Senate Bill #24
"Regional Tax Act"
Whereas, Natopia is a federal republic with lesser government dependent on the Imperial government,
Whereas, the Imperial government cannot be expected to provide all services to the Regions,
Be it resolved in the Grand Natopian Senate,
That, the Regions of Natopia are hereby given the authority to tax their citizens.
That, the Regions will only use the Imperial Bank of Natopia for these transactions.

So this essentially means that regions can also place a tax on their citizens, somewhat like you have to pay a state tax and then a local tax?

whatever they want. if a Region wants to start a service for its citizens, and only its citizens... or if the Imperial govt doesnt provide a service that the Region wants... then the region can enact its own taxes and use the collections as they want.

That sounds good. What happens if the regional chancellor just keeps the money to themselves?

well then the imperial govt may step in and audit the Region to determine if the taxes are being spent correctly. if not... well.. bad stuff will happen and Natopia will reveal its "imperial" side rather than the cutesy "republic" face we've been wearing for PR  |
