Our executive council, the closest we have to a head of state or government, is comprised of 10 individuals who each have their own specific responsibilities and offices to oversee, and general powers which are equal amongst them.

What is the annual salary of your nation's leaders?
Executive council positions do not come with salaries.

Are they required to pay certain daily expenses (such as travel,meals,etc.)
Non-work-related matters are paid for themselves. They each have treasury-backed expense accounts, but these are not large or inclusive of all or even most expenses they might have.

Do they pay full and unabridged taxes?
Yes.

Do they have a separate pool of benefits which they pay into?
No.

What is the annual salary of your nations leaders?

The Imperial and Peoples Court decides independantly what the Crown Earns for its work to the state. At Present, the Kylarnatian Imperial Family earns K$6,000,000,000 a year. However, it is rumoured that there's a huge Crown Tresurery is set aside for the family, and is worth K$2,000,000,000,000.

Are they required to pay certain daily expenses (such as travel,meals,etc.)?

Their money pays for the salarys of the Maids and Butlers in all the Palaces across the Empire, all the food used to cook the meals and all the fuel used in their transport. They also pay for their own pocessions and equipment that is not needed in the daily life to life ruling of the Empire and State.

Do they pay full and unabridged taxes?

Yes. They are still, by law, classed as citizens of the Empire and State and therefore they must pay the same level of taxes like everyone else.

Do they have a separate pool of benefits which they pay into?

They annually make balanced donations to all charities which they are patron to, but they also donate special relief money to all other charities and to business's that are in the 'economic red zone' - in other words they're about to fail.

None, all necessities and luxuries are paid for by the tax payers. Anyone lower than the rank of duke has their pay decided by their immediate superior (who is also the same person who appointed them).
Are they required to pay certain daily expenses (such as travel,meals,etc.)
Below the rank of Duke, yes.
Do they pay full and unabridged taxes?
Yes, everyone pays taxes.
Do they have a separate pool of benefits which they pay into?
No. Why would they have any pool of benefits to pay into in particular? If you want to save for later do it yourself, it isn't the government's job.

What is the annual salary of your nation's leaders? Nothing. At all. He makes NOTHING. His multiple investments however mean that once he retires, his pension should be comfortably boosted, despite the fact that he'll still have all expenses paid for by the nation.
Are they required to pay certain daily expenses (such as travel,meals,etc.) No. All expenses incurred by the Dictator's accounts are charged to the National Treasury as Administrative costs.
Do they pay full and unabridged taxes? No, for obvious reasons (see Annual Salary), and also because Vortiaganica's ludicrous tax rates are only made possible by the fact that government workers, and pretty much everyone requiring government support, are often paid in addition to minimum wage with individual tax breaks.

their food and shelter is free, at their option, as it is for all cameroi, and as with all cameroi, they are free to make, accept, or trade for, whatever else they might wish.
there are of course no real expenses for them. ostentation is not a custom of cameroi culture, which views it as being in poor taste anyway. there are no legal restrictions on personal embellishment. overdoing it just doesn't favorably impress anyone. most remain in their own personal residences they have constructed with their own minds and forepaws, though official residences might be constructed for them by volunteers, should they wish this. of course there is no single person head of state either. "the" head of state, is the national council, which consists of nine members, none of whom, posses individual authority.

no "salary and expenses" are required, as all things are essentially free, to all cameroi. of course its not completely that simple. there is the matter of mathom chits which are like rain-checks for any tangible item that a mathom house may have, which are of no fixed value, but may be equally surrendered for ANY item, whether it be as simple as a warm blanket or something as complex as a large passenger or cargo space ship.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

The Secretaries of the Ministry Council make 100,000切 per year, or the equivalent of $116,000. It is actually expected to take a 20% cut during the next term due to 1) the new secretary positions arriving and 2) streamlining of every Ministry's budget means that the top positions get the cut before programs or wages of lower employees. (Some have even applied for part-time night jobs in anticipation of the cuts.)
