[Jadie of Goldshire]

Thank you Austi..I have posted Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

You're welcome and thank you.Are you Nobility? - Where and what title?Thanks

[Jadie of Goldshire]

I am still Duchess of Goldshire *looks at title* Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

Jadie,May this thread be moved to Goldshire where you and Ministry of Trade can use it to communicate on the economy and those issue that affect you?Austi

[Jadie of Goldshire]

I will do that *moves thread* Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

Jadie,In your title is "Steward of Shireroth" What is this position and where does this work take place? Is it in the Landsraad? ... I need to know this in order to incorportate it into the economics - so you might get paid for being Steward of Shireroth.Also, who lives in this Duchy and in what Baronies?- Who are Barons and Baronesses?You may collect a tax from Barons and Baronesses if they have a bank account. Please let me know what percentage of tax you want collected from your Barons and Baronesses.Austi

[Jadie of Goldshire]

I don't wish to take any taxes from my baroness.Steward of Shireroth is "second in command" I guess you could say. If our Kaiser goes on vacation it leaves me in charge of Shireroth. So I guess I work directly for the Shirithian gov't.As for my citizens. I have Solitary Poet, Angellene in Goldshire itself. Then in Lunaris (my barony) I have Eriana Moon who is the baroness....Snypir Deadeye,...and I believe those are the "active citizens" that I have.

[Austi Scot]

Thanks Jadie,Do you wish to have any taxes collected from your subjects you don't live in Barony?Austi

[Jadie of Goldshire]

No thanks Thanks for all the hard work you are investing in the economy Austi Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

Thanks for the recognition – not that I’m looking for it, but thanks.By not collecting a Nobility Tax you are defeating the Feudal government system. … but then I’m not entirely sure that any of your subjects are involved in the economy right now.Perhaps other Duchies will collect a Nobility Tax and your stance of not collecting a Nobility Tax will entice others to move here – I suppose all that is yet to be seen.Maybe all the Duchies will rebel against the Feudal government system and not collect a Nobility Tax. I suppose that matter is for the government – there shall be no Nobility Tax collected for you unless you reverse your orders.May I post encouragements to join the economy in your Duchy to those who live here?Austi

[Jadie of Goldshire]

you may post such encouragements if you deem it necessary. and the reason for not collecting a nobility tax..I believe i have enough funds for what I need in my humble abode of Goldshire. Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

but taking over the world costs alot of money! "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[Jadie of Goldshire]

But David...I don't wish to take over the world. Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[david northworthy beckfor]

why not? "Disclaimer: Whatever is in the above post is probably a result of my blind following of Kieran Bennett, because I have even less of a brain than Kieran. Don't even get me started on my lack of independent thought."

[Shasta Rana Wanderlust]

She has low goals. Remember, my child, without innocence, the cross is only iron, hope is only an illusion, and you're nothing but a name.

[Jadie of Goldshire]

Not necessarily low goals...but maybe I have accomplished my goals already. Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

If you think you have taken over the whole world you should really live in my Barony in The Great Forest of Kildare - the Barony of Hallucination.

[Jadie of Goldshire]

I don't think that I have conquered the world....however I feel that I am a well respected individual among Shireroth and that is all that matters to me (micronationally) Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

You are indeed well respected - but you should, IMHO, charge a Nobility Tax.

[Austi Scot]

You are encouraged by MiniTrade to establish a tax system.Austi Scot

[Ruhan Zarathustra Erudinz]

Maybe you should make a tax system.How about..Pointless Tax of DOOOOOOOM!.05% of all income made by all persons!.5% of income from businesses.How about that?! "Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus"

[Jadie of Goldshire]

Um..I was thinking like.....1% for citizens and 2% for businesses. Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Ruhan Zarathustra Erudinz]

Yes, but my method is even /more/ pointless! MWUAHAHA! "Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus"

[Jadie of Goldshire]

Um...okay?Does it really matter if it has a point or not? Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Ruhan Zarathustra Erudinz]

Yes! "Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus"

[Jadie of Goldshire]

bah! I don't see why..I really don't... Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.

[Austi Scot]

... why.. why... why, you ask!... because Shireroth is a feudal society. Therefore, in order to have a tax system that is feudal it is necessary that the Nobles establish a tax system withing their lands.The Imperial government will then only tax the Duchy. You might need to adjust your rates once that happens. Anyways, the step Shireroth is in now is attempting to get all Nobles to establish a tax system within their own lands. When that is complete I can will release the Imperial government tax needs - letting you know how much Erb is expected from your Duchy. (Which I'm working on) - But, unless you have a tax system in place then the tax system isn't a feudal tax system - and your people will continue to be taxed by the Imperial government.Austi(Reads that again ... yeah, makes sense to me even if it doesn't to anyone else.)

[Ruhan Zarathustra Erudinz]

So empliment my totally useless tax rates! YAY! "Disce quasi semper victurus; vive quasi cras moriturus"

[Jadie of Goldshire]

That's not why I was asking Why Austi...I was asking why it had to be utterly pointless....*giggles*I'm still working on how much I wish to tax my citizens. Jadie of GoldshireCarry on with your lives people...nothing to see here.
