasuhito, Mikado (Emperor) of Liberia. Yasuhito accepted the title but never visited the nation. Press in Allied Nations mockingly referred to him as the Mikado of Montserrado. A Liberian/American counterattack retook the county in early 1945, end his short reign.

Exilarch of All Israel

Despite the efforts of Herzl and his successors, the Jewish diaspora was unable to agree on a modern Israel, either in the Near East or in other proposed locations. Without a nation of their own or a geographic focus, Jewish leaders post WW2 proposed a non-state entity, with representation in international bodies such as the UN. Britain and the US rapidly agreed to this and put their clout behind it. The leader of this entity was named the Exilarch of All Israel.

Crown Prince of the Cubans

 

[ordinarylittleme]

Crown Prince of the Cubans

Use: 1800s-2000s

Instead of the United States occupying Cuba, a series of complex negotiations between the United States, Spain, and Cuban revolutionaries lead to a unique compromise. The three parties agree to establish a transitional period during which Cuba gains partial autonomy under Spanish sovereignty but with significant self-governing powers. During this period, a charismatic Cuban leader named Alejandro Martinez emerges as a prominent voice for Cuban independence. Martinez advocates for a constitutional monarchy as a means to unify the Cuban people and establish stability in the nation. His vision includes the creation of noble titles to symbolize the new era, and among them is the title of "Crown Prince of the Cubans."

Martinez successfully negotiates with the Spanish monarchy and secures the establishment of a Cuban constitutional monarchy. He assumes the role of King Alejandro I of Cuba, and his eldest son, Juan, becomes the first Crown Prince of the Cubans. However, as time passes, dissatisfaction with the monarchy grows among the Cuban people. Economic disparities, political corruption, and social inequalities fuel widespread discontent. Calls for a more democratic and egalitarian system intensify, and the idea of a hereditary monarchy becomes increasingly unpopular.

In the 20th century, social and political movements gain momentum across Cuba, advocating for the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic. The Crown Prince of the Cubans, Juan, recognizes the shifting tide and sympathizes with the demands for change. He becomes an advocate for democratic reforms and a peaceful transition of power. In a historic moment, Juan renounces his claim to the Cuban throne, publicly declaring his support for a republic. Inspired by Juan's gesture, a constitutional convention is held, resulting in the abolition of the Cuban monarchy.

Doe-Eyed Duke

 

[Goats-&-Bolts]

Doe-Eyed Duke

OK, for this one I’m going to make 3 assumptions.

Assumption #1 — the following content from a Wikipedia article on Huichol/Wixárika mythology is accurate:

The Wixarica pantheon in its entirety consists of more than four dozen deities… the supreme deity [is] called Tututzi Maxa Kwaxi (Our great-grandfather Deer Tail), who heads the family tree of mythological gods and spirits…
…
[The Sun-god and Eagle-goddess have] a son named Tamatzi Kauyumari "Our older brother Blue Deer" [1] who… is the most important deity in all Wixarica mythology and takes a role very similar to Quetzalcoatl of the Mexica, being… a god of civilization and knowledge.

Assumption #2 — the theory stipulating that the Huichol are an offshoot of the Guachichil is true.
Assumption #3 — pre-Christian Guachichil religion was similar to that of the Huichol.

Now for my take on the title:


Title: Doe-Eyed Duke
Country: Guachichil Confederacy
Use: 1473 A.D. to 1687 A.D.

Soon after Admiral Zhang He and his treasure fleets reached the American shores in early 15th century the Chinese learned of the abundant gold and silver deposits of Mesoamerica. Ming merchants and opportunists sought to gain access to these valuable resources which brought the Chinese into conflict with the Aztec Empire. Although the Aztec population was dealt a powerful blow by the arrival of new diseases from Eurasia the long trans-pacific journey and inhospitable terrain limited the Chinese presence in Central America. Bound by these limitations neither empire could deliver a lethal strike on the other’s forces, resulting in a decades-long conflict known to the Chinese chroniclers as the “Years of Blood”. Towards the end of the century the Ming were able to finally end this stalemate by allying with the Chichimeca — “barbarian” tribes on the northern periphery of the Aztec domain. Chinese cavalry alongside Chichimeca infantry (equipped with Ming firearms) stormed & sacked Tenochtitlan in 1472 A.D., breaking the back of the Aztec empire once and for all.

The following year to commemorate the Sino-Chichimeca Alliance the Ming Emperor bestowed the title of “Doe-Eyed Duke” to the religious & military leader of the Guachichil (one of the fiercest and most important of the Chichimeca tribes). The Ming saw the Guachichil as their vassals and the bestowing of an imperial title (referencing the importance of the local deer-deities) was seen as a great honour by the Chinese. At first the Guachichil cared little as to what foreigners called their chiefs; with the diminishing of the Aztec threat the Chichimeca-China alliance frayed and war broke out between them on more than one occasion. But as the various Chichimeca tribes adopted a sedentary lifestyle and came under increased Chinese cultural influence Imperial titles grew in social importance.

The “Doe-Eyed Duke” title would be used by Guachichil chieftains until 1687 A.D. when it was changed to “Qilin Lord” on the orders of the local reigning Chichimeca monarch.

Ard Ri of Nova Scotia

Title: Ard Ri of Nova Scotia
Use: 1659 - present
History: securing his position as second Lord Protector, Richard Cromwell was convinced by bigots in his Council of State to affect a reliable Protestant majority in Ireland by ordering the expulsion of several hundred Catholic families and villages. A mix of humanitarianism and political ambition spurred the old Gaelic nobility in continental Europe to intervene, threatening to further spoil English relations with Catholic states on the continent. The Council of State narrowly voted in favor of cooperating with the Catholics to minimize mortality, directing voyages to Nova Scotia and selling the tenuously-held colony to the O'Neill family. Several young men descendant of the Flight of Earls moved to the colony in pursuit of land and power, declaring the boy Gordon O'Neill to be their High King.
