Line 163:
*Cities with 100,000 residents must send 10,000 residents off as soldiers or load bearers carrying food, weapons, armor, and equipment for the armies
*As the average "small" city hosts more than half a million residents, even the smallest Mikaean households on the planet may field 100,000-strong armies
*The Mikaeans view all conflict as total war, with civilian casualties a major − if not primary − objective during conflicts between households
**Soldiers do not see distinction between combatant and non-combatant, and all Mikaeans not of their house are killed equally by the soldiers
**The concept of mercy does not exist within Mikaean society or military doctrine, and those who surrender are simply regarded as easier to kill
**Killing the males of the opposing household is typically the main goal of a war, so as strip the opponent of their manpower and primary leadership
**When fighting within the same household, killing or castrating a male of the same father is regarded as a war crime on par with genocide
==Economy==
*Because of its relative scarcity compared to the number of Mikaeans, quantities of rice is considered legal tender across Family Pride
