Provinces

Land on Alinea is either part of a province or it is territory. A province is held by a landholder, who decides who may enter, where they may go, and what they may build. Territory is held by no one: anyone can build there, and for the same reason anyone can change what others have built.

A province whose landholder is the administration rather than a player is crown land. These typically serve the common good.

Living in a province

Every landholder sets their own rules and culture, so picking a province is a choice about how you want to play. Visit a few and talk to the people who live there to find one that suits you.

A landholder may charge you for living there, for farm access, or for anything else they offer. Whether you pay is your choice, but if you do not, they can withhold what they charge for and evict you from the land you occupy. If they do, you must always be given at least 48 hours to recover your items.

Holding a province

As a landholder, you decide how the province you hold gets used. How you govern is up to you: rule alone, establish a council, or hold elections. In exchange for this power, you are responsible for paying a provincial tax each week.

Anyone can ask to establish a province, once the administration is confident they can run one. However you govern, you answer to the server administration for it.

Provincial taxes

You pay the Crown every week to keep your land, due by Monday, Central European Time. It is made up of four taxes.

  • The provincial base tax of 0,60 gc and 50 ls, the same for every province.
  • The provincial land tax, at 6 ls for every 256 m² you hold.
  • The provincial spawner tax, at 0,05 gc for each right you hold.
  • The provincial villager tax, at 5% of the price you post for them.

The landscrip part of each provincial tax can be paid in coins as well, at a rate of 1,00 gc = 20 ls. Tax rates can change without warning.

You can recover these costs by taxing the usage of your land: for residency, farm access, or anything else you offer. What you charge, and who you charge, is yours to decide.

Villager rights have a page of their own. For spawner rights, contact the server administration.
