( DEATH & TAXES )
OFFICIAL_POLICY

PREAMBLE

CITIZENSHIP IS A PRIVILEGE. 10,000 CITIZENS ENTER THE SYSTEM. 100 REMAIN. THE ONLY LAW IS SOLVENCY.

( ARTICLE 01 )

>> THE OBLIGATION

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH DAILY FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES RESULTS IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION.

01_1 THE DAILY TAX

EVERY CITIZEN MUST PAY THE DAILY TAX WITHIN THE 24-HOUR FILING WINDOW.

• THE RATE: DYNAMIC. CALCULATED AS 0.05% OF TOTAL TREASURY VALUE.
• THE LOGIC: AS THE PRIZE POOL GROWS, THE COST TO REMAIN INCREASES. WEAK HANDS ARE PRICED OUT.

01_2 BUREAUCRATIC COMPLIANCE

TO PREVENT AUTOMATED "BLIND" PAYMENTS, THE DEPARTMENT CHANGES PAPERWORK DAILY.

• STAMP SYSTEM: AT 00:00 UTC, CONTRACT GENERATES NEW "STAMP COLOR" (RED, BLUE, GREEN, GOLD).
• REQUIREMENT: TRANSACTION MUST EXPLICITLY INCLUDE CORRECT STAMP PARAMETER.
• PENALTY: INCORRECT FILINGS PROCESSED (ETH TAKEN) BUT TAX REMAINS UNPAID.

( ARTICLE 02 )

>> ENFORCEMENT & LIQUIDATION

THE SYSTEM DOES NOT PUNISH YOU. YOUR PEERS DO.

02_1 THE AUDIT (PvP)

ANY CITIZEN MAY PAY AN AUDIT FEE (5X DAILY TAX) TO INVESTIGATE A RIVAL.

• EFFECT: TARGET'S "TIME TO LIVE" INSTANTLY REDUCED BY 12 HOURS.
• RISK: IF AUDIT PUSHES TIMER BELOW ZERO, CITIZEN BECOMES DELINQUENT.

02_2 THE BOUNTY

THE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT WASTE GAS BURNING DEAD CITIZENS. WE PAY YOU TO DO IT.

• REWARD: LIQUIDATOR RECEIVES 50% OF VICTIM'S LAST TAX PAYMENT. VICTIM IS BURNED.

( ARTICLE 03 )

>> ASSET PROTECTION

DEATH IS FINAL. ART IS ETERNAL.

03_1 LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

CITIZENS MAY PURCHASE LIFE INSURANCE AT ANY TIME VIA DASHBOARD.

• COST: FLAT FEE OF 0.02 ETH.
• COVERAGE: IF LIQUIDATED WHILE INSURED, CONTRACT MINTS "MEMORIAL TOKEN" (GHOST PFP).
• RISK: IF LIQUIDATED WITHOUT INSURANCE, ASSET IS BURNED FOREVER.

( ARTICLE 04 )

>> UNIONS & CONSPIRACIES

04_1 TAX HAVENS

PLAYERS MAY STAKE CITIZENS INTO TAX HAVEN CONTRACT (GUILD) TO AUTO-PAY TAXES.

04_2 THE MUTINY CLAUSE

ANY MEMBER MAY CALL FOR VOTE TO DISSOLVE GUILD.

• CONSEQUENCE: IF 51% VOTE YES, HAVEN DISSOLVED. THE 51% SPLIT FUNDS. THE 49% EJECTED WITH ZERO ETH.

( ARTICLE 05 )

>> THE END GAME

05_1 MUSICAL CHAIRS

WHEN POPULATION DROPS BELOW 500, "OPEN FILING" WINDOW CLOSES. CONTRACT ENFORCES STRICT CAP ON PAYMENTS.

• REALITY: 50 CITIZENS WILL DIE TODAY. RACE TO PAY FIRST.

( ARTICLE 06 )

>> THE SETTLEMENT

06_1 THE HIGH COUNCIL

WHEN SURVIVOR COUNT HITS 100:

• TAX FUNCTION DISABLED.
• TREASURY CLAIM UNLOCKED.
• EACH SURVIVOR CLAIMS 1% OF TOTAL TREASURY.
