The central story focuses on a society only know as "The State." Everything is decided by the State. Everyone has a Civil Duty to the State.
Long story short, the society is divided up into four 'parts' - the rich, middle class, low class, and vermin (aka individuals who have ignored their Civil Duty.) The State is literally divided among the classes as it shows favoritism towards the wealthy. I am trying to think up names for the parts. Here's what I have so far:
Archtown - the wealthy
Meztown - the middle class (mez is from the word mezzo which means middle or half)
Basetown - low class (base as in foundation and morally low)
??? - the vermin
What to call where the vermin live gives me the greatest trouble. Vermin are not seen as people and they do not have land to themselves. The MC is among these people so it's important to have a decent name. Please note that this place is not official in the eyes of the people. Also, most vermin lack extensive education so it has to be simple and easy to remember.
Any and all advice would be awesome.
