National Defence; crime and punishment
Our party are strong supporters of the hard work done by our Sunspears, and thus we aim to support them as much as possible.


 * Our first step is to improve the armour, weaponry and other resources available to our troops, as well as enforcing more training and frequent performance tests to ensure the best performance on the battle field.
 * Using the current reward system, we will offer more privileges to sunspears who advance higher up the ranking system, such as longer holidays and slight pay increases. A new medal award system will also be introduced to Sunspears who show exceptional bravery on the battlefield or during an arising circumstance.
 * We understand that despite the capacity of the Sunspear batallions, some people may be placed in a situation requiring defensive skills. To accomodate this, the Sunspears will be launching a self defence scheme to educate village inhabitants in how to defend themselves in the case of an attack.
 * The capacity of the Sunspears, despite still being fairly large, will be increased. As a consequence of this, more bounties will be added to Istani explorable areas, as well as a bounty reward increase, in an attempt to encourage people to vanquish the foes of Istan.


 * Current options for criminals involve the death penalty, exile or release with no charges. These three options must even be used for minor crimes such as theft. Our party offers to create Istan's first prison for offenders. Anyone serving term in this prison will be provided with basic needs of survival, but will then be required to work to pay of the total sum or detainment, or pay off this sum after serving the minimum term.

Economy and monetary issues
Our former governments have shamed Istan. They have charged taxes for everyone and on anything, and not provided any service in return-instead choosing to acquire a substantial fund of savings. The Conservative party plans to change these policies in a role reversal, in an attempt to ensure your tax benefits you and all of Istan.


 * The current tax rates will be lowered in reasonable amounts, until a stable income is formed, ensuring minimal unnecessary public spending cuts, and funding increases for the things that matter, such as out nations defence and healthcare system.
 * Tax will now only apply to earnings, meaning unnecessary taxing of people who earn no income (such as self dependent farmers) do not get taxed. Taxing only applies to people who earn an income of more than 2000 gold per month.
 * Taxing of heroes, henchmen and fighters will be exempt from taxing, as their income is too greatly variable.
 * All Elder pay will be cut by 6%, and the number of Elders available to stand will be reduced from 250 to 200.
