Nagsenur

Nagsenur is the smallest denomination of Gemurtrakian communities and administration between non blood related individuals. Previously a form of, akin to , they act today as the bedrock of societal organization, representing a collection of people who will commonly encounter, interact, and cooperate with one another on a daily or weekly basis. They act as both a function to maintain community ties, for the prospect of fostering communal relationships allowing improved resilience in periods of heightened social pressure, as well as a method to allow planners to best accommodate the community to allow a degree of sustainability, allowing for most daily activities to be accomplished within the immediate Nagsenur region. The Nagsenur system holds an extremely important position within Gemurtrakian culture that it is an almost universal practice for people to adopt their Nagsenur name as a middle name and to regard members of a mutual Nagsenur as family members, similar in nature to distant relatives.

Originating as a system of military organization during the early old imperial period to manage large swarths of armies, the Nagsenur system was readopted following the collapse of the Gadram empire as a form of societal management in order to ensure important tasks were being completed by the people the tasks were assigned to, transferring those duties to the next of kin. This system remained through to the Confederation period, where it had solidified and formulated a class structure throughout the region seperating people based on origin of birth (Yanuzhyaga) and origin of craft (Zhyagaerda), restricting members of either origin to specific roles or locations so as not to disrupt the natural order declared within religious scriptures of the regional Owkugan faith. The system would be informally abolished during Salian occupation of Gemurtrak from 1702 to 1846 before being changed to it's modern administrative system in 1857 following the Nagsenur imperial freedom accord, which abolished social restrictions to all peoples regardless of origin, and reused the system as a format for social organization based on regional ties. Today there are over 3000 nagsenur regions

imperial period
The first hintings at a divisional system to organize members within various macro groups originated during the three empires period in the Thizen empire which broke individuals in society based on economic repurcussions for their use in military conflicts. Farmers and craftsmen were seen as very important members of society that should not be removed from their places of work or risk massive shortages and famine. People were catagorized based on their workplace, as well as their standing in society, with those who were highly disposable or crucial for the function of the empire being at the bottom and top of the hierarchy. The system held little effect on the public perception of those around them based on their position of the hierarchy, as the system was used more as a tool for bureaucratic forces in the empire over a function of social stability and cohesion by restricting movement between rankings, such as it would later develop.

former characteristics
The Nagsenur system was designed to seperate groups of individuals within Gemurtrakian society into communities who shared the same task to complete, generalized into eight groups. Each of these groups had their own legal status with laws affecting each group differently and allowing and/or restricting certain activities these groups were permitted to do or locations they were allowed to enter or leave. Along with the positions and their powers, honorifics were additionally popular but were typically only followed for the Yorbigu or the high four. These remarks ranged in length from "Ter genyara" (my strength), a term used for military men, to as long as "Ter geyosyanu, yorges gekasu, zwarkin kutrak, bur ter kazmat", a term reserved for the emperor. These groups consisted of the following:
 * Kreser (incapables)
 * Meduser (merchants)
 * Sugatser (farmers)
 * Korgeser (craftsmen)
 * Atuzer (military)
 * skurezik (nobility)
 * Knayser (Owkugan clergy)
 * Yoskeryanu (Imperial family)

These groups defined presented the flow of power and authority in the Northern Imperial period. Many of these positions came to be following the consolidation of the Confederation of the North with Yoskeryanu, Korgeser, and Metensugatser all being added according to religious writings between 1020-1080AD. Knayerdu were additionally moved upward in the ranking of authority, superceding the skurezik. Prior to unification, the authority and restrictions of these powers were theoretical at best, with resources among members of the confederation too thin to properly enforce the powers of the superiors. Following unification, the Knayser were granted supreme authority to oversee the maintainance of the Nagsenur system and it's characteristics. subservience was expected of the inferior group when in the authority of a superior. members of the military held authority towards craftsmen and farmers, but had to obey the orders of the nobility or higher. Superior groups were given greater legal grance when committing unlawful acts against an inferior group. A craftsmen, killing a merchant for selling them poor goods, would be given a lighter sentence than if a merchant killed a craftsmen, typically determining the difference between execution or not.

Kreser
The Kreser (lit. Zero worker) were members of society deemed totally incapable of performing any task useful to the function of the empire. This grouping included lame people, the mentally ill, impure, the terminally ill, and children. The distinction of children only applied to children of lowborn status, this being any group below Atuzer. Children born in the upper four were regarded as automatically members of the group their parents were a part of, unlike lowborn children, who started as Kreser regardless of familial ties. These children were not banned from labour, instead they were used to fill gaps within communities when positions in other groups required it. This could lead to children, upon leaving the Kreser group (which automatically occured after their 12th birthday), being in a higher ranked position than their parents in the event of a child being taken from a sugatser family and is subjegated to performing Korgeser work. These kind of discrepencies led to the later Yanuzhyaga and Zhyagaerda systems.

Impurity was another arbitrary term that possessed little legitimate grounding on who was regarded as an impure. The most common individuals attributed as impure were those who commited crimes against a superior Nagsenur group, those by the Owkugan clergy, and those of natural impurity (cursed families). These families could be marked as cursed if the clergy held a decisive opinion towards the danger of that family towards the rest of society, however the quantity and quality of the proof was debatable and was more often used as a tool to ruin public perception of a family who had gone against the community.

Meduser
Meduser's, or the merchant class, were defined as individuals who consistantly profitted off of goods sold that they themselves did not produce
