Ideas for taxes. What is taxed? How?
What are the programs that you think Kingdom taxes should pay for/subsidize? Roads? Defense? (What kinds of defense? National Army? Internal Police? City Walls?)Trade? Religious buildings?
YAY FINANCES WARRANT ALL CAPS USAGE
But how can you plan budgets if we have no idea on how much things cost, the value of money, wages, etc? We know absolutely nothing on the economy so delving into numbers now doesn't make much sense.
this is why there are no numbers yet Yorick but only a rough outline of how things will be managed on a financial level.
No taxation without representation! We never voted for a King!
Dump the Teas!
This is no normal Tea. These are Tea Bags of Freedom. We are dumping Freedom into the Ocean, and letting it spread to the 4 corners of the World!
Right now, I'm just a sloth. Just a motionless sloth. A sinful sloth. Please don't make me work. Can't you see how troublesome it would be to get up everyday and actually be productive? Just leave me be. Let me be a sloth.
CountFrancisDrake, you are correct. We cannot use actual numbers yet. We are exploring economic ideas. Think the writings of Adam Smith vs the year end Financials of Microsoft.

Considering we have no clue how any of the in game mechanics work it's a little premature to compare yourself to Adam Smith.
The comparison would be better described as the difference between the economic ideas of Gene Roddenberry and the bottlecap system of the Fallout universe. Both of course, make more sense at this point in time than your proposed system.
Fiscal projections and third-party non-active players as auditors really? I hope the people of Vornair enjoy Accountancy Simulator 2018 when it comes out

Basically this. Have fun Vornair.

>Each Jarldom is responsible for an equal portion of a flat 30% of the total needed to fund the Kingdom level budget.
This is so backwards. Instead of deciding the budget and making your underlings pay for that, how about seeing what your duchies can reasonably pay in taxes and decide your budget based on on that?
Considering that the economic system so far seems to be bottom up, rather than top down, it's far to early to determine a system of taxation--we don't even know the mechanics behind this yet. It could very well be that planning a financial strategy, ahead of knowing what you have to work with, ends up being a wash.

"The other 70% will be an assessed amount based upon each Jarldom’s estimated/reported income."
It's not really backwards. 5 duchy average, 30%. 8% per duchy flat then another percentage based off of what you can pay off of your assessed value.
I don't know anymore.

Nothing in this document is reliant on any type of game mechanic or in-game system other than what is confirmed.
I don't know anymore.
