| # | SOCIO-CULTURAL SYSTEM |
| 1. | Has the ability to assimilate the new territories into own homeland, as a rule, in regard to territories bordering with the old homeland and extended from its borders for any distance |
| 2. | Has the ability to generate complicated internal structure of own space, mainly in order to protect and defend itself from other SCS-s and as a response to respective demands from the outside. This ability expresses itself in creating internal buffer zones along the borders with other SCS-s |
| 3. | Possesses a complete cycle of the space socio-cultural assimilation. Researches reveal seven principal stages of socio-cultural evolution, and every stage may consist of a few particular phases |
| 4. | Inner logics always prevail over outer factors which are only used in case of strict correspondence with the SCS’s evolution internal order. Even successful external spatial expansions are always used for the own inner purposes |
| 5. | Possesses the ability to create enclaves within alien regions to transform and assimlate them socio-culturally |
| 6. | Has the ability to create naturally dependent vassals in a course of socio-cultural transformation of other territories |
| 7. | Able to conduct successive socio-cultural assimilation of alien population, by including it into own structure together with the new territories. This ability manifests itself during periods of creating the own homeland and internal buffer zones |
| 8. | Possesses the ability to generate migrations of population to socio-culturally transform alien territories into homelands, naturally dependent vassals and enclaves within internal buffer zones. In all the SCS-s, such migrations most often happen as a result of creating “end of the World” (mass starvation, civil wars, unstable state authorities) within traditional homelands |
| 9. | Always possesses own world religion or its own unique version |
| 10. | Able to propagate and diffuse own version of religion outside own socio-cultural formation for transformation of other territories. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS: it promotes own version of religion in a process of assimilation of alien territories and population |
| 11. | Able to widen a circulation of own language outside own homeland, and first of all - in the internal buffer zone and among the naturally dependent vassals. Such language begins being used as a daily means of communications that is an important element of the process of socio-cultural assimilation of territories and population |
| 12. | Economy is reliable and self-sufficient. It possesses considerable internal reserves, and contacts with other socio-cultural formations do not play determining role in its development, though these contacts are important for sovling internal socio-cultural problems such as the neighbouring territories’ transformation and competition with alien SCS-s |
| 13. | Possesses the ability to generate and invent stable original economic standards and forms which may have no analogues outside this particular SCS |
