Addendum

Did the kingdom's financial difficulties have to do with all the bedding replacements and excessive soap costs? Probably. But that only raises the issue of how little we, by which I mean I but I bet you two, know about the budgets of pre-modern states. That means no matter what outrageous financial arrangements you invent for your fantasy kingdom, nobody can say a word about it. Go wild in the coming year which already has come.

Cost-Saving Measures

Henceforth we will slash our expenditures by referring to fantasy as fant and science fiction as scienfic. We will put that money into scratch-and-sniff covers instead.
