Presumably that could be banked, since tribute would be in the form of wealth.

For this turn Feanor I will allow you to bank, but in the future, until I have decided whether or not to allow banking (I intend to for the next update, but just in case) please spend the tribute money on the turn you have recieved it.

But for the Grace of G-d.
Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands, to all to whom these presents come, greeting.
G-d hath given us in these trying times, the power and the strength not to yield to the troubles, confusions and disorders which have plagued others. This Kingdom is not divided into so many parties and factions, that his Glory is lost in unceasing conflict, we should never forget that We rule in His stead, and that it is pleasing to Him to have order, peace and justice. Therefore, Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands, and Our Estates-General hereby in due process of Law, both physical and temporal, undertake to address the concerns of both Catholic subjects of this realm, and of the Reformed subjects of this realm, in such a manner that the order, peace and justice of this realm is not disturbed by tumult.
We have heard many petitions, from many, and we have declared that, in these weighty measures, the following, by this perpetual and irrevocable edict. Established and proclaimed and do establish and proclaim.
For this cause, acknowledging this affair to be of the greatest importance, and worthy of the best consideration, after having considered the papers of complaints of our Catholick subjects, and having also permitted to our Subjects of the Reformed Religion to assemble themselves by Deputies, for framing their complaints, and making a collection of all their Remonstrances; and having thereupon conferred divers times with them, viewing the precedent Laws, we have upon the whole judged it necessary to give to all our said Subjects one general Law, Clear, Pure, and Absolute, by which they shall be regulated in all differences which have heretofore risen among them, or may hereafter rise, wherewith the one and other may be contented, being framed according as the time requires: and having had no other regard in this deliberation than solely the Zeal we have to the service of G-d, praying that he would henceforward render to all our subjects a durable and Established peace. Upon which we implore and expect from his divine bounty the same protection and favour, as he hath alwayes visibly bestowed upon this Kingdom from our Birth, during the many years we have attained unto, and give our said Subjects the grace to understand, that in observation of this our Ordinance consisteth (after that which is their duty toward G-d and us) the principal foundation of their Union, Concord, Tranquility, Rest, and the Re-establishment of all this Estate in its first splendor, opulency and strength.
Signed by Henry by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands in the presence of His Magistrates, Servants of the Crown, Honours and Servants of the Estates-General.
Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands, to all to whom these presents come, greeting.
G-d hath given us in these trying times, the power and the strength not to yield to the troubles, confusions and disorders which have plagued others. This Kingdom is not divided into so many parties and factions, that his Glory is lost in unceasing conflict, we should never forget that We rule in His stead, and that it is pleasing to Him to have order, peace and justice. Therefore, Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands, and Our Estates-General hereby in due process of Law, both physical and temporal, undertake to address the concerns of both Catholic subjects of this realm, and of the Reformed subjects of this realm, in such a manner that the order, peace and justice of this realm is not disturbed by tumult.
We have heard many petitions, from many, and we have declared that, in these weighty measures, the following, by this perpetual and irrevocable edict. Established and proclaimed and do establish and proclaim.
I. First, that the recollection of everything done be one party or the other in the creation and tumult of this Kingdom or in the war most uncivil, and our accession to the crown, and during all the preceding period of troubles, remain obliterated and forgotten, as if no such things had ever happened.
II. We ordain that the Catholic Apostolic and Reformed religions both shall be restored and re-established in all places and localities of this our kingdom and countries subject to our sway, where the exercise of the same has been interrupted, in order that they may be peaceably and freely exercised, without any trouble or hindrance: forbidding very expressly all persons, of whatsoever estate, quality, or condition, from troubling, molesting, or disturbing ecclesiastics in the celebration of divine service, in the enjoyment or collection of tithes, fruits, or revenues of their benefices, and all other rights and dues belonging to them: and that all those who during the troubles have taken possession of churches, houses, goods or revenues, belonging to the said ecclesiastics, shall surrender to them entire possession and peaceable enjoyment of such rights, liberties, and sureties as they had before they were deprived of them.
III. And in order to leave no occasion for troubles or differences between our subjects, we have permitted, and herewith permit, those of the said religion called Reformed and Catholic Apostolic to live and abide in all the cities and places of this our kingdom and countries of our sway, without being annoyed, molested, or compelled to do anything in the matter of religion contrary to their consciences, upon condition that they comport themselves in other respects according to that which is contained in this our present edict.
IV. We also permit to all Lords, Gentlemen, Burghers, and other persons, as well as inhabitants of others, making profession of the Reformed Religion or the Catholic Apostolic, having in our Kingdom and Countries under our obedience, implicit the right to be Magistrates, Servants of the Crown, and Servants of the Estates-General, such that religion is not taken of issue.
V. And in order to leave no occasion for troubles or differences between our subjects, those of Catholic, and Protestant States be held responsible for respecting the devotions of the other even if they are in object to the measures, such that they do not observe the devotion, but at least act in a manner appropriate for such a devotion for the peace of the Kingdom.
VI. That His Majesty’s Magistrates, be empowered to use force of legal writ to intercede, and to be interceded with to enforce the observance of such measures, contained in this document, acting by under the auspices of Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands.
