[hider=Orders]
- Posting IC will be immensely beneficial to you as a player. It is, however, not necessary. This is designed so that you can still send in your orders if you are too busy to post, but posting IC will provide a tangible bonus to your DRM (Die Roll Modifier).
- Each [b]Turn[/b] represents one In-Game Month. The player will submit [b]3 Orders[/b].
- Each order is then subject to a 1d6 roll. A 6 means a perfect execution and a 1 means a horrible failure. Posting IC gives you a +2 die roll to a single order, or a +1 die roll to all three. [Specified at the end of your IC post.]. This means that more active players are rewarded.

[b][h3]June 21st[/h3][/b][indent]To stir economic growth in the Illesian Kingdom, King Avandre VII consults with the Committee on National Finances as well as a number of highly regarded economists such as Ralph Laurvan, a university academic who has spent his life trying to understand the fluxuations of economies and their causes, as well as a number of business owners in Regoth. Together, they have all come to the conclusion that one of the primary hurdles to a business, especially when starting up, is the tax burden upon them. To address this issue, King Avandre VII signs The Nascent Commerce Tax Act of 1905;

[u][b]The Nascent Commerce Tax Act of 1905[/b][/u]
In order to encourage the growth of new businesses in Illesia as well as the economic growth and innovation that the appearance of these businesses brings, King Avandre VII hereby declares that all new businesses that:
1. Are started in Illesia after the passing of this Act;
2. Are started and owned by an Illesian national or majority owned by Illesian nationals;
3. Are not attempting to manipulate this Act in a fraudulent manner to avoid paying their taxes such as closing a business and reopening it under a new name or any other financial trickery as determined by the Ministry of Taxation.

Businesses that meet these three requirements will be considered new by the Ministry of Taxation and will be temporarily taxed only 10% of their revenue for two years after their founding instead of the usual 33.5%. To receive this tax break, when a new business sends in its tax forms, it will notify the Ministry of Taxation on the forms that it is a new business. If the Ministry of Taxation chooses to audit the business and discovers that the individuals or other entities that started the business lied to make the business appear as if it were started after the passing of this Act when in truth the business that existed before the passing of this Act, even under a different name or ownership, the business will be fined an amount equivalent to the amount of tax the business should have paid during the time it was receiving the tax break.[/indent][b][h3]June 22nd[/h3][/b][indent]In the [b][color=lightblue]Toubrés Empire[/color][/b], the first protest in Amzores takes place. "[i]Nós não somos os segundos! Nós não somos os segundos![/i]" The crowd outside the Empress' Palace was modest, only a few hundred. By day's end, it would nearly eclipse a thousand. There had been larger and more violent demonstrations in times past. The headlines in Tara and Paraka read: "[b]ILLESIA DEFENDS TOUBRIAN PUPPET STATE[/b]" [/indent][b][h3]June 25th[/h3][/b][indent]In the [b][color=olive]Parakan Republic[/color][/b], the "Society for Extra-Continental Affairs" is established, chaired by Aynar Mirqaya. "Who the fuck is Aynar Mirqaya?" a Parakan asked. The organization will serve as a deniable asset to counteract Euranian imperialism, by means of military, social and political actions, by means of inciting unrest, propaganda, arming and training partisans favorable to Parakan interests.[/indent]
