Capital: Aaslin (population 10,000). Area: 338,956. Population: 50,000. Language: Alphatian. Coinage: Alphatian Standard. Taxes: Notrion imposes the standard income tax of 15% on everyone of servant status or higher (down from 20% before the creation of the NACE, and about 50% when King Lodrig III was in power) and an import tax of 1% (this tax only concerns goods coming from outside the Confederacy and does not concern goods from Karameikos due to a trade agreement between that nation and the Confederacy). Only 7% (instead of the usual 10%) goes to the Imperial Treasury, to help the country recover from the civil war. Government type: Semiautonomous monarchy owing loyalty to the New Alphatian Confederated Empire since Kaldmont 13, AC 1012. Industries, Description, Notable Sites, History, Flora and Fauna: See the PWAs. Important Figures: Corydon (King of Notrion and General). Updates for the years 1013 and 1014 AC: King Corydon put an end to the old Alphatian law that restricted nobility to spellcasters. Now that the taxes are back to a normal level and that the power is stable, the peasants have ceased the civil war and returned to their fields. See Also: DotE, PWAs (esp.
