#### Markets

State built market stalls are all free to be used as long a person only owns one per town. All Stalls should be made to house 2 barrels to sell items at. If you choose to sell your things at one of them, they'll be untaxed as long the owner doesn't have more than 2 chestshops in the nation. Else taxes will apply according to one of the following Categories.

Market Stall shall only be built on areas 3 times the stall you wish to build. All Stalls have to be decorated in some way and if not, the shop will be closed by the state and later removed.

#### Shops

Shops can be made in private houses as long they proberly own it (no appartment) and have a designated seperated area for it. Before selling your items, register at the Merchant's Guild for owning a property designated to selling items and selling them in more than 3 barrels in the same town. The registration may cost a fee of 5.000 Denars and taxes have to be paid to the landlord accordingly to the amounts of different items sold.

To be an Adventurer you need to register at the Adventurer's Guild where all kinds of jobs varying from grinding to mercenary tasks may be offered to be done. Payment and taxation depends on the reward given.

### Property

Property is assigned by the landlord according to his plans for expansion. They may be either Appartments, Houses, or Properties for the Owner to freely build on. All built Property is governed by the Builder's Guild and the Landlord

#### Construction

If you sign up to be a builder, you'll get paid 10.000 Denars per fully built Appartment and 20.000 Denars for every fully built House. All builders have to follow the theme of the surrounding houses and build within the plans of the Landlord.

If requested, you can be excluded from getting paid for your doings.

#### Appartments

Every new citizen has the right to get an Appartment for free and are allowed to move to a different one later on. If a person already owns an appartment in another town, they have to pay for the appartment according to the prizes of the Builder's Guild with an extra for the Landlord.

Every citizen has the right to purchase a House which has to have more available space than an appartment in the same town. After purchasing it, you fully own it and can do with it whatever you want with the only exception being destruction. Houses have to be prized according to the Builder's guild and an extra for the Landlord.

#### Properties

They usually are located at the outskirts of towns and are prized according to their size. After purchasing it, you're obligated to use it within a week as else it'll be confiscated with only half of the money paid back. You're allowed to build on it whatever you want as long it is not considered to be an "ugly build".

### Government

If you wish to join the Government, you have to do a variety of things to be granted a title or a place in the senate. All Senators recieve a weekly payment of 10.000 Denars if they've been active in that week.

#### Towns and Regions

Landlords also have to pay a certain amount to the State (into the Nation's Balance) which is decided by following list:

1 Town with more than 5 Citizen: 2000 Denars
