Social Structure
The IoR’s social structure is two tiered, consisting of a small population of “Benevolent Citizens” and an extreme majority of “Valued Servants.” Despite their name, the valued servants are, in fact, mere chattel slaves, treated with the trappings of dignity and respect by exploited freely by citizens of the empire. The proportion of slaves to free men is extraordinary. Slaves make up such a large portion of the empire that the average citizen must own several to prevent any from lacking a master. Given the extraordinary majority of slaves in the Imperium, it is unknown how the Imperium has avoided destruction at the hands of revolting slaves.
