POLICIES OF THE TREASURY OF ELVENESSE, 22 SA

issued 11th of The Amber Cold, 22 SA

Contents

     I. PREFACE

     II. REGARDING TAX EVASION, INDEBTMENT & PROPERTY SEIZURE

     III. CONCERNING THE FINANCIERS TAX POLICIES

ARTICLE I: PREFACE

Upon the transferal of power from his majesty Sea Prince Feanor Sylvaeri to newly ordained High Prince Evar’tir Oranor, the following amendments have been ratified by the Treasury of Elvenesse. These changes are effective immediately following the publishing of this dossier.

ARTICLE II: REGARDING TAX EVASION, INDEBTMENT & PROPERTY SEIZURE

     I. TAX EVASION

• Tax Evasion is the illicit act of failing to provide proof and the subsequent sum of Minae agreed upon once a contract is rendered with a Steward as mentioned in Article 2.1.

          I.I Once it comes to the attention of the Treasury and its responsible Financier(s) that an individual has committed tax evasion, they will be notified by the Treasury of any appropriate fines by way of verbal or written communication of their deliberate or accidental negligence to pay their expenses.

     II. INDEBTMENT FOLLOWING A BREACH OF CONTRACT

         A. Article II of the Indor Tiran, detailing Contracts & Labour of the CIVIL LAW section, in short terms state the following:

• ‘The formation of a contract is rendered upon specified terms via words or conduct and becomes legally binding once accepted by the party to whom it is addressed.’

• The specified terms are that an address-holding citizen (the party to whom the contract is addressed) submits a predetermined sum of Minae related to their address to the Treasury upon the predetermined timeframe ((Sunday @ 11:59pm EST)).
• This contract becomes legally binding in the sense that the contract addressee becomes responsible for performing the terms agreed upon.

• In shorter terms: An individual willfully renders a contract with the Steward they have made contact with upon claiming an address of abode or commercial nature.

        B. In the context that a Citizen liaises with a Steward to make a desirable address their home and/or market stall and/or shop cart, they are lawfully deemed “the promisor” in making a contract with the Steward, who is lawfully deemed “the promisee”.

        C. Once listed as being the beneficiary/owner of an address of their choosing, they are responsible for paying the appropriate sum of Minae in the form of the minted Sunflower Tokens available within the Tax Office; submittable to their corresponding tax slot located within the tax office beneath the Bank.

         D. Failure to provide the predetermined sum of Sunflower Tokens as proof of paid expenses for a duration of three (3) Elven Weeks constitutes an eviction from the address.

     III. PROPERTY SEIZURE

• Upon notice that an individual has failed to pay their taxes and subsequent fine, it is the responsibility of the Citizens Warden and their cabinet to render a notice of eviction upon the infracting address beneficiaries.

          A. Property Seizure implies an eviction notice encompassing no more than three (3) Elven Days upon its placement.

          B. Failure of the beneficiary/address owner to contest said eviction notice will warrant the property to return to the hands of the Crown of Elvenesse at the discretion of the Citizens Warden.

     IV. EXARCHAL INTERVENTION

          A. At such a point which an individual(s) noted as having evaded taxation, and have been given ample notice willfully fails to render the appropriate payment(s), the Treasury will liaise with the appropriate legal representatives.

          B. If after liaison with said legal representatives the individual(s) who have committed what is considered tax evasion -- herein deemed the “Finee” -- by the individual(s) calling for legal discourse -- herein deemed the “Finer” -- a warrant may be submitted to the Okartayneiran.

ARTICLE III: CONCERNING THE FINANCIERS TAX POLICIES

• The following is a listing of policies, protocols, and rules for carrying out domestic financial activities; be it by the Treasury, Financier, or corresponding Stewards.

     I. ADDRESS PAYMENT TRANSFERRAL

          A. In the event that a property owner lives in an address wherein they have submitted advanced payments, and choose later to move to another address within Elvenesse, they may have the Advanced Payment Confirmations transferred to the new address.

• ((Example: Bob lives in Mariners Docks 1. He made an AP that covers the tax days of 3/7/2021 to 3/28/2021 (four weeks).))
• ((Bob decides to move to Mariners Docks 2. If the next tax day (3/7/2021) has not yet been reached, he can have the confirmed payments transferred to his new living address.))

     II. NEWLY INHABITED ADDRESSES

          A. Citizens who are moved into a home on a tax-day are exempt from paying the predetermined amount for that address until the next tax day.

• ((This is because it would be unfair to make them pay for a week they did not inhabit that address.))
• ((This will be the only exception given to a player newly inhabiting an address, as players moving in a day or more sooner have significantly more time to actually live in/adjust the interior to their needs.))

     III. TAX EXEMPTION

          A. For citizens who make it known to the Financier or their associated Stewards that they are unable/incapable of making payments for their respective address, an exemption from paying taxes may be considered.

