A Treatise on Economic fulfillment, the funding of the nobility and the Theme system

Preface

The preface of this treatise will be kept simple, as it is no exhaustive academic article and contains much personal opinion on matters of governance. What is more, it pertains to Lurian methods of management. Those who are culturally and intellectually different to the Lurian people may struggle to access some advanced concepts. Nevertheless, enlightenment might shine onto any lucky enough to obtain a copy of this, and I certainly hope this is the case. May all realms achieve the same prosperity and culture that Greater Luria has achieved.

Firstly, I will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of a well maintained economic system, how to achieve such, and the various systems in place to maintain this prosperity.

Secondly, I will discuss the rents and taxes a noble should be due, the sizes of their estates, the arming of their retinues and how government should supplement those that fall short of such.

Finally, I will discuss the importance of the realm at large in achieving economic prosperity, realm peace and the efficient use of funds, as well as the structure of the realm itself.
