MessageWhy does the Finance Minister have to make a budget for each year? Can't he maintain the last one?

MessageThat's because a budget actually is suppose to prepare government spending for every year. You can't use a budget for last year to also fund departments and projects for the next year as you'll run out of money or need more money. However you don't have to propose a tax bill every year.

MessageWe'll edit it to ensure that the proposal of a tax bill is exempted from that section.

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with.
