Society, Eastern Continent, during war

Government questioned by people for the first time

Government left low ranking people unprotected

If you weren't part of the movement to defeat the Western Continent, nothing was done to save you

If you were part of the movement, you were part of the government

If you were not part of the government, you were either drafted as a petty soldier and died in battle, or you were forced to manufacture weaponry to attack and defend

No one could be trusted

Society, Western Continent, pre-war

Castes based on jobs, discrimination, communist with one supreme ruler known as Higher Power

The word "trust" was not spoken

If you questioned the Higher Power, you and your family would be killed

You did as you were told or face death

Highest caste=Mena'ri, consisted of high government officials

Middle caste=Kashan'ri, consisted of doctors, scientists, lower government officials, etc.

Lowest caste=Furin'ri, consisted of laborers, slaves, and the physically/mentally impaired.

Society, Western Continent, during war

Much is the same, but more enforced laws
