Pure elite rule example with 63 senators (sub-optimal)
Note that this is just one example of how the ideal system might look like for some scenario. The actual ideal system will depend on the situation in the area that needs to be governed.
Citizen classes consist of a letter (A to F) and a number. The latter tells the citizen category while the number tells how many higher citizenship that exist of said category.
A The ruling elite
B successors
C citizens and legal residents
D people under custody
E free people with limited/no rights.
F people targeted by the police/military (such as people in criminal gangs).
63 senators will divide themselves into 7 smaller courts with 9 seats each.
Code:
seat0 seat1 seat2 seat3 seat4 seat5 seat6 seat7 seat8
court0 A0 A7 A14 A21 A28 A35 A42 A49 A56
court1 A1 A8 A15 A22 A29 A36 A43 A50 A57
court2 A2 A9 A16 A23 A30 A37 A44 A51 A58
court3 A3 A10 A17 A24 A31 A38 A45 A52 A59
court4 A4 A11 A18 A25 A32 A39 A46 A53 A60
court5 A5 A12 A19 A26 A33 A40 A47 A54 A61
court6 A6 A13 A20 A27 A34 A41 A48 A55 A62
Note that more than one senate court can try the same case, if they tnen do not arrive at the same conclusion a full senate vote will be held to determine the outcome.
Below that there are 9 senate courts 7 seats each where each senator can appeal the decision to the 9-seat senate oourt they belong to.
Code:
seat0 seat1 seat2 seat3 seat4 seat5 seat6
court7 A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6
court8 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12 A13
court9 A14 A15 A16 A17 A18 A19 A20
court10 A21 A22 A23 A24 A25 A26 A27
court11 A28 A29 A30 A31 A32 A33 A34
court12 A35 A36 A37 A38 A39 A40 A41
court13 A42 A43 A44 A45 A46 A47 A48
court14 A49 A50 A51 A52 A53 A54 A55
court15 A56 A57 A58 A59 A60 A61 A62
Here again more than one court can try the same case but here the order actually matters since the court highest on the list will prevail if it no appeal is granted.
If only one senator want's to serve directly during the trail said senator will be the judge with successors to 6 other senators being jury members. You can for example have something like the following (or just let each senator decide who is going to participate by a case by case basis).
You can also use a matrix such as the following to determine which successor will serve at which court
Code:
0 1 3 2 6 5 4
1 0 2 6 4 3 5
2 3 0 1 5 4 6
3 4 5 0 1 6 2
4 6 1 5 0 2 3
5 2 6 4 3 0 1
6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Which would give:
Code:

Holding multiple B-citizenships
It's possible for a single individual to be a successor to more than one senator but you can then still only take one senate seat with the other seat, thus there are theoretical scenarios where a B-citizen will have more than one empty senate seat to choice from, then the seats not taken will be offered to the second successors instead.
You can still vote to change the b-citizens if a senate seat is empty but then for the vote to pass you need to have it pass with a big enough margin such that it would have passed if all those empthy seats would have been populated with people voting no.
An A-citizen can also hold one or more B-citizenships but then in order to actually replace a senator they will need to abandon their current senator seat.
C0 citizens
Only C0 citizens are eligible for the highest levels of service such as being appointer as a successor/servant to a senator.
In total 9999 people or less will have C0 or higher.
People with C0 or higher can be selected to vote on important matters but this will only be votes that are not urgent. In cases where a quick decision is needed only A-citizens will vote since only A citizens will be expected to sleep on different times to ensure that a majority will always be awake to be able to instantly make a decision.
Most/all people promoted to C0 will have had a C1 citizenship before that.
Can appeal decisions in courts that have less than 5 members with C0/higher.
C1 citizens
Up to 999999 people can have a C1 citizenship or higher.
There will be some referendums where people with C1 or higher will be allowed to participate.
Some positions of authority will require C1 or higher (such as to be an imperial judge).
Can appeal decisions in courts that have less than 5 members with C1/higher.
C2 citizens
Approved by court (5+ or C1/higher) for possessing heavy weapons.
There will be some referendums where people with C2 or higher will be allowed to participate.
C3 citizens
Approved for possessing light weapons.
There will be some referendums where people with C3 or higher will be allowed to participate.
C4 citizens
Given by default to people where both parents are C4 or higher. It's also much easier to acquire than C3 or higher, especially if one of the parents have C4 citizenship.
There will be some referendums where people with C4 or higher will be allowed to participate.
C5 residents
When there are multiple countries left this will be used to denote people merely being allowed within the country, later it will allow access inside cities and other areas important to secure. Does not need to pay a fee to maintain those rights.
C6 residents
Temporary allowed within the country (when there are more than one) or areas important to secure (such as cities).
Humans under custody of others
D 'citizenship' means that you are under guardianship of someone else.
D0: very high-value child/teen under guardianship/custody of C0/higher. Will instead be given C2 citizenship at 16
D1: high-value child/teen under guardianship/custody of C1/higher. Will instead be given C3 citizenship at 16.
D2: high-value individual reduced to property of C0 or higher for an indefinite period of time.
D3: valuable individual reduced to property of C1 or higher for an indefinite period of time.
D4: individual (such as a child) where C4 or higher have custody. Will instead be given C4 citizenship at 16.
D5: slave/child you are not allowed to injure (minor punishments allowed).
D6: slave not allowed to be killed or seriously injure (loss of limb, brain-damage, sterilized, etc).
D7: slave you are not allowed to kill or give serious brain-damage.
D8: slave with no rights.
D0 and D1 individuals who cannot meet the standard at 16 will have their citizenship downgraded. The D0 and D1 'citizenships' are exclusive to people younger than 16. A lot of resources will be invested into training D0 and D1 teens/children while they are young and can learn easily.
By default biological children of C0/higher will get D0 'citizenships' but D0 citizenships, teends/children under 16 who are not children to C0/higher can still be given D0 citizenship via court approval by request of C0/higher.
By default biological children of C1/higher will get D1 'citizenships' but D1 citizenships, teends/children under 16 who are not children to C1/higher can still be given D1 citizenship via court approval by request of C1/higher.
People with D2 or D3 citizenship can be freed by the people who own them as custody at any time to be given C4 citizenship. Freeing them to get higher than C4 does however require court or senate approval.
People can be under the custody of more than one individual, for D0 'citizens' all individuals who share custody needs to be C0 or higher.
Free people with less/no rights
People with reduced legal protections are given E 'citizenships' while military targets (people we are trying to get rid off or capture) are given F 'citizenship.
