Which makes the typical "pay your taxes because you need the support of society" thing not really apply. It also makes collecting those taxes via force somewhat of a problem. You're probably better off proclaiming a list of deadly locations across your country that treasure recovery is tax-free for, encouraging such groups to go to them.</blockquote>