VII. We also forbid all our subjects, of whatever quality and condition, from carrying off be force or persuasion, against the will of their parents, the children of the said religion, in order to cause them to be baptized or confirmed in the Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church; and the same is forbidden to those of the said religion called Reformed, upon penalty of being punished with especial severity.
VIII. We ordain that there shall be no difference or distinction made in respect to the said religion, in receiving pupils to be instructed in universities, colleges, and schools; nor in receiving the sick and poor into hospitals, retreats and public charities.
IX. Those of the said religions called Reformed or Catholic shall be obliged to respect the laws of the Reformed or Catholic states, recognized in those states of our kingdom which are Catholic or Reformed, for the consummation of marriages contracted, or to be contracted, as regards the degrees of consanguinity and kinship.
X. We grant those of the Reformed and Catholic faiths the right to construct such places of worship as will be required, subject to this act and the regulations of the State for which they are to be constructed, but not in such a way as to make the construction onerous or burdensome, but for practical situations.
XI. That Henry, by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands is the Ultimate arbiter is such measures, and that his Ministers responsible for such matters are to inform him of injustice, conduct unbecoming and contrary to this edict. That his laws carry force of law, and force of justice in arbitrating such measures, and that his edicts hold the same force, except when they run contrary to the intent of this edict such that this edict is perpetual and irrevocable.
XII. We as his subjects, magistrates, ministers, lords, gentleman, and burghers, hereby do perpetually bind our families, ourselves, our kin and all others, to uphold this edict in the interests of the continued peace and justice of this Kingdom, and that we would in good conscience refuse to assist those whom would seek to abjure this edict of its powers, in His name do we swear this.
XIII. That Henry by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands undertakes truly and without hesitation, or ill intent to honour this edict and bind his children and his children’s children till the end of days and His coming to uphold this edict.
XIV. That those cities and towns for which the religion of ones Christian neighbour is immaterial, may in good course, suspend any provision of this edict, for distinguishing feature between the Religions, Catholic and Reformed if the Honours of that city or town are in agreement. We were in the course of this document made aware of such places, by the Magistrates, and Honours of such places, and for that we thank them.
XV. That no tolls, tariffs, charges, taxes, costs, or any other levying of funds by the Crown should be levied in such a way to discriminate between the Religions, Catholic and Reformed, and that no such action shall be undertaken by the States or the Estates-General.
XVI. That the future and current heirs of Henry by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands not be forced to accept any religion, but that which in good conscience they choose, after the age of majority.
XVII. That those districts, not incorporated into the Netherlands that should rise from the sea, be given unto the Crowns management in such a way that Religious strife shall not touch this Kingdom or her peoples.
XVIII. That the Religion of the Muslims, and of the Jews be granted, an exemption from the attentions of the ecclesiastical courts, and free of their authority. For that which can be used against one can be used against the other, and in the interest of the Kingdom we do think that this is just. We furthermore extend some small provision of protection that so long as the two live within the confines of designated areas, that they be granted freedom, of worship, of meeting, and of harassment by others, such that the law will protect those of good faith in the interests of the Kingdom and the Sovereign. We believe that in the pursuit of honest business, that it is not just for such believers to be harassed, and that providing some evidence may be presented of the honourable intentions that the Kings law and the law of the land in respect to such matters be honoured.
XVIV. That those for whom religion is a burden, and through no fault of there own, be welcome to this Kingdom, and be under the protection of Henry by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands. And that no harm may come to those, nor any molestation during the course of the journey, and that such an injustice would be an affront to Henry by the grace of G-d King of the Netherlands and all future Monarchs.
II. We ordain that the Catholic Apostolic and Reformed religions both shall be restored and re-established in all places and localities of this our kingdom and countries subject to our sway, where the exercise of the same has been interrupted, in order that they may be peaceably and freely exercised, without any trouble or hindrance: forbidding very expressly all persons, of whatsoever estate, quality, or condition, from troubling, molesting, or disturbing ecclesiastics in the celebration of divine service, in the enjoyment or collection of tithes, fruits, or revenues of their benefices, and all other rights and dues belonging to them: and that all those who during the troubles have taken possession of churches, houses, goods or revenues, belonging to the said ecclesiastics, shall surrender to them entire possession and peaceable enjoyment of such rights, liberties, and sureties as they had before they were deprived of them.
III. And in order to leave no occasion for troubles or differences between our subjects, we have permitted, and herewith permit, those of the said religion called Reformed and Catholic Apostolic to live and abide in all the cities and places of this our kingdom and countries of our sway, without being annoyed, molested, or compelled to do anything in the matter of religion contrary to their consciences, upon condition that they comport themselves in other respects according to that which is contained in this our present edict.
IV. We also permit to all Lords, Gentlemen, Burghers, and other persons, as well as inhabitants of others, making profession of the Reformed Religion or the Catholic Apostolic, having in our Kingdom and Countries under our obedience, implicit the right to be Magistrates, Servants of the Crown, and Servants of the Estates-General, such that religion is not taken of issue.
V. And in order to leave no occasion for troubles or differences between our subjects, those of Catholic, and Protestant States be held responsible for respecting the devotions of the other even if they are in object to the measures, such that they do not observe the devotion, but at least act in a manner appropriate for such a devotion for the peace of the Kingdom.

