What is Up with the Monetary Market? (FIGHT IN HELLO KITTY)

Day 771, 22:30 • Published in USA Bulgaria • by Jewitt


Nation, sometime around 18:00 today our economy was attacked - or just severely bought into. With our acquiring Karnataka, we expected a rise in the value of our dollar, but not so soon. This has caused additional pressure on the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) - the chief value regulator of the U.S. Congress.

I was quickly alerted, of course, by about sixteen frantic congressmen waving their hands screaming of the end of the world. Earlier today we decided that the pressure on the CBO was enough to raise the peg temporarily to 1 USD = 0.027, to account for our acquiring Karnataka. What we thought was happening was that many were speculating the currency's rise due to our new iron region. Also, many new companies were being set up, despite the 50% income tax.

Unfortunately, later tonight around 21:00 many congressmen were screaming: Someone or something was targeting the U.S. Economy. The CBO was dried up, mostly from the Christmas Holidays and the lapse in proposal timing due to the season, so the nation was at her knees.


This is what I think some saw when the offers were being bought up.
May this be Josh Frost's evil twin, Frosh Jost?.

Declaration of War

What happened next is something that few could expect. I declared war on the economy (At least, the people trying to undermine our markets). With our fine Generals, we used a mixture of militant and private funding to create a "blockade peg," set at 1 USD = 0.031 GOLD, to prevent any further rises beyond 1 USD = 0.03.

Fine personnel stepped up beyond their requirements to perform when the nation needed them most. The entire United States Armed Forces, Max McFarland 2, and countless others I could only begin to name took their hard earned money and put it on the line to secure our economic stability.

And with that, I am off to talk to some Europeans. Apparently, they decided to have some war and invited us along. How kind of them!

On a side note, the CBO will return to full capacity very soon. Arrangements are being made and the U.S. Congress will once again have complete control of our Monetary Market.

It appears that a lot of people want me to tell them what to do during all of this. Honestly, the President does not control the monetary situation of the country - Congress does. My personal recommendation, however, has been: Continue trading as normal, except assume that 1 USD = 0.03 GOLD, and not 0.025 GOLD. We now hold on to high iron, and that means there is an increasing demand for our dollars.

Jewitt> Yeah, sorry 'bout that.
