A question came up during the last traveller session. How many Marquises are
there in the 3rdImp? Looking at the character generation system yields some
ludicrious number, Looking at the number needed in the Imperium (one per planet
and a few honorary) gives around 15000 to 20000.
What do you think out there? The number of other nobles is also interesting.
(And the number of emperors is uncertain :-)

that one of them could take care of unsavory business like this for me!"
