Have the estate in its initial founding be no smaller than 96,000 acres. Included among its holdings: breweries, distilleries, wineries, vineyards, dairy farms, grain farms, textile factories, lumber yards, brick makers, quarries, foundries, iron mines, copper mines, silver mines, gold mines, mineral and gem mines, glass makers, crystal cutters, jewelers, ceramic factories, ship yards, ports, gun founders, etc.

While I slightly Oppose this Idea, I do like where you're moving with this party

It's inspired by historical examples, even those that continue to this day such as the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall both of which provide income to the Monarch and the Prince of Wales in the UK respectively. The idea that the monarch should be funded but not at the whims of any other institution arose out of the simple understanding that they could hold the monarchy to ransom otherwise, and that has happened in history. Financially weak monarchs have lead to some pretty violent struggles. The monarchy being financially self-sufficient and powerful is one component of a stable and powerful monarchy.

@Austin Pomper I like it, and it could be named the Duchy of Washington, or something similar.
