Merchantry – Family becomes Nobility if it has 3 level 10 businesses. Nobility is granted to the next generation. A male merchant becomes a Peasant if he moves out of his parents home and has less then 10k to his name.

Peasantry – Becomes Merchantry if it has a level 10 business, Merchantry is granted to the next generation.
