Domestic affairs
Economy
Agriculture
On 10 July, Himberg would put 50% tax on every wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) from a farm not including wild ones only ones grown in farms. This would be a economic strategy to make banknotes in the Åland State worth more by attaching them to domestic products. The plan was for the government to invest into the farm and take back half since the goal was not direct profit. Wilmer Himberg would make a wild strawberry farm and use the money after taxes to buy the land.

Empire of Medieval
