 text  : "Forums provide government offices in the outer regions of your city. Their main function is to employ tax collectors, so use the @Commerce Overlay& to find housing with inadequate tax coverage, and build a forum to send out tax collectors to plug any gaps.\nAsk your @Finances Advisor& what percentage of your populace is on the tax rolls. If it is much below 100 percent, check that your senate and forums are functioning, and use the overlay to see which houses are not paying their dues.\n\nMoney collected in taxes is stored in vaults under forums until its removal at the end of a year. This can make forums a target for criminals, so guard them well.\nForums are desirable neighbors, and need road and labor access.\nFollow these links to learn more about the role of @money&, or read a short @history of forums& in the Roman Empire."
