The ranks are all based on the army which is why you will see some of the ranks described as "highest in the Army." Do not be confused and think that the alliance is a great war machine. That is not the case.

The ranks are grouped in the following classes:
the Elite
Legionnaires
Generals
Officers
the Army
Training Corps

While "the Army" is a class, it is also used in the chart to refer to all groups except the Legionnaires and the Elite.

Note that the roles of Diplomat, Security Officer, Admiral, Recruitment Officer, and Deputy Leader all have rank requirements. This is simply to insure that people in these positions are experienced enough and know enough about the game to fulfill these roles' obligations properly. Leader and Home Secretary aren't mentioned because they are already filled positions that are unlikely to have any vacancies. The General of the Army ('General' in game) really should only be filled by Generals, but the assignment of that position is at the Leader's discretion and can so the people who fill it may not have reached General positions yet.
