Hierarchy

The Light
The Light, 2104


-The Light is the one man who leads the new Tsarusian People.
-No other information exists aside from that which describes his reign, and the fact that he is over a hundred years old.
-Many rumors exist. The most popular tale is that he is responsible for the Great Transition.

-While he is the most powerful being in the history of the world, he lives an extremely ascetic life.
-He does not even appear interested in any pleasure at all. For example, his diet is diverse, but the food itself is incredibly plain. Evidently, he has a utilitarian approach to diet among other things.
-In his free time, he maintains himself. Working out, sharpens his fighting skills, maintains other skills such as first aid, lock picking, bushcraft, and other skills meant to fulfill his self-preservation principle.
-Otherwise, he is working, eating, or sleeping.

-The Light has undergone many transformational operations.
-Augmentations of both a cybernetic and biomedical nature.
-Thanks to astronomical strides in neurology in the mid 21st century, neurosurgeons were able to successfully disable certain inhibitive parts of the Light's brain.
-This increased his stress threshold and totally annihilated his instinctual feeling process. Sadness and happiness are not processed. Nor is the unpleasant feeling of physical pain.

-The Light cannot be removed from his position of power
-He is the backbone of the nation, and has been since before the Great Transition
-He can only be influenced by the Strazhnist Aristocratic Council. It is possible for anyone to reach this point.

Strazhnist Aristocratic Council
-Referred to as Councilmen
-Once known as Big MT generations ago
-Regarding the organization of its structure, there are 513 sectors of 51 blocks of 50-200 individuals (or more, depending on population of Edvilka class)
-1 individual from each block is selected by their block as a voter (or a Block Representative).
-These voters choose a sector representative from the other 49 blocks of their sector.
-These sector representatives choose a Councilman from their sector.
-There will be 513 Councilmen.
-If the Strazhnist Aristocracy's population is too high, the final Councilmen will be pruned to a manageable number.

-The Councilmen serve as advisors to the Light, and as representatives to Edvilkan voters
-The top minds of the nation, they often live an extreme lifestyle based off what school they study under
-They have excelled in their school, and have been voted in by the Edvilka class to serve in the Council

-Due to their high value, they may be sustained with sophisticated biological/cybernetic augmentation
-In this case, their "prime time" (usually 20s-40s) can last decades

Strazhnist Aristocracy
-Referred to as the Edvilkan, Tsarusian for "Noble" or "Aristocrat"
-They're selected at birth based off blood type, health, and genetic purity.
-Generally, those with O- or A- blood, or at least Rh- blood, good health, symmetry, and high genetic purity are selected.
-Other people who do express noble traits, but do not have any of the traits listed above, may be recommended by Edvilkan.

-The Edvilka may select (or be selected by) a School
-These Schools may determine how the Edvilka will live their life, it may be extreme or non-invasive
-Each school represents one of many traits of Tsarus
-Those traits being strength, knowledge, asceticism, virtue.

-Lower classes tend to view the Edvilkan with disdain, though this is often rooted in jealousy.
-Usually the lower classes will see these people as contemporary populations view celebrities.
-Unlike contemporary populations and the celebrities living in Hollywood, far from the peasants, Edvilkan occasionally live among the lower classes.
-Otherwise, they may live off the land, deep in the woods as hermits, in communities of like minded people, outside the nation entirely and planning strategic terrorist attacks, honestly they can be found anywhere.

Upper General Population
-Referred to as White Collars
-May have to reside in urban areas for certain jobs, among the drudges and among the Edvilkan

-The upper general population works the more complicated jobs, which usually require college degrees
-Often, they are involved in STEM, and the higher paid jobs come from the military
-Also may work in the trades
-All it takes to be considered "White Collar" is to take a high paying job. There is no other incentive.

Lower General Population

-They live lives of comfortable poverty, with much time to spare for hobbies
-These lives tend to be very steady.

Storm Class
-Genetically modified soldiers
-Gene samples taken from blood type O+ Germans.
-A little oversized
-Sent out into the world by the millions
-Out there, they destroy anything ugly.
-They are promised paradise if they manage to survive enough deployments. This is actually not a lie, either. It is a crime for citizens to treat them badly.

-A terrifying fact is that the brains used in them are completely normal human brains.
-They're just rewired and conditioned through constant, 24/7, stress.
-Methods consist of:
--Extremely loud, abrasive music being played for hours on end every other day
--Lights flashing on and off during sleeping hours
--Temperatures varying from 30F to 100F every few days
--Random drills, especially at night
--They are also not taught how to talk normally. Their vocabulary is strictly military related.

-They are trained to kill anything that is not native to Tsarus or its territories, and to view natives of Tsarus as friendly.
-To all Tsarusian people: they are your friend!

Drudge Class
-Drudges, grey collars, etc
-The underclass, those with poor intelligence or generally shallow, personality wise.
-They do menial, dull tasks during their working hours.
-While off work, they fulfill themselves with hedonistic activities, mainly partying, but also various physical activities.
-They don't actually know that their class is even considered the Drudge Class.
-Some of them are convinced that by working their jobs, they are proving their merit and worthiness.
-Others don't actually care about hard work. The jobs are cut and dry and pay enough to have a good time while off work.
-Either way, they're content with life.
