I am solociting comments on the following proto-proposal:
Department of the Treasury
AI: 1
Create a rule titled "Department of the Treasury" with Power of 1 and this
text:
{
There shall exist a POE known as the Agoran Treasury.
The Tax Levy is a percentage. At the beginning of each month, every natural
person who is a POE pays a percentage of their Currency equal to the Tax
Levy to the Agoran Treasury (rounding down to the nearest Agoran Dollar).
This is known as Paying Taxes and the amount paid is known as the Tax.
The Secretary of the Treasury may change the Tax Levy to a new amount with
Agoran Consent.
}
When this proposal is passed, the Tax Levy is set to 5%, and $10,000 is
created and given to the Agoran Treasury.
Create a rule titled "Salary for Agoran Officials" with Power of 1 and this
text:
{
Each Office of Agora shall have a Salary amount associated with it. The
Salary is an amount of Currency, and unless otherwise specified is equal to
$500.
At the beginning of each month, the Agoran Treasury pays the holder of each
Agoran Office an amount of Currency equal to the Salary amount of that
Office.
}
Modify rule 1504 "Sentencing Orders" by adding the following point to the
list as item #3, and renumbering all following items:
{
3) An order for the defendant to pay a specified amount of Currency up to
$1000 to the Agoran Treasury
}
Create a rule titled "Bankrupcy" with Power of 1 and this text:
{
If a POE other than the Agoran Treasury is unable to pay an amount of a type
of Property that they are required to pay, then that POE is said to be
"Bankrupt". Any POE to whom a Bankrupt POE is required to pay Property to is
a Creditor. When a POE becomes Bankrupt, the following occurs (in order):
1. All Property owned by POE is transferred to the Agoran Treasury.
2. The Agoran Treasury pays to each Creditor one half (rounded down) of the
amount and type of fungible property owed to them, as much as is possible,
and all non-fungible property owed to them as much as possible. If there are
multiple Creditors, then each shall be paid in random order.
3. The Bankrupt POE's Voting Limit on Ordinary Proposals is set to 1.
4. The Bankrupt POE ceases to be Bankrupt, and is released from any current
obligation to pay property to a Creditor. However, this does not prevent the
formerly Bankrupt POE from being required to pay Property to another POE in
the future.
If the Agoran Treasury is ever unable to pay an amount of a type of Property
that it is required to pay to another POE, it is released from that
requirement to pay until such a time as it is able to pay the specified
amount and type of Property.
}
Create a rule titled "Auctions" with Power of 1 and this text:
{
A POE may declare one or more amounts and types of Property it owns (except
for Currency) as "Up for Auction" by announcement. The Property or
Properties declared up for auction are collectively known as the Lot. The
POE putting the Lot up for auction is known as the Auctioneer.
Any POE except the Auctioneer may make a Bid on a Lot by announcement. A Bid
must include a specific amount of Currency that is less than or equal to the
amount of currency that POE owns.
The Auctioneer may declare the auction closed at any time by announcement.
When e does e may optionally select a winning bid. If e does, then the POE
that made that bid pays the amount of Currency specified in that Bid to the
Auctioneer, and the Lot is transferred to the POE who made the winning Bid.
The Secretary of the Treasury can act on behalf of the Agoran Treasury as
Auctioneer to declare auctions and select winning bids.
}
