Is that in terms of dollars or calories? Man cannot live on hazelnuts and apricots alone.

oh heck Yeah, so, uh I've put it where Amman is. In reality Damascus is about 100km further north, looks like about where the road I've drawn goes from being mostly SE to mostly SSW. Expect a corrected map in the next 48 hours or so.

Not super necessary in the context of progressive income taxes on large landholders. Most of the economic value of the land would come from the rents received for its use.

Delighted to be caught up :) Yes, it's interesting to speculate on the internal cohesion (or lack thereof) of the Triunes. I imagine most of whether they hold or splinter would be on their own merits - should Lotharingia or the EAN intervene, the HRE would surely counter. Additionally to that...
