Title: Independent Shares
Summary: Shares that apply differently to each region/duchy, allowing dukes and rulers to demand varied shares from their vassals.
Details: The current system applies a single ducal/ruler share percentage to every region/duchy that applies. For example, every lord in the Duchy of Bob owes 8% of their tax income to their duke; every duke in the Kingdom of Joe owes 10% of their tax income to their ruler. This proposal seeks to implement the ability for dukes and rulers to levy shares in accordance with punitive practices, equitable practices, and arbitrary practices. By this, I mean Duke Billy of the Duchy of Bob should be able to demand a 50% share from Lord Jon, provided that Lord Jon insulted Duke Billy. However, Lord Chow (Duke Billy's other vassal) shouldn't be required to pay that same share. He should sit comfortably owing 10% of his tax income for his loyalty and good behavior. King George should be able to demand a larger share from the much wealthier Duchy of Lancaster, and alleviate the tax burden on the plodding Duchy of York. Mad King Aerys should be able to demand any share that pleases his insanity from Lord Tywin, Lord Mace, and Lord Hoster, be those shares 50%, 42%, and 25% respectively. Punitive, Equitable, and Arbitrary.
Benefits: A more realistic approach to shares and taxes that also promotes player interaction and conflict.
Possible Downsides/Exploits: Players acting on OOC enmity by taxing the players they are in disagreement with, despite lacking a valid RP reason.
