As prostitution is legal if you visit a brothel or hire a escort you will pay the regular 21% VAT. And not the 12% and 6% VAT for basic services, commodities or goods.
You will only be able to get the VAT returned if you are a non EU citizen at a border, if you asked for a bill. (But is doubtful that people try to get VAT of prostitution services returned).
Our used the bills to deduct them from income tax or as business expenditure.

In Canvalland, House of Commons have a Proportional Representative System without lowest voting threshold. But the party must be registered and have at least one office in at least 26 subdivisions including states, territories, free ports and metropolitans(half to total of 52 subdivisions) to be qualified to join the House Election; or the small regional Parties can join the Regional Party Coalition to get qualified as a whole.

The Crisis of Konstantiyyne (1853 a.d)


The consensus that the British and Russian Empires shared in the Alliance of 1839 had been threatened at times during the alliance's 68 year existence. Perhaps the most threatened the alliance came to being dissolved was in the year of 1853, namely in February of the year... The so-called "Crisis of Konstantiyyne" marked an intense discussion of the rights of both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians within the Holy Land, of which lied within the Muslim Ottoman Empire at the time, where Russia and France, representing both Christian sects came to clash with each other over their perceived influence over the ever weakening Muslim Caliphate.
The British Empire attempted, of which would be proven successfully so to mediate the situation within the Ottoman's capital city, British Ambassadors and Advisors giving guidance to both Sultan Abdulmecid I and Prince Menshikov, alienating France's, and Emperor Napoleon III's wishes in the Ottoman Empire... Both Menshikov and Abdulmecid proved to be rash and abrasive with each other, causing the British to mantle the discussion and negotiate an agreement between the Russian Empire and their Ottoman counterpart which diffused the tense situation and a potential conflict between the two powers that could have followed. At the time, the French Empire threatened that if war would have been seen between the Russian and Ottoman Empire, then France would intervene against the Tsardom. Britain themselves claimed that they would support no side in a potential conflict, despite the alliance they shared with Russia.

It was this, in the eyes of the Russian Empire and Tsar Nicholas, betrayal of Russian trust in the British Empire, and in addition the overt way in which the British Advisors to the crisis politically manhandled their way to control the conference and to see it end in their most beneficial way that caused tension and a risk of the alliance's disillusionment at the time, a wound that would slowly heal in time... Nevertheless, a potential war of 1853 was avoided between Russia, the Ottoman Empire and France. France itself felt insulted at how their influence in the Ottoman Empire was all but ignored, as well as their actions by sending French ship Charlemagne into the Black Sea to threaten the Ottomans in addition, causing a rift to ever increase between the Russian, British and French Empires, though Napoleon III recognised that no immediate action could be attempted... British and Russian relations with France would mend after the collapse of the French second Empire and the declaration of the French third Republic after the humiliating defeat the nation suffered during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.

So basically, if you haven't grasped this event by now, this tells of how in the Tsarstvo Alyaski universe, the Russian Empire avoided war with the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the French Second Empire in what is OTL the Crimean War.

TL:DR :: Through an alliance that the British Empire shared with the Russian Empire, and the influence they had over the Ottomans they managed to negotiate a peaceful end to the "Crisis of Konstantiyyne", of which OTL lead to the Crimean War.

Also, as a side note, any facts I had said for this thread before are now non-canon, due to a remaster of this nation that is ongoing...

Murder was extremely common in Hachlar tribes. Often quite trivial things would get you killed.

Being unable to pull your own weight was one way to get at least exiled from the tribe. If you were unable to sustain at least yourself and you were neither a child, injured, a pregnant woman, or an elder, you were a liability and were kicked out or murdered. The environment which Hachlars survived were dangerous, and added weight could spell death for everyone.

Hachlars are known for their charm. Whether its politeness, endearing eccentricity, sense of humor, or just good ol’ fashion humor, Hachlars are very easy to be around. This is due to the murder culture that has been a staple in Hachlar Hunter Gatherer culture since the ice age. People who were rude, annoying and not in the cute way, or just a pain to be around, were murdered, along with their offspring if they behaved the same way. Exceptions were made, of course, only for those who were important to the tribe. This led to a direct affect on the very behaviors of the Hachlars.

Thieves, disloyal partners, liars, petty criminals were generally murdered to death as well.

If you have murdered someone, and the tribe or at least someone does not approve of your action (meaning they liked that person you just killed), you would also end up dead if you fail to defend yourself.

On an unrelated note, modern day Hachlars tend to suffer varying degrees of anxiety at a disproportionately high rate.

About a dozen people die every year for eating toxic mushrooms. Anyway is common after rainy days that people get into the woods to pick mushrooms. Mushrooms are a very popular food. Being the lactarious and boletus family the most appreciated.

The first Antavianan Constitution dates from 1830. After the Antavianan revolution forced the Crown to renounce absolutism, childless and probably gay, king Francis I had to resign on his nephew Roger III that became the first constitutional monarch.

The Queen has planed to "selfincapacitate" for 24-48h to allow the new law that will approve gay marriage be passed. So the law will pass and She will not have to sign it and enter in conflict with their personal religious beliefs.

While Athenadom's government has little to no actual power, they still hold a huge monopoly over the country's main company Advanced Arimoda. This is because the chairwoman of Athenadom Azeria Dalmatia is the CEO of that company. Advanced Arimoda also privately operates almost all emergency services in Athenadom that will cost you a low price of 500 dollars a month.

Royal family members have to be educated in geography, history, culture, agriculture, economics, law, diplomacy, dancing, manners, poise, and speaking as well as train in using a gun to protect themselves at the age of 16, even as they're usually have a bodyguard with them. That said in all of history most princes and princesses hates doing at least one of them.
