PD: Nova Ending

The Novas have won. Caerulelimo's citizenry has surrendered, submitting themselves to new rulers, and new masters. ..and the locals couldn't be happier.

Nova Ranking System
New Nova society works on a strict, but highly-mobile hierarchy; doms at the top, subs at the bottom.. mostly. Nova ranking primarily determines the exact nature of consent; lower ranks are considered to automatically consent to a higher ranker's wishes, unless said wishes conflict with the submissive party's publicly-known desires, or spoken word at the time. Additionally, higher ranks need not answer to anything a lower rank says aside from any revoking of consent, while lower ranks must submit to their masters' demands.

Ranking works on two factors; first is a descending numerical system, in which rank 0 is the highest rank, 8 the lowest; and second, a tiebreaker "dom/switch/sub" suffix, along with all secondary benefits assigned to the rank; dom as the highest tiebreaker, and sub the lowest. For example; a rank 7-sub individual, such as Stinger, holds power over an 8-dom; that is, the 7-sub doesn't need to listen to the 8-dom's wishes except for cases of revoking consent. A 4-sub individual, like Tenkomaka, then holds power over this 7-sub; and lastly, a 4-dom or 4-switch individual, such as Altis, holds power over this 4-sub.

Rank 0 is reserved solely for Nova leadership; it is impossible to obtain a rank above it.

Opt-Out
The Novas planned that some of the conquered population would find the new ranking system a massive disruption to their lives, a change they would not be willing to stick with. For this, an opt-out method was designed; Any individual may, at any time and for any reason, request to change their rank to X-none; by doing this, all Nova-specific laws on consent as established above no longer apply to the individual. Doms, switches, and subs of any rank must ask or otherwise establish firm consent prior to intercourse, and vice-versa for an X-none interacting with any ranked individual. Essentially, an X-none's consent functions exactly as it has done historically for Caerulelimo, as if the Novas had never appeared at all.
