Example Reforms

[Chris]

Please could you all set out your reforms in the following layout;

Reform1.1: NameofReform
what the reform is going to do.

Reform1.2: NameofReform
what the reform is going to do.

And keep on in that manner until your post is finished. Then for you second post you will label them Reform 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc. This will help for referencing etc.

Here are some Example Reforms you could make:

• Taxes; I would like to Increase the general Household tax by 20%,
  I would like to place a tax on business of 15%,
  I would like to introduce a road tax of 10% or 1/2 a gold mark.
  However be warned, higher taxes will decrease your popularity and may push trade away from your borders. However you could for example use a lower port tax than neighbouring nations, thereby making it cheaper for merchants to send produce through your ports as apposed to your neighbours.
  
• Military; I would like to buy 1,000 swords for my personal guard,
  I would like to recruit another 50 men to become infantry,
  I would like to introduce extra training sessions to improve my soldiers skill,
  I would like to build a new fortress here,
  
• New skills, I would like some people from this town to go and learn this skill,
  I would like to have so many people learn this skill and spread it through the kingdom,
  I would like to set up new schools in my nation,
  
• Scouting; I would like to scout my borders for towns and villages that might join my nation,
  I would like a party to go and look for ores in the local mountain,
  Iwould like to have a group go and scout for new arable land,
  I would like to scout for all bandits in my nations borders,
  
• Popularity; I would like to introduce a public holiday on this day to improve my popularity,
  I would like to have an illuminators display to improve my population happiness,
  I would like to have a parade of the nations soldiers to improve public support,
  
• Infrastructure; I would like to improve the road surfaces by paving them,
  I would like to build a new port here,
  I would like to build new sewers,
  

I will post some more ideas up here when i can think of them
