The power pyramid

The ranking runs Hobo, Settlement Resident, Settlement Owner, District Owner, Shadow Governor. An independent pre-launch reference site recorded it from the official 28 October announcement. This desk has not checked the announcement text itself, so the list is presented as a citation rather than a Kefir quote.

Two related facts are first-party. Kefir's help centre has an article on becoming a settlement owner and earning income, and the money article states that settlement owners and clans controlling territories collect taxes. Territory therefore has a documented economic function regardless of how the ladder is worded.

Because the Federal Raid wipes plots and bases every seven days, positions tied to land are also subject to that cycle. Kefir has not published how authority or jail time maps onto the ladder after a reset.
