----Back Story----
The nation of Gaurdiani Di Anima (Gaurdians of blood/spirit) was born from the spralling ruins of the Roman empire. Created because of the Romans switch to christianity, the nation was then called Old Rome indicating that they veiwed themselves as the more original in thinking.
The small nation bided its time, growing little and not making much of an impresion on the world around it, finaly emergeing spectacularily in the space age. Gaurdiani Di Anima made stunning discoveries in the areas of life support and blood, finding that a daily shower of blood was cleaner than plain soap and water and that, when all three are combined, the life of a person was increased a small percentage, but enough to make a diference.
It was from this discovery and others about blood, that the Holy Church of Gaurdiani Di Anima was created. As the church grew it gained more power eventually forming its own militia. The name change came when a senate member, who openly stated his 'faith' in anima, was elected to power by other, more secretive members of the then considered cult. A small uproar occurred after the election brought on by a senate decision to change the nations name from Old Rome to Gaurdiani Di Anima along with the decision to make the Holy Church of Gaurdiani Di Anima the official church of the nation. These rulings soon brought more open confessions of faith in the Anima, totaling to more than 60% of the senate.
As time progressed so did the number of members of the church, some by there own ambitions others by new laws giving benefits to members increasing the number of poor in the church when it had before been only membered by those higher up in society. This increase brought the development of tiers in the church, five total, the lowest getting the most help while the higher up had better services (parties, nicer temples, better paid practitioners.) The tiers are separated greatly with one tier not allowed to mingle with another. (IE: marriage. working with another tier was allowed though didn't often happen because of resentment.)
With these rules came gangs among the tiers, most rivalries only produced vandalism and theft but some escalated to violence. The most infamous of these violent acts was city wide war between two tiers. Because even the police were divided by the tiers, the Church's militia was called in to break up the fighting. The entire thing lasted two weeks and was only ended when the militia's leader, Charles Lorse, made a controversial decision to take out both leaders of the gangs on the same day. The assaults were successful and the seconds in command agreed to a peace treaty. It was discovered afterward that the war was actually a well choreographed plan to get rid of the tier system, which ultimately failed.
As man started living in space indefinitely, Gaurdiani Di Anima saw a way to create a home where they would not be scapegoat by all other nations on earth. Most other people on their world considered them barbaric, which stunted the growth of the nation. Many of the nation’s finest uomo dello spazio (astronaut) went to other nations to work in their space programs in an attempt to find a planet for their nation.

The tiers are separated greatly with one tier not allowed to mingle with another. (IE: marriage. working with another tier was allowed though didn't often happen.
1st tier- This tier is made up of only 2 people; the current Prime Minister and the Current Emperor.
2nd tier- Reserved for members of the senate and the upper class.
3rd tier- The Middle class, those of average income.
4th tier- The lower class, they can still get by but living is hard. Most are in great debt.
5th tier- The homeless, those with no normal home, usually living on the street or in shelters.
First they believe that all are born clean but upon entering this world they become unclean.
Second they believe that only through the washing with blood might you become clean,(they use the finest blood from the best lambs) only then would people be considered clean enough to show themselves in public.
