[b]Money[/b]
There is the imperial treasury (golden), your house treasury (silver) and treasuries of other noble houses (you don't have access to those). Imperial treasury is used for most spending. Your house treasury is used to spend on various activities that especially affect your house (it's like your private money, not under scrutiny of imperial institutions).


[b]Finances[/b]
The empire gets money from taxes, Trade and a few other minor sources. Long term, the most dangerous is probably bureaucratic upkeep, which increases both over time and as the Empire grows. Also, Corruption has major impact on the income.
