Principality of Petrograd

Foundation (4183):

After the fall of the monarchy in 4144, and the subsequent rise of the republic, the royal family hang in a sort of political limbo, no longer holding any real power but neither being reduced to nothing. Although titles of nobility were briefly dissolved, when the Imperial Alliance came to power on 1 January, 4173 titles of nobility were reinstated. This led to the creation of the Principality of Petrograd on 25 December, 4183 which was to be awarded to the head of house Romanov as an honorary title with no real power. Nikolay Romanov, son of the late former Tsar Kirill I, is the inaugural holder, but has yet to have his coronation.
