The interesting thing about the new system is that you can appoint one person as Duke over the entire area, have them collect 50% of the taxes from all the regions, and get a fairly decent income that way. No need to worry about food--there's not enough to both with, either positive or negative.
Are you assuming that there are no appointments to the regions in the duchy? If so, does anyone have experience with the resulting penalties? Because we're going to be stretched thin.
Which reminds me... SOLARIA: NOW HIRING.
