Vida Ideal: Social Standings

The society of Vida Ideal is a bit of a monarchy. The ruler is the high priest of Sora. He is in command of all laws for the community. As stated in the customs, literature is taken into account fully. One man who had supposedly witnessed the arrival of Sora wrote a book containing commands from the God himself. This book is relied on for the creation of new laws.

To become a member of the high priest's party, you must first complete certain tasks written for you by the high priest. These tasks are for the good of the society and everyone will benefit from it. whether it be spreading the words of Sora and Aiko, or teaching the meaning of farming to an unwilling youngster. The society gradually accepts you as a messenger of Sora and thus, you are accepted.

There are three main societal groups in Vida Ideal. The first one is the laborers. These are the people who farm continuously for the priest and his party. But they enjoy farming. They also receive a hefty amount of payment, which helps with paying for new equipment and supplies. Besides being hard workers, the laborers are also heavily into religion. This usually means that every temple visit is made to pray for a good harvest and good meat.

The second group is known as the averages. These are your middle class folk who work for society as a whole. The averages fend for themselves. That means they grow their own food and trade amongst other averages. Some ideas for trading have been scrapped, because the averages realized that it would only benefit individuals rather than all of them

Now for the finale, the grand schemers of Vida Ideal. Introducing: The priest's party. Now, this holy group truly believes that they've received the word of Aiko and Sora. These and the holy book drive the members to ask the high priest to consider that new laws be made into effect. Certain laws may be taken into effect regarding circumstances, such as criminal behavior or anti-god actions.
