{{main|Dignida|Dignida Scoring System}}
Lucrecian society places heavy emphasis on prestige and overall trustworthiness, much like the concept of dignitas in Caphiria. Unlike in Caphiria however, Lucrecian diginitas is entirely based on one's achievements rather than a combination of birthright and achievements like in the former. Although once a status that had no exact numerical value placed upon it, with the advent of computers in the 1980s there emerged a numerical scoring system that quantifies one's current dignitas. Called the [[Dignitas Scoring System]], it is a national {{wp|credit rating}} that has been developed by the Curia since 1987, complete with a {{wp|whitelist|purplelist}} (purple being deemed the colour of high prestige in Lucrecia) and a {{wp|blacklist}}. The idea behind the Dignitas Score is to encourage government institutions, citizens, and businesses to strive towards good deeds and achievements. Being on the purplelist is said to net certain privileges to those who are on it, mostly favourable discounts in public transport and parking, an easier time navigating through the highly complex government bureaucracy, and even favourable interest rates from banking institutions; purplelisted businesses are also much less likely to be inspected beyond the absolute mandated minimum set by the Curia so that regulators may focus on investigating businesses that are not purplelisted.
