Its actually Chevalier (Sir/Dame) > Baronet/Baronetess > Baron/Baroness > Viscount/Viscountess > Earl/Countess > Marquis/Marchioness > Duke/Duchess > King/Queen.

The Honorary Chevalier, Chevalier, Honorary Baronet, and Baronet's are the only positions nobles and territory owners can distribute. Any position above a Baronet needs to be given from the King, usually at the Kingdoms Conference during the New Year Gathering at the Royal Capital.

This was why Nina was fighting to get Satou an Honorary Viscountacy or a full Barondom because Honorary Barondoms and full Baronetacy are too common.
