Haha! Yeah, mine too! :P. Actually, I reall don't want it to be money 'sinks'. I want there to be a reason for all this... I was stated in the thread. Now, as far as taxes goes, they will be automatic. No worries there. I'm having a small debate over the need to have audits, or anything, but if it's sutmatic, I guess there really isn't.
About real estate: Yeah, I think that corporations and even idivduals should be able to buy real estate as much as they want. (Securing manufacuting facilities is a good point!) I don't really care if it's possible to own a planet or not.. so long as it's HARD, and you get burried under paperwork, and other 'Planetary Ruler' duties. It shouldn't be a walk in the park, unless you hire others to handle it.
