The Ministry of Finance hereby announces that it will lower the negative tariffs, until it reaches 0%, that is currently active to pay for any war and humanitarian subsidies the Foreign Office seeks to supply to our honourable and faithfully ally, the Empire of Ethiopia, if a budget deficit presents itself. If this extra capital fails to secure a balanced budget, either due to the war and humanitarian subsidies of the Foreign Office or due to any other project of Cabinet-Von Schwaben II, the Ministry of Finance will increase taxes according to the idea of progressive tax, until a balanced budget is secured.
Franz von Bavel-Timmermans, Minister of Finance, Leader of the DSU in the Conclave of Stadtholders
