What's her tax policy?

>>149276680 (OP)
What the fuck is there to tax in Arendelle?
Denmarks bread and butter was charging a toll for ships to get in and out of the Baltic.

>Send five billion north-bucks to Northuldra immediately!

Some feel it's a bit cold

>>149276680 (OP)
We know nothing about her reign and the policies she pursued, not about taxes, not about relations with other countries, NOTHING at all.
Disney is so used to showing stories about Princesses that they don't know how to tell a story about a Queen.
That's why they spend more time on Anna and her daily life than showing how Elsa rules her country, which in my opinion is a huge relief that our girl should appear on the screen at least once, ruling her people and state.

>We know nothing about her reign and the policies she pursued, not about taxes, not about relations with other countries, NOTHING at all.

Because the target audience DOESN'T CARE. See >>149276727

>>149276972
>target audience DOESN'T CARE
WRONG!

Children and young audiences love to watch Kings and Queens doing cool things on their throne, how they rule and command an army for example, it looks damn cool and pompous, children love this, if children saw Elsa on a horse at the head of an army giving commands to her guards, they would squeal with joy, both girls and boys.

>>149277012
They don't want to see the king sitting through boring meetings about taxes and shit. This is a children's movie, made to entertain children, not persnickety whiners who can't stop asking stupid fucking questions like "What's Elsa's tax policy?" or "What do people in Pallet Town eat?" or "Why didn't they just prevent the entire plot from happening before it even started?". Now...

>>149276727

TAKE YOUR FUCKING MEDS ALREADY.

>>149277012
>Queens doing cool things on their throne.
I want to see Elsa do this scene sitting on her throne.

>>149276680 (OP)
Given the time period, Arendelle is probably funded mostly by tariffs, tolls and dues, but might also have a land tax since Arendelle is Nordic based and Norway had one.

Did they ever establish the ruling house's name? I've seen "Frosberg" tossed around a few times, but I'm not sure if it's canon.

Why did you act like that, what is your problem dude ?

>>149277012
>Elsa on a horse at the head of an army.
They won't show it because for them militarism is bad.

>>149276894
They could have just shown how tired Elsa is of running the country, and how she is happy to goofing a bit with Anna at the end of the day to relax and take her mind off royal affairs, but the stupid script makes it feel like Elsa is doing nothing all day.

>>149277012
No no Anon, they like the parts where the king or queen make an epic speech, do epic "cour politics" and mustering armies,exciting shit. Not the part where the king or queen signs a document fully stating that lord vromplefoopysharten owns a shitty little backwater property now

>>149276680 (OP)
She's royalty. Her subjects are basically slaves.

>>149277165
>Why did you act like that, what is your problem dude ?

Because I'm sick of seeing people ask the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Always the same pointless questions about pointless shit that nobody who isn't terminally autistic cares about, and that the target audience of the work in question certainly doesn't care about. And the autists asking those questions already know the answers, because they've been answered a million times, BUT THEY KEEP FUCKING ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. It's like an infinite army of robots that runs on pure autism, running the same program endlessly.

>>149277292
No

>>149277297
Do you think that the people who made this movie give a single fuck about any of the banal horse shit being discussed in this thread? If they don't care, why do you?

>Males must pay tribute by coming in my ice pussy once a quarter. For every female in the family, an extra tribute must be paid.

So what would Elsa's fate have been if nobody came to search for her in her crystal palace?

>>149276680 (OP)
Isn't Arendelle a port city? Its economy is tied to its trading fleet.

The film appears to take place roughly in the early 19th century, Bernadotte would have been King of Sweden.
Oldenborg in Denmark
Hohenzollern along the Pomerianian coast.
Hans and his brothers are probably a cadet branch of the Hohenzollerns considering how nasty they are.

I clearly obsess over European Military History too.
How would Elsas powers have affected the Schleswig-Holstein problem?

sister rimming

>>149277348
She would slowly become evil, gradually turning into the classic image of the snow queen.

>>149277403
Said the guy in the /co/ thread

>>149277515
Frozen 2 should have taken elements from the Kalevala.
Louhi could have been a dark reflection of Elsa, showing what someone with her kind of powers could have become without love.
Also it should have had Väinämöinen, because he is the man.

Assuming Arendelle is meant to exist in our world, it honestly doesn't make much sense.
It barely seems to be bigger than a city state, and from what we can glean from the environment, it would be located pretty far north in Norway, so somehow it would have managed to remain independent during the viking unification of Norway, while being tiny as fuck, and located in one of the most remote places on Earth at the time.
Only explanation that makes any sense is that the ruling family is kept in power by some sort of magic. Maybe even being decedent from trolls themselves.

>>149277642
I assumed it was in the Baltic somewheres since Andersen was Danish.

>>149277651
Andersen was indeed Danish, but the Snow Queen is set in Norway.
And Arendelle is way too mountainous to be in the Baltic.

>>149277705
In that case it's probably just too backwater for anyone to give a shit about.

