Taxes/Population/Income(auxiliar chapter)

If anyone considers that there should be changes to this I am waiting for your comments.

------------------------------------

Later I will move it to where it should be

-----------------------------------

Taxes in Westeros

Every adult favorite activity

The vast majority of taxes in westeros are paid in labor (peasant levies/unpaid labor) or in kind by paying a portion of your harvest

Which is 50% of the total harvest to your feudal lord.

Of this 50% lords must pay 40% to their hierarchical superior until they reach the king

50% peasants ----->40% nobles ------->40% lord paramount ------->king

The church has tax exceptions

City taxes

-Consumption tax 5% of total-----> 40% lord of the city--------> king

-Port tax/customs duties 2% of total ship's cargo direct tax to king

-Luxury taxes wine silk spices 20% direct tax to the king

Castle taxes

-Tax on fortifications direct tax to the king 40% of the cost of the castle

Tax on roads/bridges at the disposal of the feudal lord, but they must send 20% to their hierarchical superior

Mill tax 10% of the grain converted into flour 30% to his superior

----------------------------------------------------------

Population(I increased the population of the estimated 40 million people in Westeros to avoid a destructive blow due to the lack of payment of taxes to the church and the payment to the masters made by the displaced lords, as well as to make the conquest of the territories more difficult militarily)

3.5 million for the Crownlands.

6 million for the North.

5 million for the Riverlands.

6 million for the Vale of Arryn.

7 million for the Westerlands.

2.5 million for the Iron Islands.

5.5 million for the Stormlands

6,5 million for Dorne

13 million for the Reach

-------------------------------------------------------

AVERAGE INCOME: FAMILY OF 3

for the Crownlands 22 STAG OF SILVER

for the North 11 STAG OF SILVER

for the Riverlands 15 STAG OF SILVER

for the Vale of Arryn 13 STAG OF SILVER

for the Westerlands 15 STAG OF SILVER

for the Iron Islands 7 STAG OF SILVER PER MONTH (HIGHLY DEPENDENT IN RAID AND THRALLS)

for the Stormlands 13 STAG OF SILVER PER MONTH

for Dorne 17 STAG OF SILVER PER MONTH

for the Reach 19 STAG OF SILVER PER MONTH

After some digging around I found the income comparison that some friends and I made comparing the prices of Westeros with the consumption of Italians in the 8th century, this in consideration of common food baskets for people who were not suffering from hunger, since according to what we agreed most of the small folks would go hungry, or would be very short of food.

AVERAGE COST OF LIFE: FAMILY OF 3(IN BASE OF A RESPECTABLE BASKET OF FOOD IN ITALY IN THE 8 CENTURY)

4.4KG OF WHEAT/WEEKLY=60 PENNY

200ML OLIVE OIL/WHALE OIL/WEEKLY=12-30 PENNY

2 KG BEANS AND PEAS/WEEKLY=8 PENNY

1 KG VEGETABLES AND FRUITS/WEEKLY=10 PENNY

1L ORDINARY WINE/WEEK BEER/WEEKLY=15-25 PENNY

5 EGGS AND/OR 200 GR CHEESE/WEEKLY= 5-20 PENNY

300 GR MEAT OR FISH/WEEKLY=20-50 PENNY

HEATING/COOKING 2.4KG FIREWOOD/WEEKLY= 5 PENNY

SHOES/SANDALS AND CLOTHES(OPTIONAL)/MONTH OR YEARLY=40-100 PENNY

1KG OF FABRIC, LINEN, OR WOOL FOR REPAIRING CLOTHES/YEARLY =30-60 PENNY

TOOLS/YEARLY=10 PENNY

TOTAL COST AT MINIMUM 2,56 STAG OF SILVER PER WEEK

TOTAL COST AT MAXIMUM 4,01 STAG OF SILVER PER WEEK

CONSIDER THAT PRICES VARY IN ALL AREAS OF THE 7 KINGDOMS, WOOD IS CHEAPER IN THE NORTH, OIL IS CHEAPER IN DORNE, TOOLS ARE CHEAPER IN THE CROWN LANDS, AND SO ON
