Auto-Bailiff
If you, or an NPC are not administering a fief, it is done by the computer for you. This is known as "Auto-Bailiff". Bailiff was a common term for the manager running a fief. The Auto-Bailiff is neither particularly efficient nor honest. Fiefs run by an Auto-Bailiff will be haphazardly administered and you can expect a fair amount of embezzlement.
