FROM THE DESK OF THE WAR MINISTER
AND ON BEHALF OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE LORD CHANCELLOR
A PROCLAMATION
Following discussions following the Diet hosted last Tuesday the seventh of January, his Excellency the Lord Chancellor has directed the Imperial Marshal Cabinet to focus on the Drixagh Rebellion. Today the ninth of January the Conclave of Unionism has declared Holy War. As such, the following actions are hereby proclaimed:
On the subject of conscription, with the need to mobilize Field Armies to the front lines of the rebellion, even with the call for all faithful to arms, the Minister of War hereby declares a 10% conscription of all landholding families currently residing on the Crown Isle. Conscripts will be recruited from all private armies current standing in reserves in the homelands of each families' state.
((For OOC shorthand, troops are being pulled from the Army Troops cell to be placed in the Troops to State cell. Houses with 15,000 troops uncommitted will see 1,500 conscripted, for example. Exemptions are based on the troop placements as seen in the progression map when it comes out.))
On the subject of taxation, the Lord Chancellor through his personal prerogative has requested a 10% war tax be imposed on all states within the Regalian Archipelago. This will bring the mandatory taxation levels to 30%, which will go towards funding the military conscripts. The War Minister also takes this time to recommend private donations to the state coffers, both to offset the costs of fielding armies, and to reduce the current strain on the state from the previous war in the west.
The rulings of this proclamation hereby take the full effect
Officiated by the Office of the War Secretary
