The Sea Elves welcome their fellow elves even if the bloodline is just a little.

Wealth Classes

The more money, the more power you have, with the middle class being able to vote. Though the more wealthy can sway votes with bribery, the way to survive in this city is with money, so the poor are next to nonexistent due to them not able to pay for their weight. They usually get thrown out, but on rare occasions, they get purged.

Taxation isn't that worrying since the majority of government funding is "donated" by those in power. Laws are lax since everyone wants to make the most money as they possibly can, though killers are not tolerated.
