	A detailed breakdown of '''all''' the administrative costs involved in administering the Empire would run to several hundred pages and more. All these costs are fixed, in effect they are "below our abstraction layer", so changing the administrative costs of the Empire is completely outside the remit of the game. It is not part of the game design for PC senators to spend hours examining the number of chickens bought to feed the third regiment of the Granite pillar over a six week period to see if savings could be made by using more chicken legs and less chicken breasts. As a result we don't intend to provide this superfluous information as it would take hours to manufacture it, hours to read it and the answer to every single question of "''Can we change this?''" would be "''No''".
