Estates Of The Dragons

Arguably the simplest of motives, the measure of a man is his capacity to convert between value to wealth and vice versa.   When one comes from a Dragons - based ethnicity, one is dedicated to the capacity to convert between value to wealth and vice versa.   1. They tend to be capitalistic, ruled by those who hold the greatest economic power at any given moment
2. They prefer affirmation by the pure capacity to acquire, and very little on philosophy, ideology, or who hits harder.
3. The naming conventions for children are usually pretty general, but will convey value.(precious stones, opulent colors, names that SOUND like wealth
4. Places are usually also named after the source of localized wealth, or of the resources that define the course of wealth gathering
5.Age is not a factor in the culture, except to define the strata from which the money came.
  In an Accomplishment ethnic population, it isn't only capitalism - it is a cut-throat, leave-nothing-on-the-table minefield. Below is a general list of a kind of ranking that might be used in such a structure
Class Priority Rank - Title Qualification Requirements to maintain
Upper High Chairman of the Board 100 Dragons Net worth over 100 dragons
Lower High Board Member 100 Crowns 100 Dragon portfolio
Upper Mid President 100 Scepters 100 crowns portfolio
Middle Administrator 100 Kwan 100 Scepters portfolio
Lower Mid Manager 100 Dwages 100 kwan portfolio
Lower Stockholder 100 Cups 100 dwages portfolioa
      Note that each Estate measures value differently, so for instance, Dragons does not measure by how smart someone is,  so a Board Member might be an idiot, and a Stockholder might be a genius...
