Acre

Demographics

Acre is a mixture of humans and elves.

Government

They are a republic, voting in new legislation every five years. The laws are put in place to favor monopolies and the legislation is there to help the rich to be richer. The people pay property taxes, mining taxes, export taxes. These taxes pay for infrastructure, universal health care, and universal pensions. Once a person reaches a certain income, the more benefits you get, such as tax reduction. On the other side of the coin, the poorer you are the more money you receive but you pay more taxes.

Defences

The government hires private militaries that get stationed outside the walls that surround the city. The wall has a few towers that have little people stationed. There are guard towers near the gate area and some at checkpoints, but not many on the inside of the city. There are a good amount of city guards that patrol the richer areas, while the poorer areas get private mercenaries.
