Families
From Gangster Nation Guide
Mafia families are always loyal to each other, they will protect and help everyone in their family. Many families coordinate attacks on other families or players.

Family Info
In this section you can view all the current families, including their members, and create a family yourself. There can be a maximum of 10 families at any one time, so if you were looking to create one, you would have to wait until one broke apart or join a current family.
The financial value is a total amount of money in which all the members' cash is added up.
When you click on "More information and apply to join" you will be taken to the family's profile page, in which you will see a "splash image", the name of the Boss and the Right Hand Man. On this page you can also see how many members maximum the family can hold, which will help you in deciding which family to apply to. Along with this you can see all the members within the family.
Many families have "Family Tags" which are images representing which family a player belongs to, they are shown on the player's profile.
Starting a Family
Starting a family can potentially be very dangerous in the Gangster Nation world. If you do not run your family accordingly, you may become a target to other users, which can get you killed. You must always have a RHM (Right Hand Man) otherwise, if you die, the player who killed you will become the boss of your family.
To be able to start a family you must:
- Have $2,000,000 start-up money.
- Be at least level #8 (Car Thief).
- Have an account at least 6 days old.
Your Family
General
In the General section you can view who your family boss is, you can choose to leave (although you do have to pay a price), there is also a list of members on this page, showing their avatars.
For family bosses there is an area at the bottom in which you can pay 15 credits to change the name of your family.
Storage/Banking
This is where you can view, deposit and withdraw money and bullets into the family bank and storage. The family bank distributes a set percentage every day at 20:00 GMT, the Boss and/or RHM set the percentage to be distributed to it's members.
Only Higher Members, the Boss and the RHM can withdraw from the family bank. When you deposit money into the bank it must be a minimum of 25% of your total wealth (if you have $10,000,000 you must deposit a minimum of $2,500,000).
The amount of money you receive is dependant on your level, the higher your level, the more money you shall receive.
The bullet storage is a safe area in which members can deposit bullets and the family Boss or RHM can distribute them at any time. However, if the amount of bullets exceed the limit, they will be distributed automatically.
Underneath the family bank and bullet storage there is a list of previous transactions which shows the time, date, user and amount withdrawn or deposited.
Business
The Business section is where you can purchase or drop businesses that are linked to your family, when businesses payout the money will transfer into your family bank account, which can then be distributed automatically between players, every day at 20:00 GMT. When purchasing a business, the start-up cost comes from the family bank account.
For every member the family has, you can purchase 2 businesses.
Only Higher Members, the RHM and the Boss can purchase businesses. To be able to drop businesses you must be either the RHM or the Boss.
| Type | Start-up Cost | Daily Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Drinks Stall | $5,000 | $2,500 |
| Kebab Hut | $60,000 | $20,000 |
| Parking Lot | $100,000 | $25,000 |
| Restaurant | $250,000 | $50,000 |
| Football Team | $750,000 | $125,000 |
| Night Club | $1,250,000 | $200,000 |
| Record Label | $2,500,000 | $300,000 |
Members
This is, of course, where you can view all the family members and manage them. To invite to or kick from the family you must be a Higher Member+ in the family ranks.
This area shows who is active, who isn't active and how close people are to levelling up. If a player hasn't logged onto their account in 4 days the time frame on the list of members will show up red, and show how many days (and hours) they've been inactive for. This is a great way to manage your family and remove all the inactive members.
Events
The events section shows who has been invited to the family, who has been kicked from the family and who, in the family, has died. It also shows the daily payout and daily distribution to members.
Family Forums
- See also: Forums.
The family forums do everything that you see on the general forums, although they only show topics that people in your family have created. This can be anything to do with which family you are allies with and who your enemies are.
