Quotes from Charles which would as well be implemented in this Governmental System:

The Quota system:

The quota system is a system that will be used to provide materials for the kingdom instead of having Dwarves deprive the kingdom through their demands. They will instead have jobs in which they will have a quota of materials they must give to the kingdom per elven year. This way the workers pay for their use of the facilities and allow the kingdom to plan events and give back to the people, and new Dwarves.

The "Catch":

is that if a Dwarf fails to pay their quota, they will loose their permissions to use their home, and the items they own will be revoked by the kingdom and stored away in a chest until the dwarf pays his quota. If a dwarf fails to do so within 3 elven weeks ((3 days)) their items will be permanently revoked and given to the kingdom where the Dwarf must prove himself again through purchasing a new home, and working to meet his quotas.

Housing:

Cheap housing will be provided for 500 minas, these houses will be 5x5 and will fit all of a dwarf's needs.

We talked about the price per size in the meeting and it resulted this and I totally agree!

To avoid this issue during long journeys:

A dwarf must report to a overseer and must notify him of his long years journey, failure to notify the Overseer of said workers job will cause the catch to be invoked. The dwarf can also insert a surplus in to his chest to pay off any future debts. (see below)

This was always a rule in OOC but to clear this up ICly is a good idea[./color]

How the quotas will be collected:

The quotas will be dropped off in a locked chest in the bank, the dwarf may go into the bank and drop off his quota which will insure it is paid. This then will be checked every elven year by the Overseer of economics to determine if the dwarf has paid his quota.

Supply distribution:

Supplies will be distributed by the workers in economics, they will insert enough food to last a dwarf a year, depending on the dwarf's ability to pay the quotas. Tools will also be distributed and supplies depending on the dwarf's occupation. If the Overseer sees a decrease in supplies they must sign the list and have it considered by the advisers and king who in turn will purchase the goods from other kingdoms or will extract it from the kingdom supplies.

This system is in place to prevent Hoarding and allow the kingdom to be able to supply the Dwarves with

feasts, events, and military if in conflict with other nations.

Ideas that I will put through:

The Kings Money:

The money of the Kings is divided at the beginning, the Triumph King receives 40% of the money for all the payments of all jobs, the War- King receives 10% to handle the army and pay for the members that have fought in War. the Politics and Commerce King gets 40% since he has to buy every supplement for the nation, this includes.

Permissions:

I will secure the city neatly, meaning I will divide the City in sections (e.g. Kalurguan and Outerkalurguan) and I will only give a small amount of people whole access to the city, so that there won’t be much things stolen from the homes and that there won’t be much griefing within the Kingdom.

(( More to come, I just wanted to bring the Government system out, Please leave further Ideas and suggestions ))

Just to clarify there WOULD be three Kings. One 'Grand King' and two Kings below that.

[Supertimmy4ever 19]

i think this system would work better, because this has three kings and it is worked out well, but we need a high merchant.

[Cracker 4570]

Alt'ough some claim det dis is just anudder man in de Braveaxe dynasty, I t'ink Broski's system be sound n' well. It combines elements of all de' dwarves n' produces a strong government backed by t'ree kings. I like it a lot, especially wit a balance of power between 3 kings.

[ΩMercenΩ 67]

I like this system, and I t'ink t'at Broski would make a great king!

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

((I approve! Broski for King! And what about Guilds? I noticed that they are absent.))

[~ Ashdrek / CalmCrysis ~ 32]

Even though I am no Dwarf, I am the overseer of Kal'Dwain and I approve of Broski for King.

[Broski 54]

It seems I have forgot about a few things, updating now!

Updated!

The Politics and Commerce- King does all the merchandising.

[Mystronghold 52]

I approve of Broski becoming king :)

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

((I approve! Broski for King! And what about Guilds? I noticed that they are absent.))

((I withdraw my vote, I have decided to stay neutral, seeing as I cannot play.))

[Dunhagen 26]

I don't like this quota system. I'm a merchant, i don't gather materials.

Also it says: "This way the workers pay for their use of the facilities and allow the kingdom to plan events and give back to the people, and new Dwarves."

I think "the workers" should be paid, not the otherway around. Maybe i don't get the idea behind it at all.

I see, well for instance, they, the miners, will provide us the materials they aquired in the mine and then they get paid by what we have (House, food, minas) and then we can use those ores to give them to our Architects for coal and stone, Farmers for hoes, Legion for armory and even the Miners for equipment! Does this sound better to you?

[Dun_Irongut 104]

Te elaborate on what Broski is sayin', ye would give back fer usin' public land. Ye can still be paid by guilds er shops if ye work fer 'em.

[zuluman 79]

So if someone has no need to use the public lands, then would said person still need to fulfill a quota?

[Dunhagen 26]

So, there will be no taxes for the higher class ? For people who can afford their own homes and own supplies ?

((I got another problem, i like to state. Its more a design question.

I'm currently a merchant in Salvus, i'm running a well-running shop right on the town square. I got a lot of customers due to the fact, it has a very good location. Sometimes there are up to 20 people around and i'm not even on to the peak times.

I'm just not able to open such a shop in Karik, because there is no central gathering place. Even the taverns are hidden behind the arena and the shops are even in another district.

I don't know if i'm asking too much, but we should try to create such a gathering place. Right now when i come to Karik, i sit in our clan hall, because there isnt really any other place to be. I hope you understand what i am asking.))
