France had 3 estates, The Nobles, The Clergy, and the Everyone Else. Another two got added by political theory people over time. Number 4 is the journalists. Number 5 is the alt journalists.

Is there a sixth? And please don't say alt alt journalists, because that would be very disappointing.

Indeed, and this estate makes its will known through representatives called "Estate Agents"

Are they even real?

Interesting, I had never heard of this! That explains that show "The Fifth Estate". I'll have to read up on this a bit, seems like useful knowledge.
