MoF December Financial Report

First, a little mood music. RIP DS.

To keep you kids' attention I'll start with the pretty pictures and graphs.

The overall adjusted treasury balance for the month (in IEP) is such:



Basically we're treading water. This is better then the slow decline seen last month but not much gain. That's why we're changing some things up (keep reading). Any real growth we currently have is from donations.
You'll notice this month we started considerably higher then we ended November with. This is due to the money the treasury received at the beginning of Psych0's term as part of Saint Yddub's will. May he rest in peace.

Here's what it looks like in perspective, since the October robbery:



Now on to the boring stuff.
This is where you tl:dr and skip to the comments below to leave your obligatory nugget of compatriotship.
Each of which I appreciate btw 😃



Some of our income (all shown in cc) this month include😛

MPP Supplements 25000
Weapon Sales 27343
Donations 63000
Taxes 108400

And some of our expenses:

Army Supply 137187
MPPs 120000

Supplies to the IA and Boot Camp totaled over 12000 Q7 tanks this month.

Many of you know the MoF makes additional income from various sources including the monetary market. That's been tough this month because it looked like this:



Hopefully this will either move over the .004 gold threshold to widen the % or possibly get some admin stimulation. I'm not holding my breath for the latter.

Moving Forward

And now the reeeeally boring stuff...

I have discussed some changes with our new CP in the way we allocate resources. In an effort to establish sustainable growth in the country and to regrow the treasury the MoF has created a budget. As you may know we have state run companies that employ commune workers for the IA. The new budget will be based on number of workers in the state run commune system multiplied by the current cost of weapons on the market. This income alone would only result in about four weapons per worker so the MoF will continue to supplement the Army supplies through other income sources. The level of supplement will be established by the CP and may vary throughout the month.

Having a budget like this in place will enable the Department of Defense to use its resources however it sees fit instead of using the existing regimented system of blindly doling out weapons that we really can't afford if we are to keep the treasury growing. Also, this budget can now come in the form of various levels of weapons or currency. I will work with the Minister of Defense to establish the most efficient utilization of the budget.

The budget will also include funding for the projected number of MPP's needed in the month. Currently, our monthly tax revenues only generate enough income for about 10 MPPs. Funding for however many more we need will come from our other income sources.

But Wait! There's an exciting part of the new funding system:
