A handsome certificate, a gift pack and a title you choose yourself. Here is what the $74 starting price actually buys.

A souvenir plot, a Scottish title and genuine conservation work. Here is what comes with the entry pack.

One square foot of dedicated land and a certificate you print yourself. Here is what comes with the entry pack.

Five square feet, a deed and a gold-embossed certificate for about $39. This is the fullest entry pack in the category.

A real sea fort, an excellent founding story and noble ranks sold by price tier. Here is how the offer works.

Most joke gifts are finished within a minute of being opened. A title, done properly, is still being used at work eight months later. The difference is not the joke.
