So you want to be a Knight?
In my ten plus years of surfing the net I have seen and read many things.
One thing that has amazed me was how easy one could be made a
knight. Like so many things in life, it not the title but its bearer earns
courtesy and or respect.
Westarctica has three orders of Knighthood native to the nation. They
are the Order of the Holy Cross, the Order of the Tiger, and the Order of
St. Valentine. Westarctica bestows knighthood to those who further the
cause of the nation or its people. Click Here to apply for entry into a
Westarctican Order. Below are links to Orders not affiliated with the
Byrdese people. Please view and enjoy.
The Holy Order of Saints This order is a creation of Universal
Ministries. Universal Ministries uses the Holy Order of Saints as a fund
raiser.
The Sovereign Order of the Cravant This Order is a fellowship based on
spreading the principles of peace. From their website:
"TheSovereign Chivalric Order of Cravant is an international organization

Order of the Realm of Britannia This offered by the British History Club.
Really, I can not make these thing up. From the website:
"Each certificate can be imprinted with whatever name you like. So,
order as many as you want, but order soon, as we expect to be very
busy fulfilling orders for these great gifts!
After all, where else can you get a "knighthood" without having to do all
the hard work?"
Indeed.
The Knights of Nwywre This is an educational site. The site promotes
Celtic culture and Chivalric ideals. I enjoyed it greatly.

micronation. From Their website:

the throne to the Empire of Trebizond, Kingdom of Macedonia and the
Latin Empire of Constantinople.
As such, Ludwig is now the head in the exile of several Royal and
Imperial Dynasties, bearing the titles of Emperor of Trebizond, King of
Macedonia and Emperor of the Latin Empire of Constantinople, being
thus the Heir of the Dynastic Rights of the Western Roman Empire."
