Raising taxes is like adultery, Revan. At first, you feel guilty, but after a while, it's pure pleasure.

Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?

A group of holidaymakers from Qasardastan have been arrested while visiting the scenic, yet corrupt and totalitarian, nation of *** on charges of drug trafficking - an offence which carries the maximum sentence of the death penalty. The story has provoked outrage from citizens, many believing the government should intervene to bring the tourists back home.

the scenic, yet corrupt and totalitarian

Arcondia, probably.

Whatever

Basically, I'm not sure anymore. The idea of creating an asexual society seemed quite appealing at the time, but now I have doubts about the feasibility of implementing such a theme in practice, because for this, we would have to install cameras in every bedroom and engage in other nonsense.

Arcondia, probably.

If you think Arcondia is totalitarian, then you haven't heard anything about tomatoes and cheese.

What’s so bad about raising taxes? I don’t understand why you’re so afraid of these increases.

А, вот почему.

Well, your citizens have nothing to worry about; they never had any money to begin with.

what if--and this is just a hypothetical, mind--based on this and to counter years of discrimination, only homosexuals were allowed to serve?"

For some reason, I felt the urge to test this option on Burhan and see how it would affect the current mini-expedition.

Before the participants of the expedition, skyscrapers, monorail trains, and flying cars will rise into the sky, symbolizing the increased level of technological progress.

And we still have to relieve the patrol... Somehow, this phrase has taken on a new meaning, lol.

Just in case, I wasn't writing to Revan, but to my own group. Maybe our plan doesn't seem so perfect to everyone there.

Yes, I'm talking about my own things.

- Ventorum, did you do your homework?
- Not yet.
- Oh, you little rascal, you better do it quickly.
- Okay.

- Ventorum, are you doing your homework?
- I already did it.
- Why are you rushing so much? There are so many wonderful things in the world, you shouldn't focus only on studying!

Private sector
Numerous advisors to the Empress strongly recommended that she completely nationalize the country's economy, arguing that signing such a law would bring all sorts of conceivable and inconceivable benefits. However, Khan Yong Mi rejected their advice. In the current situation, nationalizing the economy would lead the country into a socialist abyss with all the ensuing consequences.
The basic elements of infrastructure, the sphere of education and science (its state part), the RVAF, and law enforcement are entirely funded by the state – this is beyond discussion, but almost everything else is left to the private market. Strict government oversight should prevent violations by private entities, and relatively equal incomes among the population (3.4 atm) will allow everyone to use the services of the free market.
Although the economy of Rex Ventorum is as strong as ever, high taxes and strict regulation by the country's leadership have made its market less attractive to private entrepreneurs, somewhat slowing its growth.
Inheritance tax
100%

All citizens of the country, upon reaching the age of majority, regardless of their parents' health, receive significant financial support from the empire for self-realization and finding their place in life (this includes purchasing housing, obtaining education, etc.).
The deceased's funds, real estate, shares, and other assets are all seized for the benefit of the government.
The funds go to the state treasury, and the real estate and shares are sold. The funds go into a youth assistance fund (see point one).
The deceased's children have a privilege (priority) to buy back his property.
The government does not allow violations of this law through the "transfer" of property before the moment of death.

Marriage

Marriage is permitted only between a man and a woman (polygamy and same-sex marriages are not permitted). The age difference between the bride and groom should not exceed 10 years.
To dissolve a marriage, the desire of one of the parties is sufficient.
Marital infidelity is punishable by imprisonment for two years.
The use of contraceptives and abortions during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy is legal.
In the first year of a child's life, the parents may renounce him, but they are obliged to make regular payments for his development and all necessary needs until he reaches the age of majority or until he is adopted by another family.

The bill on the "ban on sex" was withdrawn; the reasons are not specified, but the two main assumptions are as follows:
— The impossibility of implementing this bill in practice.
— The original purpose of this bill was different.
Deviations

Nudism and naturism are considered a violation of public order.
Homosexuality is recognized as a genetic deviation and, accordingly, is considered a disease. The government "cannot" force such a person to undergo treatment, and therefore he retains the right to refuse it. If such an individual is doing well in his job, he cannot be fired solely because of his deviation (unless he tries to promote his lifestyle or leads it openly; otherwise, he is punished with imprisonment for a term of three months to ten years).
Other deviants, such as pedophiles, zoophiles, and transvestites, if there is evidence of such deviations or a corresponding admission, are isolated from society in a psychiatric clinic in the province of Salus.
