City Coffers function as a central treasury where [taxes](/game-mechanics/ruling/claiming-region/region-attributes/taxes.md) levied on regional citizens are amassed. These taxes are deducted as a percentage from each [resource collection](/economy/resources.md) made within the region, ensuring a continuous influx of funds tied to the region's economic activities. \
\
Rulers hold the authority to access and claim resources from the City Coffers. However, this action comes at a cost to the region's order and prosperity. \
\
The resources obtained from the Coffers can be strategically allocated to upgrade city buildings, enhancing the region's capabilities and fostering its growth.&#x20;
