[Aleckandor]

All constituent economic territories of the Aleckandorean Confederacy - since the year 1996 - have been functioning underneath the Universal Three-Fold Land Tax Regime (UNI-3F-LTR, usually pronounced shorthand as 'Uni-Three-Filter"), a modified form of Georgist-style land value tax policy which is collected thrice at the local, regional, and national levels respectively. As such, most other forms of taxation - such as those on income, those on sales, and especially those on properties - are seldom ever used as a means to acquire public revenue, if they are to be ever used at all. The only other non-geoist tax that is still utilized to great effect is the Martial Adjustments Priority (MAP), a small biennial flat rate payment which every single Confederate citizen and lawful resident must pay directly to the National Defense & Global Liberation Bureau (NDGLB) — the department which commands Aleckandor's transnational military forces and global intelligence assets.