• ((If there is a roleplay reason for it, then it can be discussed with the appropriate personas IRP. Other reasons acceptable for a tax exemption can include: Technical difficulties/broken device/low-to-no internet access; Leave of Absence; Hiatus; and IRL problems, i.e. things they have mentioned in confidence/do not wish to discuss openly.))

• New Players: New players, i.e. players whose usernames are pink/have not played the server for more than one (1) month, will be exempt from taxation for the first two weeks of their claiming an address in Elvenesse.

  • ((This exemption begins on the first Sunday after the date of their claiming an address, even if it is on a Sunday.))

• Business Transfer: For cases where a business owner/manager forfeits/gives up management of their business, and a new owner is found, the new owner may be exempt from taxation until they are equipped to do the job.

     IV. CONSECUTIVE UNPAID TAXES

          A. For citizens who do not provide the sum of Minae attached to the address that they inhabit/dispense from for a duration of three (3) Elven Weeks in a row, they will have an eviction notice placed on their address.

          B. In order for an address holder to be considered for a new home/commercial address after the point where they have been evicted, they must pay their debt in full.

     V. FOREIGN SEA-VESSELS & COMMERCE

          A. As of 11th of The Amber Cold, 22 SA, this amendment states that all sea-bourn vessels and commerce stalls owned or otherwise managed by foreign beneficiaries will be subject to an alternative rate of taxation.

                I. Foreign sea vessels will be subject to a singular mooring fee of no less than 30 (thirty) mina.

                II. Commerce stalls managed by foreign persons (non-citizens of the realm) will be subject to a rate of taxation 5 (five) mina more than the standard rate for that individual address.

Airebys skims the message, folding it neatly and tossing it onto his desk because he's neither a nincompoop nor an arsonist.

41 minutes ago, Kalehart said:

"Oh, come now," the Lord Marshal mutters as he looks over the paper, alone in his office with a grimace on his features, "we had no part in his death. Evar'tir wasn't even present for much of what this speaks of."

 

Shuffling through the papers on his desk, a dejected sigh leaves the 'aheral as he rests forwards with his head in his hand, "And as I'd feared, not even a single new applicant. How can we rise above these cruel indignities, if our people won't lend us their strength?"

 

"Without the strength to hold firm, we bend, or we break."

The Treasurer of Amathea pours over the notice at his desk high in the Citadel; a shiver running down his spine from the schadenfreude he felt upon realizing Haelun'or's latest dilemma... "Oh, the irony." he mutters to himself in his comfortable isolation, folding the paper into a small glider and launching it out the window to sea.

The mali' takes his pipe from a pouch in his coat, lighting a plug of herbs and pondering more to himself. "This Vane Freysson is certainly a shrewd man, if not a clever one. I should meet him..."

SIGNED,

Username: Waibiao

Full Name: Airebys Sylric

Race: Elf

Age: 218

Why do you wish to join?: It is my understanding that the Elvenesse militia has undergone some significant changes in an attempt to bolster its arguably scarce numbers. The previous commander, Aesilnoth Tundrak, is a close friend and asked me during his tenure if I would join; though I declined at the time due to poorer health. With my strength coming back to me, I would be honored to offer it and my past military experience to aiding the Crown.

Are you a citizen of Elvenesse?: Yes.

A certain veteran elf of the Siege of Helena nods his head in approval.

A certain Mali'fenn, resurfacing from his time away from society, hefts the paper in one hand and ponders to himself in the comfort of his apartment, "My homeland is dead, but at least my remaining kin do not clamber and claw at some sense of life and relevance so pathetically."

Improvement Costs:

There has been a bit of confusion recently regarding the cost of improvements. The economy team would like to clarify that the cost of improvements is 2500 minas as an initial investment and 50 mina of weekly upkeep.

Just so I'm not confused about the prices - does each individual improvement (clay, lava, ground, etc...) cost the 2500 mina + 50 mina/week upkeep, or is it an all-in-one improvement for that price.

With all other races being shelved, it is time for the Monke uprising.

With our 800lbs grip strength and four hands we'll turn the humans to twigs.

Shoutout to my fellow active Hou-zi (Qing Long?). Lets kickstart some new religions and stir the pot.

time for monke to make medicine

Having been a resource-grinder since I joined this community (shoutout to Fenn's Bilok'thuln, may it rest in peace), I'd note how remiss it is to undermine the initial vanilla grinding-aesthetic many talented players like @Chef891 put time into forming as a guild.

As much as some players might donk on him lately, players like @Quavinir_Twiceborn have put sometimes years of time into roleplay-craft (weapons-smithing, etc...) as a form of niche roleplay.

Grinding for resources was tedious enough when you had to navigate a finite mine-world, but with Vortex it's only more tiresome.
