The 10 Ranks are the basis of the Xinese military and administration. The Second Emperor was the one to create this system as a way to organize and manage his growing Empire everything would be simplified into a series of 10 ranks with a few sub classes if necessary.

The 10 ranks are split into three main groupings, Upper, Middle, and Lower (Each has 3 ranks within), now you may ask, "But that adds up to nine?", and right you would be. Above the upper class is placed a special rank known as 'Dragon' which is above all others and has the final say. Each rank system has to have a Dragon rank no matter what.

The Ranks are also a system of pay grads so the higher the rank the higher the pay (Government pay that is) think of it as in the context of this proverb: "There are no poor people in the upper ranks and no powerful families in the lower ones"

The pay grads themselves are simple at the top a Dragon is paid 10,000 Chao while the lowest rank receives 100 Chao.
