As a nation: Our previous regime (The Great Imperium) commonly took territory and ruled the conquered land as if it were part of the Imperium proper, granting the inhabitants equal rights as Imperial citizens. After the Second Great Conquest failed, we swore off taking land (for the time being). Now, the most we do is set up a stable, responsible government (when part of an international peacekeeping coalition) and occasionally request a coastal fort on their land.

As soldiers: Our military is very devoted to the code of honor. Any soldier who steals or ransacks civilian property, even from an enemy nation's people, is sentenced to death by firing squad. Property of the enemy military (i.e., weapons taken as trophies) is excluded from this rule.

Not really. It's just that threads with names like these tend to attract certain types of regimes...

The moral high ground. Baiynistan's military is obliged to acknowledge universal human rights laws and historical conventions on warfare, meaning all POWs or surrendered opponents are to be treated humanely and non-combatant casualties are to be kept to a minimum with personal property and bodily sovereignty left intact. Any serving personnel found acting in violation of the ethical rules of engagement typically face stern judicial consequences.

The usual food, art work, treasure, valuables, animals, etc. Are troops loot to supplement their payment, it is refereed to as Prizes. Taking of prizes by the troops is tolerated by the officers only after victory is ensured. When troops return after taking of prizes they must return to camp and show their Prizes, the king levies a 20% "Prize tax" on all looted goods of soldiers.

In wars in which the primary goal is the acquisition of territory, we attempt to preserve it as much as possible, for it would be unwise to lay waste to our primary spoil. In all other cases, the Great Army is usually issued the order to pillage and plunder - in which case, the list of targets includes, but is not limited to:
  • Horses are a priority, as they are required for the cavalry and for chariots, and we have very few.
  • Other livestock, though a horse will always take priority if you can't get everything.
  • Captives, which will become slaves or gladiators.
  • Gemstones, highly prized.
  • Lapis lazuli, aventurine, carnelian, sunstone, turquoise, obsidian, etc.
  • Amber, of which we have very little in our Kingdom.
  • Silver, gold, other precious metals.
  • Ivory.
  • Books and Scrolls, since we are a civilized people.
  • Seashells, Nacre, Pearl, etc.
The spoils of war are, for the most part, not distributed immediately upon their taking - after a victory in a war, they are taken to the capital and paraded through the streets as a symbol of our might and our glory.
