Enjoy the fight wF!

"Instead, if the money supply is insufficient, we just print more money for the economy." You state no less than 4 times that money doesn't magically disappear. Actually, there's one way that it can disappear, and it is through "printing money". The government can't just issue currency - the currency needs to be backed. In a fiat system, the currency can be issued as a debt, but that debt accumulates interest from the moment it is issued. That interest represents value that does not exist within the system, and thus there is more debt in the system than there is currency in circulation, resulting in the economy having a negative value. Printing more money when the supply becomes insufficient is therefore counterintuitive, because you are further contributing to the loss of value within the system. That approach might work in a system with some sort of material backing, such as a gold or silver standard system, but it makes absolutely no sense in a fiat system.

I'd like to thank The Brain for the last 2 years I've spent with them. It's been great. A great group, who helped teach me the ropes of CN (and helped me rebuild after an unplanned reroll... lol). Looking now to the future, I hope to help the UNSC to become one of the premier alliances in CN. I will look to build on my experiences in The Brain while serving in my new capacity as Head of the UNSC Exploratory Division. o/ UNSC o/ wF o/ My friends at The Brain

Team: Maroon Nation Name: Tiberia National Leader: Octavion Link to Nation: [url]http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=343733[/url] Your Resources: Wine and Gems Need: Trade Circle. Preferably long term. Preferably Maroon, but willing to change if absolutely necessary.

Slight update to OP

As a note, I would prefer trades with maroon nations, however I am willing to accept trades with nations of any colour if it means getting a circle together. I've had too many circles collapse on me, and would like this to be a stable, potentially long term circle. I'm also open to modifying the circle if it would mean more interest in getting this circle together.

I've told you once, and I'll say it again. The Brain is awesome Bilzey! JOIN US! I wouldn't think to speak on behalf of the guys in the CNS, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind having you around.

O7 Jonesy o/ WuXing!!!

I'm in if I get the girl with the gun!

Moreso directed at the choice of avatar (Governor Harper ) than your post. Also, that pic and your post combine to form a sort of irony. Harper has shown several times that he has little concern for Canada's foreign image (poor diplomacy) and yet you are talking about practicing good diplomacy in your post. Again, Also, I never knew Freelancer had a fan club. I'd join, but I'm already in The Brain, so...

Nobody's posted a pic of a chestnut yet... I will make it my duty as a member of The Brain to add chestnuts to this thread.
