A term of finance

Day 2,215, 03:00 • Published in Belgium Belgium • by JdlF

Hello everyone,

So today I was looking to some data on the BNB-NBB datasheet. I am planning a reward program for young citizens and so I had to know what was the amount of golds and cc availables. So while looking at, why not making a monthly report? Or a term report as I call it. It goes from the 5 november up to the 5 december (roughly the last CP term).

First the graph:

Note that Gold Value is the amoung of gold we have in term of currency (so basically it's gold multiplied by gold value [around 207-210 cc/gold for the whole month]).

During last term:
Currency went from 1,546,314cc to 820,929cc.
Golds went from 2,920.14g to 850.59g.

Important points:
-The first depreciation comes from the end of the MoF give away initiated by the CP when he was MoF during the previous term.
-Then comes almost two weeks without real impacts.
-Next big change comes with BNA budget, war expenses and a loan (that I still have to repay but which should not impact on the finances as it's a loan).
Day 2191: BNA Budget (170k BEF)
Day 2192: 50k War Budget for CO, 265 gold for top-5 bonus, citizen packs 20k BEF to Stijn, 150 gold loan to JdlF
-After that changes are either due to some war budgets like day 2198 with 50k for war supplies and laons for the black friday on day 2201.

We can say that big impacts come from war activities as loans have to be reimbursed and don't impact on the long term budget. It is important to ponderate the BNA budget as 170k were given for more than a month.


So let's dig into BNA:

Sadly the BNA spreadsheet is not a day-to-day one but an event-to-event so we'll start on day 2178 and finish on day 2204. Note that our current president took over BNA's first commandment on day 2175 so we are basically looking at his first month as commander. It is quite important as at first sight he uses less ressources than the previous one.



As you can see, the first week lots of expenses were made with 3471 quality 7 weapons bought in 6 days. Then on day 2185 4628 quality 7 weapons were bought as a stock. that was quite clever as it allows to make some cuts and it's also easier to manage stocks than manage currencies. Then it ran up to day 2204 where BNA acquired 972 quality 7 weapons.

As we cannot see stocks on the BNA spreadsheet it is hard to look on the monthly budget effectively used as we don't know how are stocks. Nevertheless we'll assume that all that have been bought have been used. It is quite an easy assumption but we should not be too far away.



Therefore if we do not take into account the last buy which should be preparing the next days, BNA used last term 82344.08cc. According to egov there are 44 citizens and 34 soldiers in BNA. Which means that if everything is split between everyone: each BNA's members received 1871cc during that month (8.9 golds). Or if we limit it to soldiers as it should be: 2421cc (11.5 golds). But according to some BNA's statements we can see big inequalities as div4 soldiers should receive 12 quality 7 weapons / day so roughly 120cc/day: 3600cc per month (17 golds).

Note that the last line is only based on the law being used last term as I have no insight of what's going on in BNA.

I didn't look over the repartition of assets for give aways and so on. Just know that most aleready wealthy and active people (including me) got the most of it. As for BNA we don't really know how it works. I press the commander to record stocks somewhere on the BNa spreadsheet and it would be nice if it was a daily spreasheet as it's better to compare numbers.

I was not judging during this report ... But some might question itself when it comes to war budgets which seems to be a way of lowering the treasury. Or also about the fact some BNA soldiers are getting the full package without the proper strength and/or training center setting. Meaning that instead of supplying them with weapons it would be more efficient to make them stronger on the long run.

Some facts as conclusion:

641455cc and 850.59golds were left for the new term of The Valeyard.
300390cc and 2069.55golds were used during that term.
46.91% of the budget has been used in a month.
BNA ran with roughly 80000cc a month.*

*Note that some stocks may have been made but are not reccorded in the BNa spreadsheet (certainly elsewhere as I believe BNA commander to be a good manager).
