Anyone can talk to my ruler, regardless of their citizenship elsewhere.

Past a free 30 copper ride on a boat and a "citizen's discount" (which all citizens get in the place they pay taxes), my tax coins seem to do nothing for me.

I pay taxes, but own neither land nor a home. What exactly is the tax for?

Where do my tax coins go? How will that benefit me, as a citizen, as opposed to Ed- who just arrives in Crossing for the heck of it.
