Sidenote: by the way, if you take enculturation and socialisation into account, it is more normal for the son of an aristocrat than for that of a farmer, to get into the higher echelons of any organisation simply because of the way that they are raised. Agreed no part of the Imperium is a pure meritocracy - but have you noticed the number of aristocrats in powerful positions in the British government lately? Here in the states a rich, powerful family tends to last two or three generations tops before the wealth and power are frittered away of simply subdivided into tiny portions between the descendants. See Rockefellers, Kennedys etc.
