What was Aragorn's tax policy?
Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

Pretty sure there are no baby orcs.
And he didn't really pay the orcs or anything so I doubt he had any payments due.

According to Tolikien (and if I remember correctly what I read years ago), the forth Age saw the complete dominatin of Humans on the Middle-Earth, as last Elves were leaving for Valinor and Dwarves retreated in their deepest kingdoms.

With this, magic started to be rare, as anything mystical, included magic creatures like Ents, but also orcs, since they were only animated by the magic of Sauron. Not exactly like dolls, but it's his "science" which created them, and being magic himself (kind of), what he made was also magic. And since orcs were created, one gender was enough, female of other races would be used to complete reproduction (sexual slaving is a reality even now, you know).

So Aragorn extended Gondor protection over the whole Middle-Earth and countries who wanted it. But since magical things, good as evil, were vanishing, and since Gondor was the only really powerful country, things were pretty quiet during most of the Fourth Age. Orcs simply hid themselves in remote parts of Mordor, or under moutains, or also left for eastern part of the world and were never seen again.

Tolkien's son found a Middle-Earth map of the Fifth Age. Tolkien only produced notes about this last period, but for what we know, at this time, magic has completely disappeared, elves, dwarves and monsters are legends, and, in fact, Middle-Earth was transforming to become actual Earth.
If you want a geographic mark, the Mordor was partially flooded as it was becoming Mediterranean sea. But at this point, Tolkien didn't write much more, so all we have is what his son found.
