Citizenship Bounty and Monetary Reform.

Chapter XIII: Economy
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 Steward will receive 100 erb.
d. Upon the ascension of a new Kaiser (provided they hold the position for the length of time stipulated in Ministry Regulations) they will receive 300 erb in the Household Account.
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.
4. 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.
Note: I had confusion in the previous bill as I was refer to scott's half quote of his bill, and not the full version because someone hadn't put it in the lawbook. I've now put it in the lawbook, so can quote the requisite section in full (adding in the Steward thing). Part 3. was already there, I just left it so its clear we aren't deleting it. Part 4 I added because it somehow got deleted in Scott's bill and should be there.Act of Landsraad (under XIII.D)
An additional 5000 erb shall be printed. The amount in each account currently shall be doubled.
If those who voted for option three liked the idea of doubling money and still paying bounties, but are also happy to drop the bounties to a smaller amount (ie 50 for each new position instead of 100 for Duke and Steward) then by all means say so and I'll resubmit the bill as that before voting.
