Now that we got all the boring and dull Administration out of the way lets get into the culture of the Empire and some social institutions/duties!

The Empire is feudal in nature with the Suyu, when boiled down, being a collection of hundreds of thousands of fiefs and villages to keep the Empire united the Taukan have applied a universal law code, universal language, and universal religion all in the hopes of bringing the people together. Seeing as this is necessary as the ruling class of Taukan only make up 15% of the Empire's population.

The people by the law code are divided into 5 groups of people they being: Koya (nobles), Yana (Noble Servants), Kuraka (Civil Servants), Mitma (commoners), and Chimor (Slaves)

- Koya are the nobles of the Empire and are divided into two classes: Blood Nobles (related to the noble family) and Lesser nobles. Lesser nobles can come from a variety of places from local rulers, high ranking officials, and successful generals. Each noble family is organized around a Matriach that manages the family estate and affairs.

- Yana are commoners who have been put under the service of a Koya. They are the workers and attendants of both the nobles and their estate. They are considered above commoners.

- Kuraka are commoners who have been put under the states direct service and are the lesser officials and civil servants of the Empire they live within loaned out estates given to them by the state. They are considered at equal ranking with most Koya

- Mitma are the commoners organized into communal groups of Mit'a lead by a matriarch.

-  Chimor are the lowest of all slaves and have no rights or voice in the government.

Now the mit'a should probably be expanded upon as they are rather important. Mit'a are communal organization of families and are the base of state service. Each Mit'a is expected to provide both civil labor and military service to the State. Generally the females of the family decide what males go to which service. Generally while the males are off working or fighting the women and child manage the farms and estate (both owned by the community) this ensures loyalty and security for the soldiers

Through the Mit'a system the state has a wealth of civilian labor with which they build many mighty building projects and a massive army which is wholly loyal to the state and the state alone.
