Upper class
The Vashnu class is the upper class of Danubia Prime, just below the ruling Vinda class in the caste system. They hold significant power and privilege in the society, but not to the same extent as the Vinda members. They have access to good education, employment opportunities, healthcare, and housing, and their religious and legal rights are respected. They may only marry within their own class and may not be subject to the same restrictions on their clothing choices as the lower classes. Their status is hereditary, and their children inherit their privileges and position in society.
Politics:
The Vashnu members have access to high-ranking government positions, but not to the same extent as the Vinda members. They may participate in the government and have their political needs and interests represented, but their influence may not be as significant.
Property:
The Vashnu members may own significant properties and land, but not to the same extent as the Vinda members. They may own luxurious properties and vacation homes, but they may not have access to the same resources as the Vinda members.
Education:

Employment:

Religion:
The Vashnu and Vinda classes are both allowed to practice the official religion of Danubia Prime (The Church of the Six Gods) and have full access to religious activities and positions of power within the religious hierarchy. They are allowed to participate in the highest religious ceremonies and hold the highest positions of authority within the religious institutions. This law is meant to reinforce the social and cultural divide between the upper castes and the lower castes and to maintain the traditional power structures. The Vashnu and Vinda are viewed as the most important members of society, and their participation in religious activities is seen as essential for the well-being of the entire community. While the Vashnu and Vinda have more freedom and power in religious matters, they are also held to higher standards of conduct and are expected to set an example for the lower castes to follow.
