Political Structure: |
Ferengi culture is entirely based on capitalism. Social standings, military ranks, and political status are determined by wealth and the influence it can buy |
The Grand Nagus, one of their most powerful leaders, is also identified as the Ferengi master of commerce. The Nagus has extreme power over Ferengi business, controlling the status of trade territories and other commercial opportunities. |

The Nagus is often identified as the Ferengi master of commerce. He wields extreme power over Ferengi business, controlling the status of trade territories and other commercial opportunities. The first Grand Nagus was named Glint. He committed the first Rules of Acquisition to parchment and labeled it number 162, as a marketing ploy to increase the value of the first 161 |

Other leaders are in place because of their wealth rather than achievements, even the DaiMons, who are the equivalent to Starship captains |

The Ferengi live by a strict code of honor, though its ethics might be questionable from many other races' point of view. These guidelines are laid out in the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. Its words are memorized by Ferengi children, who are expected to repeat them on command |
The Rules of Acquisition consist of the 285 guiding principles that form the basis of Ferengi business philosophy - a philosophy that has enabled the Ferengi people to become the most successful entrepreneurs in the galaxy, Although they appear simple, Ferengi business scholars have been interpreting and debating the rules for thousands of years. Every Ferengi business transaction is governed by the Rules of Acquisition, to ensure a fair and honest deal for all parties concerned. |

Life After Death: |
Ferengi death rituals strictly prohibit autopsies. The Ferengi believe one of two things happen to them when they die. They hope to go to the Divine Treasury, which is made of pure latinum, where the Blessed Executor and Celestial Auctioneers let them bib on their new life. But if they die before turning a profit in their business, they go to the Vault of Eternal Destitution |
