However, our goals within a Captured port would be to reduce taxes for all and maintain the Infrastructure, Weapons, and Fortification levels at the level they are at capture. We will not reduce those levels (or take a salary) as long as the nation we captured the port from in turn does not work to reduce those levels (including treasury) in any British ports they may capture. Ill-treatment to British ports will result in similar actions being taken against ports we capture from that nation.<o:p></o:p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size: 18.0pt;font-family:"Edwardian Script ITC";mso-bidi-font-family:"Edwardian Script ITC"'><o:p> </o:p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none'><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: normal'><span style='font-size:28.0pt;font-family:"Edwardian Script ITC"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Edwardian Script ITC"'>The </b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Edwardian Script ITC";mso-bidi-font-family: "Edwardian Script ITC"'> alternative to this proposal would be for a &#8216;free for all&#8217; approach towards Port Governance. We think this is counterproductive as it will return our nation to fighting amongst ourselves as opposed to our enemies, build ill feelings and distrust within the nation, and the end results will likely be the same, with the largest societies, those with the most influence, gaining the ports they desire and the smaller societies being crowded out of these options.
