Villager Rights
Villager rights are a hard, server-enforced cap on how many villagers may be kept in a province. One villager right allows one villager or one zombie villager. A landholder who wants more villagers must hold more rights.
Each right has a posted price, set by the landholder who owns it. This is the price the right is sold for: the landholder must sell it to any buyer willing to pay that price. A landholder is free to change the posted price at any time, by contacting the administration.
Each week a landholder pays the Crown a holding tax equal to 5% of the posted price on every right they own.
Buying villager rights
Villager rights can be bought by contacting the administration. On top of paying the posted price to the selling landholder, the buyer must also pay a transfer duty to the Crown of 5% of the total purchase price, or at least 2,00 gc, whichever is higher.
Villager rights must be bought at their posted price, and cheaper rights must be bought first. If multiple provinces have the same posted price, rights are bought from the province with the most rights available first, until it no longer has the most. Further ties are broken arbitrarily.
