Factions represent groups of characters with roughly the same ideology and worldview. Factions contain characters.

Each faction carries the following information with itself:

1. a list of members
2. disposition towards the player character group on a scale of -100 to 100
3. disposition towards other factions (if not defined, considered 0)

Locations and items can be defined as faction-owned, which has an impact on crime propagation and safety of the area.
