David, great stuff! Just a query re:

I would have thought 10% is very low in many areas. Does anyone have any bright ideas on the taxes in, for example, Tarsh vs Sartar? I wouldn't be surprised at harsh taxing under a lunar occupation of 40-50%. That way they can have favourites who get taxed much less and there is an incentive to become one of the favourites ;-)

In Tarsh, it may be as little as 20-30% as things have settled down since the occupation.
