Individuals in this country are told that their rulers are their creators, and significantly more powerful. In lieu of this, they are forbidden from creating their own tools, exploring, or living out of the norm.

They import technology along with new inventions to demonstrate their elevated stature compared to the rest. In this family, the main dictator is the living parent, they have the most power and influence through the banking system, community leadership, and decision-making. The single child of the dictator is the general of the army.
