Introduction
This document describes the imperial treasury system. A relatively simple system for storing the amount of money earned by the imperial government and its relative payout.
Purpose
To keep track of the economic movement of the server. And to provide payouts to the current emperor and any members of senate or any other government-affiliated organizations that may be added in the future.
Concept
The concept revolves around storing the amount of money paid in either taxes or rent as funding for the imperial treasury. A percentage of this money can then be paid out in regular intervals to the current emperor, and to senators.
With all left over funds being stored and kept. Maybe the senate can vote to even spend the funds to reward players, giving all players a percent of the funds.
Implementation
The Treasury plugin would be implenented with it's own
Arcadius-Treasury plugin. The plugin tracks the amount of money
in the treasury and regularly pays out from the treasury.
Implantation should be done mainly with event listeners. Listening to the following events:
RentPaidEvent- Amount paid is added to treasury.
SignShopUseEvent- Taxed amount is added to treasury
MerchantReturnEvent- If the merchant is from Latium, and the merchant returned with profits, then the taxed value is added to the treasury.
