# Taxes

### Kingdoms not in a nation

Taxes are collected every 48 hours from a kingdom's bank, though they are immune for the first three days after they are created.

By default, taxes are collected from a kingdom's members using the following equation:

```
(balance * 5) / 100
where the balance is the player's balance
```

Following this, the kingdom then pays taxes, using the following equation:

```
15 * (kingdom_members + 1) * (kingdom_lands * 3)
where kingdom_members is how many players are in the kingdom
and kingdom_lands is how many lands the kingdom has claimed
```

Pacifist kingdoms pay using the following equation:

```
15 * (kingdom_members + 1) * (kingdom_lands * 3) + (kingdom_members * 10) + (kingdom_lands * 3)
where kingdom_members is how many players are in the kingdom
and kingdom_lands is how many lands the kingdom has claimed
```

Members are **not** kicked from the kingdom if unable to pay the taxes, and kingdoms are **not** disbanded if unable to pay.

### Nations and kingdoms within nations

If a kingdom is in a nation, then the kingdom pays taxes to the nation, which then pays taxes to the server using the following equation:

```
(number of kingdoms nation) * (number of kingdoms in nation)
```

and, by default, kingdoms within the nation pay taxes to the nation using the following equation:

```
(money * 15) / 100
```

If it is unable to pay its taxes, a nation **will be disbanded.**

If a kingdom cannot pay its taxes to the nation, it **will be kicked** from the nation, but not disbanded.
