The Solace Government is technically still a Monarchy, although it operates entirely as a parliament with the Solace Prime (the selected monarch) serving in largely a ceremonial capacity.
Responsibiltiies of the Government include legislation, administration of taxes and public services, and property management.
Legislation
Taxes and Public Services
Property Management
Property sales in Solace happen exclusively through the government (although there are some who deal in direct sales, it is illegal and generally difficult to accomplish without the right contacts). If any property owner wishes to sell their property, they may request an evaluation from the government, and the government will offer the citizen a sum equal to 5% less than its tax assessed worth. Similarly, anyone looking to purchase property would purchase it from the government for 5% above the tax assessed worth.
