Out of curiosity, what will be done with all the gold that goes to the Imperial Throne? You're talking about hundreds, perhaps thousands if the empire gets big enough, of gold each week. Loans to less-well off members of the empire? Tournaments?
And will the Imperial Throne have its own council? It's own judge, banker, general? Those positions would have to be RPed, I guess, given the Imperial Throne won't be its own separate realm...unless of course the Emperor took a single city for himself, seceded it and used that as the Imperial Seat.
