===Nation Ranks===

Nation ranks shape the structure of leadership within a nation, defining who commands, who governs, and who keeps the engine running behind the scenes.

Each rank is more than just a title, it comes with distinct responsibilities, specialized powers, and access to unique nation commands. Whether you're leading a kingdom, managing its economy, forging alliances, or honoring its citizens, these roles ensure the nation thrives as a coordinated whole.

===Closed/Open Nations===

Nations can control how towns are allowed to join them. By default, all nations are set to '''closed''', meaning that towns may only join by invitation.

The Nation leader, co-kings, and dukes have the ability to change this setting at any time using the following commands:

*<code>/n toggle open</code> — Allows any town to join the nation freely, without an invitation.

*<code>/n toggle closed</code> — Towns may only join if they are invited.

Setting a nation to '''open''' can encourage rapid growth and attract new towns — but it may also bring in unexpected members. Consider your nation’s strategy before making the switch!

===Nation Taxes===

== Nation Taxes ==

Nation taxes are an optional system used to transfer money from the '''town banks''' of towns in your nation to the '''nation bank''' at the start of each '''Towny day'''.

These taxes help fund national projects, pay upkeep costs, or build up reserves for war and expansion. However, using taxes is entirely optional, nations can choose to charge nothing at all.

Nation taxes can be set by players with the following ranks in the nation:

* '''King'''

* '''Co-King'''

* '''Duke'''

* '''Financier'''

To set the nation tax amount, use the command:

<code>/n set taxes [amount]</code>

Keep in mind setting taxes too high might drive towns away, while setting them too low could leave your nation underfunded.
