💸 Taxation -

In addition to the upkeep Vittles which are required for a region’s morale, the leader of an alliance, or their chosen tax collector may levy a tax on certain resources. If the head of an alliance determines to tax a particular resource, Houses (the loyal ones that is), will have to make sure that their production is sufficient for both upkeep and the tax, before even considering their own surplus. Players are by no means required to pay taxes levied upon them but it could make things difficult in an alliance, if they flat out refuse.
