Financing Legalized Prostitution

The Dominion of Oneel is interested in hearing how the UN plans on subsidizing legalized prostitution. Our nation now has increased healthcare, insurance, and law enforcement costs. Not to mention, our country has been forced to add a department to our Bureau of National Welfare to regulate the industry. Costs are estimated to reach into the area of $100-$300 million crankolas in the first year alone.

How does the UN plan to address these issues? I know I'm not the only nation facing financial difficulty due to this resolution.

Have you tried taxing prostitution?

Vastiva did not have to create any new bureaus. We placed Prostitution in the same boat as any other business.

We added some forms to the Bureau of Licenses, changed some tax forms, hired some inspectors, and changed what some members of the police force did.

That was about it.

Our last census had 40,000 prostitutes, with a tax income of $3 billion (that is, the funds the State received, not the funds they made).

We're very happy with this.
