Aristocracy

The **aristocratic system** (貴族制度 ()) on the Bahn Gaia Continent is similar to the feudal system in Earth, but there are some differences, such as the relatively easy elevation and lowering of the ranks, and the existence of ***nobles of the robe*** (法衣貴族 ()) that do not hold fiefdoms but only offices.
