The County Of Doreinior

Home to many traders and scholars, the County of Doreinior seeks to provide its citizens the necessary infrastructure and support required to flourish in their chosen profession. Being a Trading and Educational hub however, funding will necessarily go into the building of Markets, Ports, Warehouses, Transport, Roads, Schools, Libraries and Laboratories to push the boundaries of development. That is not to say that there will be no funding or support for other professions, but they will only happen on a need-to basis where progress have become stagnant.

As a form of social contract, citizens of Doreinior will pay taxes not exceeding 10% of their income, harvest or produce, tiered according to their economic status, in order to sustain this progress.

There is also a saying in Doreinior, "You do not own what you cannot defend." Citizens of Doreinior are also expected to take up arms in its defence. It is strongly encouraged that all citizens from the age of 18-45 take up soldiering as a secondary or tertiary profession.

Remuneration of the Einior's service and their Sub-council is as described in the budget below.

Doreinior's Budget

As part of the homage to the Duchy of Sommerlund and for ease of calculation, a percentage of the gross revenue or a fixed amount will be first given to Duchy of Sommerlund. (This will be further discussed with the Duke)

10% of the remaining revenue will placed into the reserve. This 10% will either be kept untouched or used to purchase easily liquidable precious metals of stable value to ensure liquidity in times of crisis. Doreinor's reserve will be directly managed by the Count/Countess.

Of the remaining revenue, the breakdown is as follows,

15% will be given to the Council Of Naur to be specifically used for,

1. Building and maintenance of defensive structures.

2. Procurement and maintenance of equipment and weapons

3. Cost of employment, deployment, training and remuneration for both professional military and militia.

15% will be given to the Council of Ceven to be specifically used for,

1. Building and maintenance of police/fire department station/outpost.

2. Procurement and maintenance of equipment.

3. Cost of employment, deployment, training and remuneration for both police and firefighters. (or whatever form of police and firefighters that may take place in-game)

4. Short term disaster relief.

20% will be given to the Council of Raud to be specifically used for,

1. Building and maintenance of Markets, Ports, Warehouses or any other economic building required for Doreinior's economy to thrive.

2. Investments into Government Linked Companies working together with the Duchy of Sommerlund and the Elyrian Initiative. Dividends received will be returned as part of the revenue for Doreinior.

3. Development into Disruptive Technologies and Sunrise Industries.

20% will be given to the Council of Nen to be specifically used for,

1. Building of Roads, Public Housing, Public Transport, Public Entertainment, Sanitation, Healthcare facilities and/or any other facility that will benefit the welfare and well-being of Doreinior's Citizens.

2. Ensuring the continued supply of basic needs such as food and water to all citizens of Doreinior.

3. Funding for training of Doreinior's Citizen in their Primary Profession up to Journeyman level. This may only exist as a partial subsidy depending on the discretion of the Einior.

The remaining 10% will be used for government administration including the remuneration for the services of the Count, Einior and Byr-Einior. The model used for remuneration will be similar to a profit-sharing model in which the Count and Einior receives no more than 1% and 0.8% of the Budget respectively. The remainder will be divided evenly to Council of the Pillars and further sub-divided to each Byr-Einior under the discretion of the Einior-in-charge. This model is used to encourage (hopefully) the Count himself, the Einior and the Byr-Einior to do their best to develop the County of Doreinior.

tl;dr. Doreinior is a great county to settle or invest in. Rest assured that your taxes are well managed to ensure maximum returns to yourself in the form of Physical, Social and Economic Security. Move into Doreinior now! (Or at least when the game starts)