IX. Those of the said religions called Reformed or Catholic shall be obliged to respect the laws of the Reformed or Catholic states, recognized in those states of our kingdom which are Catholic or Reformed, for the consummation of marriages contracted, or to be contracted, as regards the degrees of consanguinity and kinship.

OOC: Due to lack of time, the story that was supposed to accompany this diplo is not currently here. It might be here, eventually...

To: The Reformed Churches of Austria, Saxony, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, the Rhineland, and the Netherlands; The Swiss Reformed Congreagation
From: The Reformed Churches of Bavaria and Bohemia; The Kingdom of Bohemia-Bavaria
In the wake of the war that, until recently, occupied the time and resources of many of the nations of Europe, we believe it important that the Hussite Churches now take the time to gather together and present themselves as a unified religious force on par with the Catholic Church. As such, we invite you all to join the Reformed Churches of Bavaria and Bohemia to send representatives to Husenic, the birthplace of Jan Huss, the founder of our movement, for a Synod.
We shall be very clear about our intentions, as well. While the Reformed Churches of Bohemia and Bavaria will discuss and finalize an agreement for unification at the Synod. It is our hope that all of you will agree to follow their example and the formation of a single Hussite Church can be realized; however, the primary goal of the Synod is to ensure cooperation and communication between the various Hussite Churches.

You misunderstand our intentions. We do not wish to encourage further religious division; we seek the opposite. In bringing the Hussite Churches together, our hope is that the moderate element will come to the fore and some sort of agreement can be made between ourselves and the other Christian denominations.

It is unfortunate that you seek to further divide Europe along religious lines. We seek an end to this rather pointless conflict, even if you do not.
