Thanks for the info! That does help, but I still have more questions.

1. What's the level of gender equality? There's only one female up there in the higher ranks, and if she's teaching the noobs, she wouldn't see combat. I'm asking because I plan to play a female, and I want to know if her sex would hinder her or make her stand out more.

2. Are births and deaths tracked? In addition to that, is there some way that each citizen is identified?

3. I have an idea for a character who's the daughter of a military man and a civilian woman. Would her father have time to raise a child? Like, would he have time off to see her, and such? Or would he have to resign from his post to go live with his wife and new baby?
