Republic of Tec

## Republic of Landagama

Vitorians wish to conquer or convert as many people to the Vitorian way of life. They are accepting of many things from each land and are open to new innovations. Their way of life is a mix of many cultures, influences, and religions. Architecture, painting, sculpture, laws, and literature are growing to a higher level. Rome is a trading nation which wishes to keep military control and protection over a wide range of people.

## Republic of Landagama Hierarchies

### Social Hierarchy

* **Patricians**: Patricians make up the ruling class. Basically, the Patricians are the aristocracy – one has to be born a Patrician – or rise to the legion rank of Tibunus Lacticlavius or Legatus for the chance to join the social rank of Patrician.
* **Equites**: Equites are Plebeians who have served a minimum ten year term in the legion or retired from the legion with the rank of Primus Pilus or higher. They enjoy full citizenship, are allowed to marry whoever they wish, could have a voice in politics, open and run business, and even given access to free higher education.
* **Plebeians**: Plebeians are strictly second-class citizens. Who are forbidden to marry Patricians or having a voice in politics. They make up the a majority of the working-class.
* **Freedmen**: Freedmen are slaves who manage to buy their freedom or whose owners have set them free. The freedman (or woman) then become a client of their former owner, relying on his or her patronage. Freed slaves are granted citizenship but cannot hold political office. Any children of freed slaves, however, are given full rights as citizens and thus join the Plebeian social class. Freedmen can work any job they are qualified for but often continue in whatever duties they had performed for their former master when a slave.
* **Slaves**: Slaves are the lowest class in society without most rights and considered property of the master. The quality of life as a Vitorian slave is varied according to one’s master and one’s job. Life in the mines or in building roads is considerably more difficult than skilled artisan-slaves who work for craftsmen or served their masters as tutors or musicians. Even so, no matter how easy a slave’s responsibilities might seem, they are still subject to the whims of their master who could have them beaten, for any reason. The only thing a slave is guaranteed was one meal a day with water three times a day minimum.
