The cautio system was first proposed in [[1964]] by [[Titum Visanesigià|Titum Vukmirko Visanesigià]] - a Consul of Caphiria, economist, and political theorist. He developed it as a response to the modern world's universal repugnance towards slavery and as the League of Nations campaigned to outlaw slavery around the world. Titum wanted to preserve the ancient traditions of Caphiria while bringing the slave trade up to a certain standard fit for the modern age. | |||
Under the cautio system, the maximum age an individual can be to sign a cautio contract is 80 years old and the maximum length of a ''cautio'' contract is 5 years with a single contract-holder; a ''teneantur'' may enter up to five total contracts at once however. | |||
Titum also developed the ''aequatio animae'', often simply called "formula for the soul's worth". This formula is part of Caphiria's double taxation system on the slave trade; a high uniform sales tax - 33.3% - is applied as well as an annual per capita tax that is based on the ''aequatio animae'' formula'';'' the formula is complex and includes factors such as market price, the slave's age, the duration of the contract, as well as extracting their theoretical maximal productive capability. The two most critical components of the formula are the "productivity quotient" and "contract quotient". The productivity quotient is a function of the slave's age turned into a decimal, and the contract quotient is a function of how long is left on the contract. | |||
Taxpayers with slaves who are under an active contract are subject to property taxes on the slave, as well as a $1,000 annual registration fee. | |||
