Yes, that's the Perfect Republic set forth by Malkioni's Laws. Each has their place, each has their role, and each contributes the working of the public good. Wonderful isn't it?

Look at Safelster for the rewards of such barbarism. The rulers there are so degenerate they no longer follow Malkion's laws, the murder each other with abandon, they offer sacrifices to Erasanchula and Arkat, they fornicate with beasts, marry their sisters, and consort with monsters.
