BR doesn't state precisely who has the right to earn taxes from =
province. All that is written is about "regent of province" - in my =
opinion, "regent of province" and "regent invested with province" is not =
the same... Look, taking taxes from yor people isn't easy task. Law =
holdings in province means that someone has some officials, militaries, =
posessions in the provice - and if you do not have Law holding, you do =
not have apparatus necessary to get "your" money from other, do you ? =
(Or you have friendly pixies that take money from THEM and brings cash =
to YOU:)
=20
Law holdings basically represent the police in the provinces (or =
bandits and such if held by a hostile regent). Does the police or the =
bandits collect taxes? No, the province ruler has separate officials to =
take care of that. But the police or the bandits can mug the tax =
collectors and thus gain part of the money (law claims). Basically, law =
holdings do *not* represent the officials or the infrastructure - they =
represent control of law and order (or disorder), nothing more.
