[RSOA SOCIETY] Social Hierarchy: Stratified upper (elite officers) and lower (laborers/soldiers) classes. Fertile women & SRs have no rights. Major Conflicts: "Reclaiming" America, subjugating/eliminating outside factions & dissenters. Tension between elites and commoners. Laws: Strict and harshly enforced.

• Constant focus on sex, even in public, is normalized
• Families separated, children raised communally to ensure loyalty to RSOA
• Propaganda demonizes outsiders, presents RSOA as humanity's only hope [LORE] Important History:
