National Reputation System

The National Reputation is a social credit system developed by Sable Reflexions, commissionned by the administration of the Magith-Vlaad Kingdom of Calada. It is intended to standardize the assessment of citizens' and businesses' economic and social reputation by a popular voting system.
== Overview ==
The initiative expects the unification of record system for individuals, businesses and the government to be tracked and evaluated for trustworthiness. The system uses numerical score as the reward and punishment mechanism. Numerical system has been implemented only in regional programs, while the kingdomwide regulatory method is for blacklisting and whitelisting. The credit system is closely related to the Empires mass surveillance systems which incorporate facial recognition systems, big data analysis technology, AI and Legal Interpretation programs.
In addition to dishonest and fraudulent financial behavior, other behavior that some cities have officially listed as negative factors of credit ratings includes playing loud music or eating in rapid transits, violating traffic rules such as jaywalking and red-light violations, making reservations at restaurants or hotels but not showing up, failing to correctly sort personal waste. On the other hand, behavior listed as positive factors of credit ratings includes greeting people on the street, small talk, donating blood, donating to charity, volunteering for community services, and so on.
== Untrustworthiness ==
People who are deemed untrustworthy or on a blacklist have certain privileges limited. The National reputation system determines employment, freedom of movement, aether web speed, warp privileges and even hygiene access. Most people in these situation often choose to quickly fulfill their duties required by the law. In general, it takes 2–5 days to 2-5 years to be removed from the blacklist, but early removal is also possible if the blacklisted person has done enough remedies. Certain personal information of the blacklisted people is deliberately made accessible to the society and is displayed online as well as at various public venues such as movie theaters and buses. On the other hand, people with high credit ratings may receive rewards such as less waiting time at medbays and governmental agencies, discounts at hotels, greater likelihood of receiving employment offers and so on.
== The NRS as a behavioral regulator ==
The system is relatively fluid and loss of tier is a common response to a minor offence, it combats wastefulness and corruption. Anyone can rate anyone's popularity out of five stars, from friends to strangers met on the street. This ensures citizens are compliant with state guidelines of conduct. As a resut of mass surveillance, every offense and defense can be verified by those who wish to do so.
The NRS helps to regulate social behavior, improving the "trustworthiness" which includes paying taxes and bills on time and promote civil and community behaviors and values. The system remains in the rule of law and barely infringes the legal rights of residents and organizations, and in time the system may be a tool for comprehensive government surveillance and for suppression of dissent from the Empire. The stated purpose of the NRS is to help people trust each other again, this failed, but at least they pretend to do so.
== Social credit systems ==
There are multiple social credit systems right now. The judicial system (blacklist system for discredited individuals and organizations), municipal social credit system, financial credit system, and commercial credit system. These four systems are interconnected seamlessly, but relevantly independent from each other with their own jurisdictions, rules, and logic.
=== Judicial system ===
A blacklist of debtors and recurring criminals. The list lists people who are prioritized into integrating rehabilitation treatments in order to become productive citizens once more. failure to comply often results in publication of the people through the state-owned media. This ensures reporting to rehabilitation programs are mostly respected.
=== Financial system ===
A blacklist of financial delinquents. Users with good scores are offered advantages such as easier access to credit loans, discounts for car and bike sharing services, fast-tracked visa application, or free health check-ups and preferential treatment at Medbays. The algorithms used to assign scores use a big-data analysis and artificial intelligence approach.
=== Local government ===
The Kingdom chooses select model cities that demonstrated the steps needed to make a functional and efficient implementation of the NRS. These model cities successfully handled their blacklists and whitelists by creating credit sharing platforms, and data sharing efforts with other cities. Citizens begin with an initial score, to which points are added or deducted depending on their actions. The specific number of points for each action are listed in publicly available catalogs. Cities also have a multi-level system, in which districts decide on scorekeepers who are responsible for reporting scores to higher-ups. Some experiments also allowed citizens to appeal the scores they were attributed. These systems mean to penalize citizens generally agreed as untrustworthy and are able to functionally change people’s behavior by ensuring they are closely associated with it.
=== National government ===
The national reputation system is an ecosystem of various scores and blacklists run by Supra and Infra-governmental agencies, all joined in one unified system. The NRS is designed to be a single system-wide social credit score for each citizen and business.
