Very Bussan? I don't get it.
Also, the clan list, as I recall, each clan had several 'jobs' listed, with a great deal of overlap between clans. As for agriculture there was a line in there, not in the clan descriptions themselves, about the fact the 85% of the population is involved with agriculture and that 'the vast majority' of clans have significant agricultural holdings. I have no problem with the first number, a likely proportion given the technology base, and a shocking lack of agricultural spells listed. It's the vast majority bit.
Also, consider this. According to my text, no member of the clan is required to work in the clan's industries, or for the clan at all. So, if the clan's industry sucks (say, sewage mainanence, just for kicks...) they could have a very hard time getting bodies for that job.
I can't really argue details much, given that I lack the resources to fully understand the 'way it's supposed to work', I only have the one book, you know, the one I reviewed.
