Koinon Hellenon: Athens X Sparta (.org X TWCenter), a participative AAR - Athenai

[Populus Romanus]

Arthouros the Divider looks so souless and evil with no pupils. However, as always Molinaargh is highly accurate, for I have seen Arthuoros in person myself and can testify to the accuracy of that feature.


Pvblivs Appivs Clavdivs Treasury Managment Act

As of late, Men of the Koinon Hellenon, it has come to my attention that we do not have any official managment of the Koinon Hellenon's Treasury. Both Athenai and Sparte are both able to spend freely, with no regard for the finances of the other. Even recently we have suffered here at Sparte from being unable to construct a new barracks, due to our general poverty. Our spending is out of control, men of the Koinon!



I PROPOSE that both the Boule and the Gerousia have certain spending caps placed on them. They should be forbidden to spend over a certain limit. Each polis will be given an allowance each year: 45% of the budget to one polis and 45% to the other, with the extra 10% being granted to the polis with the current Hegemon. Note that the budget is only for incoming profits that year, you may not touch the Koinon Hellenon Reserve, which is the money we have already. A polis should never spend over their allocated amount, for overspending will eat into the other's budget. Overspending may be tolerated for a year or two, but any more and the civil war meter will go up! In order to make up for financial irresponsibility, the offending polis would have to severely cut their spending for a period of several years to bring the civil war meter back down. Any leftovers from the year go into the Koinon Hellenon Reserve. The Reserve is considered untouchable except in times of national crisis. In order for this plan to practicable, we would need an annual finacial report from the Great Voice In The Sky (Molina). The annual budget of each Polis will be estimated using the total profits from the previous year. For any expenitures that cost more than allocated budget of that polis for the year, these shall be called "Extraordinary Purchases", and must be approved by both Councils.

Every time the Koinon Reserve exceeds 40000 mnai, we shall have a Major Expenditure Year, where vast amounts of money are to poured into the relatively undrdeveloped neutral cities, who have no Founding Polis to sponsor their development.

Alexandros of Sparta Amendment.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In the event of open war, the money will be spent on the construction of forts and improvement of facilities along the frontier with the warring faction. Those forts and settlements with facilities are to be guarded at all times, and in the even a garrison moves to attack another will take it's place.

The Pvblivs Appivs Clavdivs Treasury Managment Act would definantly benefit everyone. It would help the Koinon Hellenon Reserve rich and bursting, so that we may sleep well at night knowing that no sudden calamity can doom us forever. It will promote intra-polis cooperation by allowing Athenai and Sparte to collaborate on the managment of the budget, and eliminating any hard feelings over expenditure. It would give us more insight to our current situation, both economically and militarily. There are no foreseable downsides to the Pvblivs Appivs Clavdivs Treasury Managment Act, only profound benfits for all. Vote in the affirmative now, men of Sparte, or forever regret it when we go bankrupt!
