okay.. how about this. Panamana's tax was 236 this week (just TOed it) I 
expect it to be single digit next week, because of 1% production due to 
practically 0 pop. It was at one point a part of Madina, then it kicked 
the lord out or something.

Now.. why would peasants be paying more tax when there's no lord, I was 
under the impression that lordless regions (within a realm) 
automatically have lower tax rates to begin with. Do rogue regions pay 
100% tax or something?

let's be generous and say tax was 10 gold a week.. that still takes 20 + 
weeks to accumulate 200 gold. I don't believe it had gone rogue (after 
the 1st TO) for 20 weeks, not least because the island hasn't been up 
for 20 weeks as yet.

Even funnier is some of those cities. 1k+ tax then drops to single digit 
the week after.


Incidentally, I was told that it's likely to be pointless in looting 
food from a rogue region. Why? If taxes are collected even when there 
isn't a lord around.. surely they should collect food too.
