Samarkainian Taxonomic Classification (STC) or Samarkainian Biological Classification System (SBC) is a method used to categorize organisms by biological type. Earlier classifications were based on physical characteristics shared between organisms and by principle of common descent. However, lately the classifications are being revised to improve the accuracy of classes according to DNA sequences.

STC is primarily used in Samarkainia a where it's used alongside ISIC with the STC is for internal use. Some other countries also decided to use STC as their internal taxonomic classification system.

Difference between the STC and ISIC: the first system is based on organism's evolution and relation to other organisms while the second system describes animals.

The classification uses a dead language Vateno once spoken on Samarkainian Islands.

Taxonomic ranks

There are 8 major taxonomic ranks used in the SCT, with several sub-ranks.

The ranks going from the highest to the lowest are: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. There are several super- and sub-ranks.

v • d • e Taxonomic ranks
				Magnorder
Domain/Superkingdom	Superphylum/Superdivision	Superclass		Superorder	Superfamily			Superspecies
Kingdom	Phylum/Division	Class	Legion	Order	Family	Tribe	Genus	Species
Subkingdom	Subphylum	Subclass	Cohort	Suborder	Subfamily	Subtribe	Subgenus	Subspecies
Infrakingdom/Branch	Infraphylum	Infraclass		Infraorder		Alliance	Section	Infraspecies
	Microphylum	Parvclass		Parvorder

All ranks

There is an indeterminate number of ranks, as a taxonomist may invent a new rank at will, at any time, if he or she feels this is necessary. In doing so, there are some restrictions, which will vary with the Nomenclature Code which applies.

The following is an artificial synthesis, solely for purposes of demonstration of relative rank (but see notes), from most general to most specific:

• Domain or Empire
  • Kingdom
    • Subkingdom
      • Branch
        • Infrakingdom

    • Subspecies (or Forma Specialis for fungi, or Variety for bacteria)
      • Variety (botany) or Form/Morph (zoology)
        • Subvariety (botany)
          • Form (botany)
            • Subform (botany)

Of these many ranks, the most basic is species. However, this is not to say that a taxon at any other rank may not be sharply defined, or that any species is guaranteed to be sharply defined. It varies from case to case. Ideally, nowadays, a taxon is intended to represent the phylogeny of the organisms under discussion, but in itself this is not a requirement.
