Your guild "The Church of Estahsism" had to pay the following taxes:

* 77 gold in Ffangor (taxrate 17 %).
* 91 gold in Haji (taxrate 20 %).
* 20 gold in Xerus (taxrate 13 %).
* 20 gold in Yipinalke (taxrate 13 %).
* 39 gold in Gethsemene (taxrate 13 %).
* 204 gold in Ossmat (taxrate 45 %).
* 86 gold in Vatrona (taxrate 19 %).
* 100 gold in Vore (taxrate 22 %).

I don't actually know how much they had in treasury at that point, but 
this is what gave me the idea that something fishy was going on. I'm 
just glad if I'm indeed wrong :)

See above for the tax rate of Ossmat. No problems there with regards to 
region maintenance and Old Grehk is certainly not a small realm that can 
afford to put a lot of people working on one region. Though I suppose 
this could have been fixed with the thing you mentioned in another post :)
