Social structure of Nova Roma

A capite census (capite censa, female, capite censi, plural), is a non-taxpayer citizen of Nova Roma. A capite census can alternatively be called proletarius (proletaria, female, proletarii, plural). Capite census citizens represent the lowest, "outclassed" mass of a Roman society, which in Nova Roma consists of people who are not dedicated enough to contribute financially to the cause of Nova Roma by paying a small amount of membership fee. Capite census citizens are distributed into the 4 urban tribes (against the 31 rural tribes of the assiduus citizens) and into 1 single century out of the 5 classes (under classes, infra classem) (against the 50 centuries of the 5 classes of the assidui ). These instructions ensure that assidui have an overwhelming voting power in all comitia, but specially in the comitia centuriata.