>>149276680 (OP)
Hopefully she gives reasonable taxes for People based on their income level and not give super big tax breaks for the rich making the poor pay for most of the economy and the government expenditures even though the Rich people own more money than the poor population .

>>149277756
Still feels weird that they wouldn't have gotten swallowed up during the unification period, since even the fucking Sami didn't manage to dodge it.
I guess they could have broke away at a later date, maybe some duke or whatever wanting more power, but they would have had to have gotten serious support from a big outside power for a revolt like that to not just get put down.
It's not like this is one of those small HRE city states that's surrounded by hundreds just like it.

I'm surprised nobody has done Game of Disney Thrones.

>>149277897
I think Disney had done some stuff for little girls of Disney princesses hanging out even ones who are genuinely Queens by most standards.

>>149277897
I have a bone to pick with those books too, don't worry

>>149277910
I was think more like a quest.

>>149277910
How about splitting the difference with a Princess Regent?
I think Monaco has had that happen.

>>149277123
I think they're name would just be the name of the place they rule, the House of Arendelle or something.

>>149277642
Yknow i'm also wondering where Weselton is, and "The Southern Isles" for all we know it could be some sort of alternate history

>>149278513
Where would the other princesses fit in?

>>149277012
disney missed their fucking chance, all that is anna's job now

>>149276680 (OP)
Ice tax upon all citizens
Quarterly Snow tax

>>149277352
Southern Norway was not a part of the Swedish empire though.

>>149276830
HA!

>>149277642
If I was in charge of Frozen, I would have the Arendelle royal family be of an ice magic bloodline. Elsa's situation has happened before. The book with the picture of removing ice from a soldier? Common occurrence. The hand shackles? No way they were commissioned and made by Hans in such a short period of time. King Runeard hates magic because his sister, a Snow Queen herself, destroyed the original castle, thus why they were building anew thirty-something years before Elsa was crowned queen.

>>149281060
I'd worship those toes

but only if she ordered me to

BUMP

>>149276680 (OP)
I wonder how powerful Arendelle's military is

>>149276680 (OP)
Elsa: Tax? Wha- I just got this jub cuz I'm the last one standing and I'm more domineering than my normie sister. I don't know how to run a fuckin' COUNTRY...is it even CALLED a country anymore when you accidentally froze the citizens to death and buried them under snow during your "coming out" song?

>>149285644

>Spent her entire childhood and youth in the palace, studying, reading books and preparing to rule the country after reaching adulthood.
>Becomes the rightful queen.
>OH SHEEEEEET... I CAN'T... I CAN'T RULE... UHHHHHH.

Is she autistic or something?

>>149286587
Just mwntal about her cool ass ice powers

>>149285431
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to mod total warhammer 3 into Frozen?

>>149281060
I never noticed how uncomfortable those ice spikes on her heels look.

>>149286587
>Is she autistic or something?
Yes she is.

>>149285431
It seems they don't have an Army, but rather something like a Guard/Police to maintain order and that's it. Anons here say that Arendelle is a city state, but it seems to me that its borders are a bit bigger, after all, there should be some villages and settlements around there, by the way, is the Enchanted Forest in whose territorial possessions?
If Runard built platinums there and moved with his guards, then this means that these are the Lands of the kingdom of Arendelle, and they traveled to the Forest for several days (a day, I think), so yes, Arendelle and its borders are bigger than it seems.

By the way, do Northuldra pay taxes?

>>149286587
>Is she autistic or something?
Just one of the many reasons Elsa is perfect.

>>149286587
>Is she autistic or something?
Her most well known song is about her giving up masking for social convenience and letting her be herself.
You can't get any more autism-coded than that.

>>149285431
Theore5ically insanely powerful based on Elsa's powers, is she can CREATE LIFE and control storms then a lot of baddies would be wiped. It would be a glass cannon tough, if something with longer range could hit her and her constructs are made of snow and ice.

>>149286911
>I never noticed how uncomfortable those ice spikes on her heels look.
Maybe her ice powers help her bear it somehow?

>>149286587
>studying, reading books and preparing to rule the country
Bro...I only saw the movie twice, but I don't remember them sitting down at daddy's elbows at negotiating tables, or going over the country's finances with the book keepers. I just saw them doing carefree girl shit. Maybe the home release added some deleted scenes or some shit, but I'm just saying. Pretty sure their parents were just going to have whoever married the oldest daughter do the ruling (because HE would have been the one getting an education on ruling a country, while his queen's job is to spread 'em and produce heirs), and didn't teach these girls jack-shit.

>>149288193
Her powers help with the cold, but I think the sharpness would still be an issue.

It's snow joke

>>149277348
Have you ever watched The Shining?

>>149276680 (OP)
Arendelle's economy is based on exporting ice.
We see it's a commercial operation right at the beginning of the movie.
It was extremely profitable until mechanical refrigeration was invented.

>>149290431
Huh, that's pretty cool actually

>>149290431
Imagine the faces of all those ice workers when it turned out that their queen could create unlimited amounts of pure ice right in the city, ready to shipment.

>>149276711
>What the fuck is there to tax in Arendelle?
Ice and snow.
