In Xin one's rank is very important. Although their title rank (Duke, Baron, ect) is important the social rank is far more important. To be brief social ranks are what separates the nobles from the commoners and what also separates the royals from the minor nobles.

Social Rank is highly important it determines where you live in Xin (Cities are broken up between the classes think how Zhengzhou is split) and punishments for crimes (Higher ranking individuals are excluded from certain punishments).

The Social Ranks are as follows:

Dragon Citizens

Tiger Citizens

Minor Nobles

Yeoman

Peasants

Slaves

The only two social ranks I'm going to explain are Dragon and Tiger. Dragon is the Royal Family and the members of the 50 clans who are considered the highest of all nobles. Next are the Tiger which are higher then the average nobles but not 'royal'.

Most of these social ranks are determined by birth but it is possible to rise or be lowered to a different rank.
