Administration

Administration is one of the five House Areas.

Codex
"Can refer to the house activity area, the role of individuals assigned to that area, or the skill used by individuals assigned to that role.

The administrators of a house are responsible for managing the part of the colony that the house controls, resolving logistical issues and personnel issues among the commoners that the house employs. In a ruling or leading house, the administrators are also responsible for resolving colony-wide or faction-wide logistical issues respectively.

From the perspective of the head of the house, the most important job of administrators is the income they bring in to the house, since they are also responsible for selling the house's surplus and for collecting taxes from the house's vassals.

A large part of the role for the administrators in a leading or great house is to investigate the affairs of their vassals to enough details to ensure that they are not skimping on their taxes. This is a job that gets progressively harder as the territory ruled by a house increases (see Vassal Limit)."
