Towny Distances & Nation Joining

To create a town it must be at least 1120 blocks* (~70 chunks) from an existing towns homeblock.

To join a nation, your town's homeblock must be within roughly 6000 blocks (~375 chunks) of at least one existing town in that nation (not just the capital).

This uses "chaining": a new town can join if it's close to any member town, allowing nations to spread out gradually as long as towns stay connected in range. Very spread-out nations are possible if players keep adding edge towns.

(Exact limit: 375 townblocks from nearest nation town homeblock.)

Taxes Explained

Taxes are optional but common for towns/nations to generate income for upkeep, claiming, or wars.

Resident -> Town Taxes (set by mayor with `/town set taxes`)

Flat tax — Fixed amount per resident per day (default for new towns: 10 Ducats).
Shop plots — Extra tax for residents owning shop plots (default: 15 Ducats).
Embassy plots — Extra tax for embassy plots (default: 20 Ducats).
Plot tax — Daily charge per claimed plot (default: 5 Ducats — can be overridden per plot type or exempted with /plot toggle taxed).

Mayors can switch to percentage tax (/town toggle taxpercent) — takes % of resident's balance instead of flat amount (server caps at 75%).

If a resident can't pay town/plot tax → they get kicked from the town (or lose the plot).

Mayors do not automatically pay town tax from their personal balance (they can withdraw from town bank anyway).

Town -> Nation Taxes (set by king with `/nation set taxes`)

Towns pay nation tax daily (flat or % — nation cap 100%).
If a town can't pay → it gets kicked from the nation.

Nation capitals do not auto-pay nation tax from personal balance.

Other Tax Rules

Max flat town tax — Capped server-wide (currently no hard cap enforced beyond economy plugin limits).
Max % town tax — 75% of resident balance.
Max % nation tax — 100% of town balance.
Negative taxes are possible (town/nation pays residents/towns instead) if enabled.

If a town or nation can't pay upkeep after taxes → it risks deletion (town becomes "ruined" first in some setups, then fully deleted if not reclaimed).

Use /res taxes to see what you personally owe each day.
Use /town finances or /nation finances to check town/nation balances & tax settings.
