'''CivSpheres''' are modular, vertically arranged living blocks that dominate Neo-Europa’s urban sprawl. Each is a micro-city governed by AI-assisted resource allocation, surveillance protocols, and social engineering. While most citizens reside in CivSpheres, the type of sphere they are assigned to reveals their position in the [[Ladder Points]] hierarchy.

== Overview ==
CivSpheres are categorized into five primary types based on civic class, permissions, and amenities. Movement between types is permitted only through Ladder ascent, corporate sponsorship, or illegal bypass.

|-
|'''Type-A: Gilded Arcologies'''

|-
|'''Type-B: Executive Blocks'''
|Upper-middle-class spheres for high-performing guild leaders, specialists, or influencers.
|Top Ladder citizens, licensed Spacers, cosmetic surgeons
|Concierge drones, silent elevators, Veil sanctums

|Civil workers, educators, junior Spacers
|Public transport nodes, ramen stair-bars, modular apartments
|-
|'''Type-D: Compressed Commons'''
|Crowded but regulated zones with basic amenities.
|Lower Ladder citizens, ex-spacers, med-ineligible
|Shared sanitation, drone-enforced curfew, vertical day-schools
|-
|'''Type-E: Fractured Spheres'''
|Partially abandoned, glitch-ridden, or gang-controlled spheres.
|Nulls, Royalists, bootleggers, unranked youth
|Blackout zones, AI rot, street-run guild hubs

== Sphere Characteristics ==

; '''Modularity'''
: CivSpheres are designed with adaptable infrastructure — sleeping quarters can be retracted or collapsed for crowd surges, and common areas re-coded overnight based on activity algorithms.

; '''Neuro-Link Enforcement'''
: Each CivSphere type enforces a different level of neural access, surveillance intensity, and content permissions within Cypherspace.

; '''Drip Zones'''
: Areas where ladder-enhancing content (like education feeds or skill games) are freely available — or deliberately throttled — depending on sphere rating.

== Movement Between Spheres ==
Ascending from one sphere type to another usually requires:

* Sustained Ladder Point growth
* Sponsorship by a Family, Guild, or Corporation
* “Vertical Inheritance” — a legal, generational Ladder transfer
* Illegal relocation, often through ID forgery or neural ghosting

== Cultural Notes ==

* Type-D Spheres host most underground music studios, mid-tier guild HQs, and bootleg art circles.
* Type-E Spheres are zones of contested governance — patched together by gang control, folklore-driven justice, or outlawed Chapel Nodes.
* Type-A and B residents often believe the lower types don’t truly “exist,” except as filtered Veil propaganda or simulations.
