This document,
which should be read in association with Part 2, outlines the correct forms of address to be used in composing text-based
communications, in text-based salutations, in direct conversation and in formal introductions, for Members of the Imperial
Thracian Government Administration.
In Imperial
diplomatic and other public circles, “Sir” is generally considered an acceptable alternative to the formal mode
of address in both written and spoken greetings, except for persons of Noble Rank. The term “Madam” is the preferred
alternative for female addressees who are not of Noble Rank.

of the Government Administration should always be addressed initially by their official title when communications are conducted
within the context of official business. Members of the Government Administration who are also members of the Nobility may
secondarily be addressed according to their Noble Title. Such persons are also entitled to use the recognized pre- and post-nominals
for any Thracian Noble Title or Imperial Honour which they hold, in text-based communications, in order of precedence.
