v0.2 - The Civilization Update

Infrastructure Blocks

• Tax Block: Generates +50$ per economic cycle. Up to 4 blocks per chunk. Income is routed to the city treasury (if the chunk belongs to a city) or the country treasury directly.
• Embassy: Links to a partner country via /politicsmod embassy link <country>. While not at war, each active embassy grants +100$ per cycle. Right-click the block to inspect its current link status and income. Now backed by a full BlockEntity that persists the link across restarts.
• Radar Tower: Scans a 5-chunk radius every ~5 seconds. When enemies (players from countries at war) are detected, a warning is pushed to all online members via the HUD overlay. Alert fades automatically after 5 seconds.
• Vault / Bank: Raises the country treasury cap by +10,000$ per vault placed. Right-click to inspect the vault's reserve and the current treasury limit. Now backed by a BlockEntity with its own reserve field — groundwork for future deposit mechanics.

Diplomacy System

• War: Costs 500$ to declare; 10-minute cooldown between declarations. Enemies may break blocks on border chunks during wartime.
• Alliance: Mutual PvP protection; allied players cannot damage each other.
• Peace: Requires both sides to accept via a proposal/accept flow.
• Surrender & Tribute: Losing country pays 20% of income per cycle to the victor. Tribute can be forgiven by the receiving country at any time.
• Territory Purchase: Countries can make buy offers on foreign chunks; the owner accepts or rejects in-place.

Economy System

Automated financial cycle runs every ~8 minutes:

• Tax Collection: Tax Block income collected and routed to city or country treasury.
• Federal Tax: Deducted from each city and forwarded to the national treasury.
• Territory Upkeep: -10$ per owned chunk charged each cycle.
• Tribute Payments: Processed automatically between countries at war.
• Embassy Bonuses: Applied per cycle (skipped if at war with the linked country).
• Balance Cap: Capped at 10,000$ + (vaults × 10,000$).

City & Governance Expansion

• Mayors: Leaders can appoint mayors per city via /politicsmod city setmayor. Mayors manage their city's expansion from the city treasury.
• City Treasuries: Each city maintains its own balance, fed by Tax Block income and drained by city chunk claims.
• Federal Tax Rate: Configurable 0–99% via /politicsmod tax federal <rate>. At ≥ 80%, mayors unlock the right to secede.
• City Secession: A mayor under oppressive taxation can found a fully independent state via /politicsmod city secede, provided the city treasury holds ≥ 100$.

Territory & Player Protection

• Block Protection: Block breaking is protected per chunk — only Citizens, Mayors, and Leaders of the owning country may build. Exception: enemies may break blocks on border chunks during wartime.
• Container & Door Access: Interaction blocked for non-citizens on foreign territory at all times.
• Friendly Fire: Disabled between allied countries.

HUD & Client Improvements

• Radar HUD Alert: A new radar alert line added to the HUD overlay — ⚠ Radar: PlayerName shown in red for 5 seconds after detection. Replaces the old action-bar message with a proper client-side payload (SyncRadarPayload).
• ClientPoliticsData: Radar data now flows through ClientPoliticsData, consistent with how country, city, and balance data is already handled.

Localization

• Added 5 languages: German, French, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian
