Each Group is graded by the state for closeness of relationships between its members, and required to achieve a grade of 5 out of 10. A high grade here means a large amount of interaction between people in the Group, not that Groups members like one-another. The professional relationship between each member and each other member is given a mark out of 6, and their personal relationship is given a mark out of 4. These marks are added together to give a mark out of 10 for each relationship in the Group. For example, if two people in the same Group work at opposite ends of a factory and occasionally chat at after-work drinks, they might get 3 out of 6 for their work relationship and 2 out of 4 for their professional relationship, which combine to give a total of 5 out of 10. The average grade for relationships in the Group gives the Group its grade.

Each Group has a limit on how many hours its members are allowed to work with members of other Groups. This limit is set at 5 hours multiplied by the number of members in the Group.

Each Group decides for itself how to distribute its money and resources to people within it. A Group may choose to be egalitarian, inegalitarian, or anything in between. It may also do all, some, or none of its consumption collectively. If it does all, it will be like a communist collective, with no individual money or income. (The behaviour of small hunter-gatherer tribes such as the !Kung in Africa suggests that Groups will be egalitarian, although this is not guaranteed, as hunter-gatherer circumstances are very different from that of Groups, for example Groups will not be so kin-related or geographically distant from other Groups.)

Each Group decides for itself how to distribute its money and resources to people within it, as well as jobs, powers etc. However, If a state enquiry finds that the Group is not highly egalitarian internally in both power and satisfaction, orders designed to rectify this situation will be issued to the Group. Such an enquiry can be launched at the behest of a single member. (The behaviour of small hunter-gatherer tribes such as the !Kung in Africa suggests that Groups won’t need such state interference to make them egalitarian, although this is not guaranteed, as hunter-gatherer circumstances are very different from that of Groups, for example Groups will not be so kin-related or geographically distant from other Groups.)

Some Groups will work as part of an agency called Equality Regulation. This agency will inspect all Groups periodically. If a Group is found to be above the standard level in terms of Political Power it will be forced to yield powers to other Groups. If it is found to be above the standard level in terms of Satisfaction it will have its pay reduced.

A Group that is too satisfying will usually be detectable from the fact that its membership increases over time, though Equality Regulation will also have the power to inspect and interview Group members.
