What is a Society?
A society in SEED is a community where players live, work, and collaborate together. Each society operates under its own governance system and provides the foundation for player interaction and community development.
Basic Society Structure
Governance System
Every society operates under a constitution that determines how the community is governed. There are three constitution types:
- Anarchy: All adult citizens have full permissions
- Electoral Autocracy: Elected president with appointed officials
- Parliamentary Democracy: Elected parliament with chosen Prime Minister
Physical Infrastructure
Societies have physical territory and buildings:
- Campus: The starting headquarters building where new players arrive
- Society Kernel: Arrival point within the campus for new and returning players
- Territory: Land area where society buildings and infrastructure can be constructed
Population and Membership
- Citizens: Players who belong to the society
- Population capacity: Societies have limits on how many citizens they can support
- Joining process: Players choose a society when creating their first character
How Societies Function
Roles and Permissions
The constitution determines what actions citizens can take:
- Role-based system: Citizens receive roles that grant specific permissions
- Constitution dependency: Available roles vary by governance type
- Permission examples: Access society finances, create policies, manage infrastructure
Community Resources
Societies manage shared resources and facilities:
- Society treasury: Shared funds used for community projects and operations
- Campus facilities: Shared buildings and resources available to all citizens
- Inbox/outbox system: Resource sharing between community members
Decision Making
Communities make collective decisions through voting:
- Ballots: Formal voting on policies, constitutional changes, and leadership
- Elections: Choosing government officials (varies by constitution type)
- Community participation: Citizens vote on matters affecting the society
Society Development
Society Goals
Communities work toward structured objectives that help them advance:
- Goal completion: Collaborative efforts to achieve specific targets
- Tier progression: Advancing from Village to Town to City to Metropolis
- Rewards: Benefits for the entire community when goals are completed
