What titles can we use without getting into trouble with the law? Thinking i might make myself a Doctor and have Dr. in title - Im a doctor of internetology imo. Also i wouldnt mind being a king but living in the UK im pretty sure thats a no go.
I went to university and felt i've learnt about 10x the amount on the internet vs uni, thinking i deserve to be a doctor of information searching. Perhaps a Professor Prof. hmmm.
You can get an honorary doctorate from the
Universal Life Church. There is no official body which accredits religious degrees and the Doctor of Divinity degree is usually granted as an honorary degree anyway:

In the United States, Doctor of Divinity is traditionally an honorary degree granted by a church-related college, seminary, or university to recognize the recipient's ministry-orientated accomplishments.
As most American universities do not confer higher doctorates, the degree is generally conferred honoris causa. For example, Martin Luther King (who received a Ph.D in systematic theology from Boston University in 1955) subsequently received honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees from the Chicago Theological Seminary (1957), Boston University (1959), Wesleyan College (1964), and Springfield College (1964). Billy Graham (who has received honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees from The King's College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is regularly addressed as "Dr. Graham", though his highest earned degree is a B.A. in anthropology from Wheaton College.
Under federal law, a 1974 judgement accepted expert opinion that an "Honorary Doctor of Divinity is a strictly religious title with no academic standing. Such titles may be issued by bona fide churches and religious denominations, such as plaintiff (Universal Life Church), so long as their issuance is limited to a course of instruction in the principles of the church or religious denomination".
Similarly, under the California Education Code, "an institution owned, controlled, and operated and maintained by a religious organization lawfully operating as a nonprofit religious corporation pursuant to Part 4 (commencing with Section 9110) of Division 2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code" that offers "instruction... limited to the principles of that religious organization, or to courses offered pursuant to Section 2789 of Business and Professions Code" may confer "degrees and diplomas only in the beliefs and practices of the church, religious denomination, or religious organization" so long as "the diploma or degree is limited to evidence of completion of that education"; institutions "shall not award degrees in any area of physical science", while "any degree or diploma granted under this subdivision shall contain on its face... a reference to the theological or religious aspect of the degree's subject area... a degree awarded under this subdivision shall reflect the nature of the degree title, such as 'associate of religious studies,' 'bachelor of religious studies,' 'master of divinity,' or 'doctor of divinity.'"

PhD. are to my knowledge already pretty useless due to basic fact, that virtually anybody can reach this title, in my country (Czech republic), we also have peculiar title "inženýr" meaning literally "engineer", yeah that is official, academic title in my euro country, equivalent to magister (but in technology oriented academies). And you know what is best? With all those local titles (euros are quite obssesed about them) you can take out trash in US or Russia just as good as without them, since neither Russia nor anglo countries recognize these "titles". You still have to prove, that you can back up your BS nickname with actual knowledge and rightfully so.
His Highness Marbit sounds cool
