Eslandola Colonial Council, First Cycle, 617, IN SESSION
Capt Wolf posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The campaigns for Eslandola’s first Colonial Council have concluded, and the council’s business will be conducted in public in this thread, unless national security merits private deliberations. For the First Cycle, the Colonial Council will meet at the lecture hall in Weelond on the island of An Holli in the Sea of Storms. The hall has been renamed Colonial Hall to honor this momentous occasion. Eslandola’s Admius Legistrad, the leader of the Colonial Council, is Román Esteban Fontonajo, Mayor of Nova Terreli and Governor of the island of Nellisa. The delegations representing the colonial regions and the trade companies are made up of three representatives each. The East Trade-Wind Company is represented by: Colonel Brickinson, adventurer extraordinaire; George, the brains of the ETWC; and Alberto da Pontelli, Mayor of Pontelli. The Merchant’s Colonial Trading Company is represented by: Willem Guilder, Eslandola Secretary of Trade; Aaron van der Meede, attorney and Weelond town council member; and Captain Philip Janszen of the Far Horizon. The MAESTRO Trade Company is represented by: Jerome Monezterrell, Mayor of Fuerto Unido; Captain Lamar Evercrees of the Santiago; and Farrucio Paraja, naval architect extraordinaire The Sea of Storms Region (An Toli, An Holli) is represented by: Colonel Oystridge, Mayor of Bardo; Victor Servadac of the White Glove Order; and Marquis Alkurda, scholar of science and medicine. The Sea of Thieves Region (Nelissa, Berreli, Ferro Azure, Torrach Bonn, Isla Philippe) is represented by: Román Esteban Fontonajo (the Admius Legistrad is allowed to simultaneously hold a regular seat in the council); Raphael Fontonajo, Román’s uncle, a scholar; and Joaquin Seramon Fontonajo, Román’s 2nd son, an explorer and adventurer. The Prio Sea Region (Isla de la Victoria, Otoño, La Sombra) is represented by: Lord Maximilian Damaximus, CEO of MAESTRO; Sir Yohannes Ethiximus, Mayor of Trador; and General Samu The Dragon, MAESTRO General of Prio Troops. No one ran to represent the Independent traders of Eslandola, so those three seats are vacant this cycle. Thus begins democracy in the Brick Seas. The First Cycle of the Colonial Council of Eslandola is now in session. -

Result: passed (20 for, 0 against, 1 abstention) Proposal: Captain Whiffo's Royal Property Letter and Tax plan "Until such time as the first Royal Eslandolan property may be licenced, or for the next two months (whichever ends sooner), I would propose that we put in place, A 20% tax on build submittal income, And a 10% tax on town banks, as per the good Governor's proposal. After said time expires, the treasury could be scrutinized, and any need for further taxation considered.
