Aid & Tax

Max Shipment

Max Aid Shipment = Province Networth * 4

Tax

Base Tax Rate = -4 * (Trade Balance / Networth + 4)

Tax Rate = DEPEND ( Base Tax Rate ) :
                    Base Tax Rate < 0    = 0
               0 <  Base Tax Rate < 98   = Base Tax Rate
                    Base Tax Rate > 98   = 98

• Tax Rate is capped at 98% max.
• If receiving province has been hit significantly and is subject to Gangbang Protection:
  • Tax rate will be cut in half
  • Tax will be capped at 15% rather than the 98% max.
• Taxes don't take effect until your negative trade balance reaches 400% of your networth (equivalent to one maximum aid shipment).
• If the province is below the average networth of the Kingdom, then the tax rate is calculated on the average kingdom province networth.

Tax Rate Reduction

Tax Rate Reduction = Trade Balance * ((1 - 0.75) / 100)

It takes 11.5 real life days to halve your trade balance.
