Re: Who sets the realm share of taxes?

You're right, actually, Bedwyr, although oddly it seems just the three regions of the Nocaneb duchy that send gold to the realm are not actually doing so, which includes the stronghold of Nocanab itself.

So does that mean what it says on the Realm Taxes page on the Banker tab is complete bollocks?

"You can use this power to finance your government or personal efforts, but also to support or punish dukes and lords. Raising a dukes or lords realm tax rate is sure to get his attention.
The realm tax rate you set here is taken after all expenses are paid, but before any knights or the duke/lord himself receive their share. As such it can be anywhere from 0% to 100%. However, for administrative reasons, you can not raise or lower it by more than 5at once.
"

The Banker can't "support or punish" anyone as all the duke has to do is send nothing to the realm and the Banker can do squat about it. And the second paragraph seems to imply the tax rate he sets will be taken from the taxes collected from each individual region, rather than the duchy contribution, which is also wrong.
