There's nothing a drone strike won't fix.

The Kubanizan term for the nobility is arystikay. The nobles of Kubaniza are on the highest end of the social hierarchy in Kubaniza, though over time have lost much of their traditional influence. The more prominent members of the arystikay form the Hetmana Roda (see Government of Kubaniza).

Kavelar - The kavelars (comparable to a knight in other cultures) were historically professional military leaders and warriors. To be dubbed a kavelar, one had to prove their military prowess through combat. Today the title is mainly a symbolic one, but great honor comes with it. Military combat has been replaced with tests of endurance and physical fitness, and many kavelars serve as officers in the military today.

Boyar - A boyar is one of the lowest titled members of the arystikay, though not unimportant. Boyars historically served as small landowners (small in the noble sense, anyhow) and served as administrators for their superiors. This traditional role continues for the most part today.

Href - The hrefs were/are the major vassals of the Hetman. Historically, they administered the lands of the Hetman and enforced law. They were obligated to maintain military forces in their lands for the Hetman. The hrefs control six of the seven hrefstvos, the seventh being held by the Hetman.

Hertseh - Hertseh is a title seldom held in Kubanizan history, but in fact is almost the same thing as href. A hertseh's domain, a hertsehstvo, is simply a large hrefstvo.
