Proposal : Providing for the common good.

Enact a new Rule: Revenue

All Government revenue is tracked on the GNDT by two Credit accounts called General Revenue, and Military Funds. At the beginning of each Dynasty, the General Revenue account is set to 10,000 Credits, and the Military Funds account is set to 5,000 Credits. These Revenue accounts can only be adjusted by the Minster of Revenue and the Emperor.

The Minister of Revenue oversees all revenue related affairs, including taxation, payroll of Government Citizens, and administering funds to the Military. The Minister of Revenue is appointed by the Emperor, and can be appointed at any time.

Taxation: By the end of the day each Monday, all Citizens are taxed Credits by the Minister of Revenue. 80% of these Credits are moved to the General Revenue account, and 20% are moved to the Military Funds account. All Citizens (excluding the Emperor) are taxed 5% (rounded up to the nearest whole Credit) of their total Credits as of the end of the day each Sunday. If a Citizen's total Credits are less than one Credit at the time of taxation, they are be taxed. If the Minister of Revenue fails to carry out the taxation by the end of the day on Monday, taxes are not taken for the week, and the Minister is fined ten Credits.

Payroll of Government Employees: By the end of the day each Monday, the Minister of Revenue pays each Government Citizen by subtracting Credits from the General Revenue and adding it to the Government Citizen's Credits. The amount paid to each Governement Citizen is 50 Credits plus 2% of the total number of Revenue Credits after the current week's taxation, divided by the number of Government Citizens including the Emperor. The Emperor is paid 100 credits plus 2% of the total number of General Revenue Credits after the week's taxation, divided by the number of Governement Citizens including the Emperor.

Administering funds to the Military: To carry out any action including, but not limited to the payroll of Military Citizens, and the acquisition of equipment, supplies or land, a Military Citizen must submit a budget to the Minister of Revenue. This budget will be reviewed by the Minister of Revenue, and can be revised before being granted. The Minister of Revenue or the Emperor can grant funds to the Military by posting that a budget is approved, or approved with revisions. Once a budget is approved, the Credits requested in the budget are moved to a Credit account called Active Military Funds. This account can be adjusted in the form of subtractions to carry out actions specified by a budget by a Military Citizen. This acount can be adjusted by the Minister of Revenue, or the Emperor for any purpose.
