[X] [Metics] Allow Metics to purchase property within the walls of Eretria and reduce their taxation [10% reduction in Metic taxation, -14 talents a turn].
[x] [Mission] Messapii Tributary Mission. Although King Artahias reigns in Neriton, the Messapii are not yet integrated vassals of Eretria, and indeed owe only theoretical allegiance to the city. If we are to transform a temporary subject into a permanent ally then we must build the institutional and diplomatic grounding for it. The Xenoparakletor will tour the Messapii lands and gain support for a more permanent and fair arrangement, all the while tying the resolution of conflicts and the settling of disputes to Eretria. In this way we can curtail Artahias' ambitions without enraging him, and even grant him greater central authority that he may wield on our behalf [-20 talents, If successful, gain access to 25% of the entire Messapii freemen levy as well as 10.3 talents in regular tribute].
[X] USER MOTION: Eretria shall send all the Citizens who had been given rewards for their eloquent speeches and arguments to Kymai for the sole mission of convincing the Kymaians, whether citizen or metic, of the benefits of the Linean Law as it would apply to their new site in the Adriatic Sea. They shall emphasize the sheer numbers of freemen they could gain from interested potential citizens if their entire city goes to the Adriatic as one undivided polis because of Kymai's prestige and because of safety in numbers. They shall emphasize that by numbers alone, if they migrate to the Adriatic as an undivided polis and follow the Linean Law they would quickly catapult to one of the three most powerful polis in the Adriatic, after us and Kerkyra. They shall emphasize that if they are metics here in Kymai, in the Adriatic they will be citizens thanks to the Linean Law. Emphasize that in the Adriatic they won't stand alone against non-Hellenes if they were attacked but they would be among friends, since they would be a full member of the Epulian League and friends with non-Hellene allies of the Epulian League because of Eretria Eschate. They shall emphasize that the Sybil of Kymai would be more famous the nearer they are to other Hellenes and Hellenized non-Hellenes, which would bring more money to the polis of Kymai. And most importantly of all, explain and profusely apologize to Kymai that our hands are tied because the Linean Law had been passed by majority vote by the members of the Epulian League and tell them we are willing to support them asking for a reasonable amendment to the Linean Law once they have moved to the Adriatic.
[X] [Metics] It is time now for a Prytanis to be selected from among the Metics to address the assembly [Metics will choose their own representatives to present before the city].
[X] [Kymai] The settlement will have the same citizenship laws as the rest of the Epulian League's new colonies. [-500 potential freemen, weaker cohesion, more rapid population growth after settlement].
[x] [Mission] Picente Diplomatic Mission.The colony of Ankon is now rapidly growing beyond the small plot of land provided by the Picentes. Although the town of Numana and its hinterland lies to the south, the northwest of Picenum is sparsely populated. In order to avoid conflict with the Picentes and ensure a foundation for new Eretrian colonies along that stretch of coast, the xenoparakletor will be dispatched to negotiate a purchase of land for both Ankon and future colonies [-40 talents, if successful Ankon's territory will expand and land will be opened up for further colonies in Picenum].
[X] [Mission] Amber Trade Mission. The Enetoi were Eretria's staunch allies in the war against the Liburni. We must know capitalize on this to gain a monopoly over the export of amber to the wider Mediterranean. Through this we can strengthen ties and open the way for a future colony in the marshy lagoons off the coast of their lands, strengthening an Eretrian presence in the northern Adriatic [If successful, Eretria will be then be able to construct a trading colony in the Venetian lagoon and a new monopoly trade route worth 25 talents].
[X] [Mission] Messapii Tributary Mission. Alothough King Artahaias reigns in Neriton, the Messapii are not yet integrated vassals of Eretria, and indeed owe only theoretical allegiance to the city.
