Technically speaking, taxes are low in Acronis, however this is only the case because the social benefits programs are paid by tithes to the church, not taxes to the treasury. Taxes and tithes combined result in total costs to citizens being higher than the world average, but the benefits afforded to Acronian citizens are considered to be better than average.
==Language==
The most commonly spoken language in Acronis is Acronian. However, as a religious tenet, Acronians also learn Acronian Sign Language and [[wikipedia:English|Staynish]] in schools, which the Church encourages because it allows the word of Akrona to be spread to more people. In order to graduate from high school, Acronians must be fluent in Acronian and "proficient" in both Acronian Sign Language and Staynish. In 2020, as part of the law that gave full province status to [[Rodoka]], the [[wikipedia:Estonian language|Rodokan langauge]] became an official language of the Empire nationwide.
The Acronian language is strictly regulated by a civil government body known as the Council for the Acronian Language. It has gone through several major reforms, known as "revisions." Current Acronian is known as "Sixth Revision Acronian," as outlined in the Revision of 1987. Acronian is one of only two extant languages in the Tavari-Acronian language family, with the other being Tavari. Indeed, Acronian was once identical to Tavari. The family is a language isolate with no known relation to any other language families. The strict regulation of Acronian is largely a political effort to ensure the language retains an "independent identity" - which is to say, that it does not sound like Tavari. The two languages are no longer mutually intelligible, and in fact, many linguists believe that Acronian has become so altered from Tavari that it is no longer a member of the same language family and should be counted as a constructed language.
