Vrancian Dynasty

Social Hierarchy

The Vrancian Empire had a sophisticated hierarchy, everyone belonged to a special group or class. Loyalty to the Emperor was important, given the centralist nature of the Empire, especially in the middle period.

Classes

The ruling class (Vidija) in the Vrancian Empire consisted out of the Emperor (Lydrii) and its family (Lydriak), advisors (reizivc) and military leaders (hoaghi) and their families (hoaghiak). Then there was the “servant class” (Midijo) to which all who served the empire belonged to, both soldiers (aghi) and servants (Horilydrii). The lower class (Lidijo) were all the other people, villagers and farmers. There were also common slaves (Aolydrii), slavery was abolished in the late period however.

Aside from the Emperor, there wasn’t really a noble class, one could (except for Emperor) reach any status by experience and hard work. In the late Empire, the Emperor was elected by the advisors.

Government

Advisors (reizivc) were a small group, usually about 15 men or women, of wise men and women organised in an advisory council (reizivc ej daár). They gave the Emperor advise on the problems and management of his or her empire. Usually advisors were highly educated people from the universities. In the Late period there was a group of minor advisors from the military and universities (mureizivc) who were to elect a new Emperor when the other died.

The ministers (raánebti) were the bureaucrats, they ruled a ministry. In the middle period of the dynasty there were about 100 ministries, in the late period this was reduced to 30. Each ministry had a ministry advisory council (reizvicaj-raán ej daár) a representative (kálnusi) and servants (oeptenii) to do the paper work.

The Sultan appointed civil (shia) and military (dizki) judges (on). In the late period 50% of the civil judges (shiaon) were democratically elected.

A province was ruled by a governour (Gydrii) who had a lot of power, around him a similar hierarchy was built as with the Emperor. Localities were ruled by the nearest army corps and its civil advisors, in the late period local councils were democratically elected.

Servants

The Emperor or Empress had “an army of 10,000 holy servants” (Survitjo kiatu Horilydrii), young men and women, who helped the Emperor with anything. Maintaining his palace, washing him, guarding his many riches and secret chambers. These servants were slaves, but generally well treated in comparison with other slaves. There were dancers, people carrying food, door openers, messengers and they all had a hierarchy with ordinary servants and a Servant superiour (Horilydrii-ashi), responsible for the entire group.

There were entire Palace Guard divisions (aghi tir Lydrii) in each palace. Apart from them the Emperor in the early and middle period ruled an army of slaves (aoly tir Lydrii), who served as bodyguards.

Servants were never just ordinary people, each servant or guard was trained and schooled at the age of 7, via experience through work and ideological reading.
