Before you start, make sure you have an enough money. Towns are expensive to start and require daily upkeep, and town members are charged a daily tax. See Making Money to learn about Rupees. Nation Overview Nations allow towns to join together under one banner, offering benefits to all parties. To avoid any confusion, this page will use "members" to refer to all residents of any town in a nation. Tax breaks Just like towns, nations have upkeep, and will impose a tax on their member towns. However, being a part of a nation will offer a tax break for the normal town upkeep. For example, a Village that is normally charged 750r daily will be charged 450r in a Federation, plus the tax set by the Count. Bonus Blocks Towns can claim additional blocks when they are part of a nation that are not included in the usual town block limit. Depending on the town and nation size, this boost can be substantial. Nation Zones These are non-claimed blocks that surround the town. They prevent non-members from building, and will increase the effective town size. These zones are a good place to add decoration or blend terrain going into the town. They can also be used for protective walls, just be aware that nation members are able to break through. It's not recommended to have players live in nation zones, as these blocks cannot be owned by a player or protected from other residents. Joining a Nation Coming soon...
