Because regions can have cost pools it might make sense that instead of letting costs balloon indefinitely ("ah, if we just make every company a public company, we can basically print money forever!") regions enact a per-member income tax that attempts to keep regional costs at a stable level.

Note that this is less an issue when regions are small, because:

  • Many products/services will only be available in the market (not internally) and therefor
  • The more public services a region has, the worse its credit -> currency conversion rate will be

Note that this probably isn't a direct enough deterrent against public projects, so taxes still might make sense. Worth discussing and thinking about.

This might be the best answer for where costs go in public companies (#62)

This is somewhat outdated (regions) but keeping it around for when I do get around to making a comprehensive tax discussion issue.

Closing this, as I believe it's something that could either modeled as a manual process in bloc membership via some form of "invoicing", or consentual recurring orders (#136).
