Child benefit will be determined by means testing of household incomes so as to guarantee that children are not penalised by low income households whilst helping to guarantee that State funds are not provided to those without need. Benefit provision will also fall by 10% per additional child past the second so as not to encourage people having children to provide their household incomes. Maximum provisions: 40HCR in food vouchers per week (provided by post). 30HCR in direct cash payment into parent/guardians bank account per week(to be determined by consultation with parent(s)/guardian(s)). Total income CB: 3640HCR per annum for first 2 children. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
