Families

A Young Family can be founded at Gangster: up to 10 members (a Boss, 3 Lieutenants, 6 Soldiers). An Established Family needs a Boss-rank founder and one of only ten Family seats; up to 20 members in layers Boss → Council → Lieutenants → Soldiers, with a weekly graft payment from the Family Treasury. The Boss names a successor; an Established Family whose Boss dies without one drops back to a Young Family.

The Family Treasury takes donations and 10% of members’ earnings; $75,000,000 is always protected, and a wipe loots 10% of the rest to the shooter. Layers are the war rule: you cannot whack someone in a higher layer until half the layer below is dead — trying backfires instantly. The Family Estate holds the Gymnasium (shorter workouts), the Range (free practice) and the Doctor (twice the hospital speed). Three-week revenue scoring crowns the Leading Families.
