This city-state consists of a middle class group of individuals. The community does not consist of wealthy nor poor citizens; the people of the community have equal amounts of money. The middle class in Athens had a large number of non-citizens. The free men (non-slaves), though ineligible for citizenship, had spent their life in Eliacmeans. They were mostly military men, except for the few that made up the government. The non-citizens were forbidden to own land, or marry into a family of a citizen. Creating such a law allowed the citizens to buy land at a cheaper price, because outside competition for the land was eliminated. This working class made sure that the military was well founded. The population ranges from 100,000 to 110,000 women and children, who were in charge of foreign affairs. More information about foreign affairs can be found in the tab "Foreign Affairs". Not only were the women in charge of foreign affairs, but they were in charge of shops inside of the city. In addition, women harvested olives in the mountainest terrain for trading purposes. There were 40,000 men, who mostly were in the military to defend the city-state. Additionally, Eliacmeans had roughly 60,000 slaves working on domestic affairs. You can learn more about domestic affairs at the tab on the top that says "Domestic Affairs". Men were more superior to both women, and children. Gender in Eliacmeans was a key part of their culture because gender seperated the tasks that needed to be accomplished in the city-state.
