Cassia keeps her great grandmothers compact with two poems hidden in it. The citizens are allowed to keep one "artifact" of their ancestors and this is the only significance of individuality the people are allowed to have.
Xander's artifact is the cufflinks from his grandfather. He wore these to the matched ceremony.
The government in the Provinces is very controlling.
Cassia and the rest of the citizens are supplied with three pills that they carry at all times.
The green pills calm you down.The blue pills keep you alive without food and water for 3 days. The red pills modify your memory so that disturbing occurrences can be forgotten.
On the day of the matched banquet the people to be matched are given a feast.
Cassia has green eyes. This is significant because most people in her province are blue eyed. She is unique.
The citizens of the provinces live in a bubble because they are protected from anything harmful.
The technology in the society is very advanced and is continually advancing.
