The law has been passed.

The majority believed hierarchies were a major cause of inequality so they have been abolished. Now no one will be above another.

Time has passed and as a result of the laws passed the State is in great turmoil.

What is going on!? Each man bars his door, puts up the boards, and hides away, and scrimps and saves and hoards. No money’s coming in from anywhere. The Treasury is void. The cupboard is bare. Why have things turned so bad!? All through the territories of home, the State’s possessions have become the looted property of other creatures. So many old prerogatives are thrown away, you’ve no rights left to call your own.
