The new tax system is probably the single greatest improvement to the
overall quality of experience in BM in a long time, yet again proving that
Economics is the keystone to everything.

I concur with Christopher that the auto-dissolves need to be worked out (one
of my characters' oath was not dissolved properly upon appointment to
Countship (with the same Duke).  I don't think that the implementation needs
to wait until after the holidays, however.  Do it now, and it forces people
in line.  I know what I look forward to after the start of a new year is a
new beginning in BM.  Better to get all the fealty kinks worked out now.
