The premise behind a nationwide social rating system itself is relatively simple: every citizen receives a certain score to start, and certain actions either lower or increase your score. For example, donating to charity would increase your score, while buying cigarettes would lower it. People can then either be rewarded or punished based on their rating. The government, for example, could restrict a person’s travel, prevent them from entering the best universities, or even take their dog away if their score drops low enough.
