Does the daily payout go to inactive players?

Depends on your definition of inactive, if you mean more than 30 days inactive, then No.

Quite a drain on a nation's treasury. If it does send to inactives, it wouldn't be beneficial to any nation as a whole. If anything, it would make Danik's escapades of pirating nations easier as a way to drain the treasury without voting. I sure hope you are incorrect in assuming.

Captain Jack wrote:Royal Stipends are daily payments send from a nation treasury towards a nation citizen daily.

*The payments take place right before the map update (approximately 10 minutes after the resources/daily update).
*The payments are placed directly to players treasury at hand.

The nation officials can configure:
-The amount of gold that every player can receive per day.
-The minimum reserves a nation needs before payments can start.

*For the stipends to be given out, the total amount needed for all ranks, when paid, it must meet the minimum reserves point. If not, then no stipend at all will be paid. So either all ranks are paid as the law specifies or no one, till the treasury can afford it.

Limitations:
-Maximum amount of stipend currently set at 5M
-They can only be sent to players that have spent at least 1000 turns.
-The players must be flagged as active (no way for a player to know this though).

what nation are you a part of lefty? the only nation with this law atm is Cyprus which I'm guessing was for admin testing. unless that's what the law is going to be when it passes in your country. in which case ill know when I check global events.

Quite the contrary : this law is the greatest tool for defending a treasury the game has come up with yet : daily payments get made without the need to vote or bother to even show up more than once every 30 days. The only way the attackers can stop them is a new vote to end them : the existing King can veto that new vote : so, the attackers will need both throne and voting majority to change matters : if used astutely, and taking advantage of the 75% rule, an attacker who makes it to Duke rank will not be able to propose any new pay-outs if the stipends are set to use up 75% of the treasury. And, of course, all this buys an enormous amount of time for the defenders to marshal their forces and plan their moves. All in all, this law, if set up and used wisely, ends the Golden Age of nation ransacking.
