Editing Briefing Page-Escape From New York (section)

====Noble Caste==== 
In the early days of the prison a man of unknown history assembled a great deal of power in the form of a source of gasoline, electricity, food, and luxury items.   How he came by was unknown for many years but his supply chain was secure enough that he became known as the Duke of New York.  His main underlings Were called Counts, and the lower ones barons.  These individuals used the trade goods to secure the loyalty of underlings and to seize territory in the form of buildings.  The structure was sufficiently established that after the 1997 Presidential Incident occurred the surviving counts were able to vie for the title Duke and control of the inflow of goods.

In 2020  Insurgent Team 38 discovered a defunct subway line from the early 1900s that had been sealed off and used to reach New Jersey.   This ended the flow of goods to the Duke of New York.  By then other sources of goods had been developed and the Nobles held control over many parts of the city.
