Companies engaging in international trade are forbidden to exchange erb with a foreign currency, or give erb to non-citizens of The Imperial Republic Of Shireroth unless otherwise stated by The Kaiser or by Act of Landsraad.

I think most of the deletions are pretty self explanatory. There is no reason to have LawBook rules that place unenforcable restrictions on the Kaiser, there is also no need to say that the Landsraad "may enact further rules" since that is also pretty obvious. I've also added some repetitions, especially in the Economy section, for deletion.

There is also no need to worry. I do not intend to grab money or anything, I am merely going to move some of the economical restrictions on the Kaiser to the DecreeBook where they will actually be binding instead of pointless.
