To:E. Initial Distribution
1. The initial issue of currency at the launch of this new economic system shall be as follows:
a) 500 erb to The Household Account
b) 400 erb to The Steward
c) 200 erb to each Duke
d) 100 erb to each Baron
e) 50 erb to each standing citizen and each new citizen who did not qualify among those listed above in the original issue.
F. Distribution and Citizenship
1. A citizen who revokes their citizenship or is declared legally dead by The Kaiser or by Act of Landsraad will have their account revoked, and the balance returned to The Crown Account. Any individual who had once held citizenship in The Imperial Republic Of Shireroth who then renounced their citizenship and has again applied for citizenship shall not be issued the initial allotment of currency as stated in Article 5 e). A citizen who achieves a higher status within the hierarchy of The Imperial Republic Of Shireroth (as stated in Article 5 of this Law) shall be issued an allotment of currency according to their new rank. If that citizen then revokes their rank and is reinstated to that rank, they will not receive an additional allotment of currency.
Changes: This section was arranged as an Imperial Decree giving the money before, so I changed it to a Lawbook section declaring how money should be given.E. Distribution of Money
1. All new citizens shall receive 50 erb upon joining Shireroth.
2. Any citizen who achieves a higher status within the hierarchy of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth shall be issued a congratulatory gift of money from the Imperial Crown according to his or her new rank, as follows:
a. A commoner becoming a Baron will receive 50 erb.
b. A commoner or Baron becoming a Duke will receive 100 erb.
c. A commoner, Baron, or Duke becoming the Kaiser will receive 300 erb.
3. Any uncollected gifts may be collected at any time by making a request to the Ministry of Trade. For example, a person who is now a Duke and was once a Baron who has never received money may make a request for a gift of 200 erb: 50 for citizenship, 50 for the Baronial title, and 50 for the Ducal title.
F. Fraud
1. Any attempt to exploit the economic system of Shireroth in a way deliberately contrary to the intention of its framers shall be known as fraud.
2. Fraud is a crime in the Imperial Republic of Shireroth.
3. The following actions are examples of fraud:
a. Transferring a noble title with the sole intent to benefit economically from the Crown's gift to new title-holders.
b. Joining or enticing other immigrants to join Shireroth with no intention of staying, with the intent to benefit economically from the Crown's gift to new immigrants.
4. The Ministry of Trade may declare any application or transaction to be fraud, and may cancel the transaction.
5. The Iudex may declare any application or transaction to be fraud, and may cancel the transaction and, in cases where there was clear criminal intent, sentence the offenders. These sentences may include fines, demotions, bannings, or whatever else the Iudex considers necessary.
I changed the amounts of money around to make sure that the amount previously gained was taken into account (a Duke during the reign of Kaiser Hesan would only have received 200 total, so a new citizen who becomes Duke should not receive 50 for citizenship, 100 for Baron, and then 200 for Duke, he should receive a total of 200).
I changed the separation between sections; instead of the decree plus commentary, it's now the distribution rules plus fraud. I added some new sections about what fraud is and what to do about it.
I removed the rule that old citizens re-immigrating don't get any money, because if someone left Shireroth in 2002 or 2003 and is coming back now, I don't think they deserve to be penalized. There's no incentive to just keep quitting and joining again and again, because your old account gets dissolved each time you leave, and F-3-b prohibits trying to make money by shady plots involving immigration.
I corrected some grammar, like singular "they". That really bothers me.
