Units 1 and higher shall all have the same name, and the units of 1 and under shall have a consistent name which is different to the name of units of 1 and over, and shall last for 5 days.

While I am not opposed to the idea of a common currency, how would this benefit TSP?

For one it would fortify the region as not only a cultural salad bowl, but also an economic union. It would also make The South Pacific more powerful on the world stage by creating an economic powerhouse. The implementation would also contribute to the integration of the nations between each other. It would help to show that cultural *and* economic values are both very important. It could also help with roleplay. What I have forgotten to write in is an oversight comitee which would oversee the applications. Republic of Eflad
This is an RP proposal and thus belongs in Treasure Island, not the Assembly.

The Assembly handles matters relating to how we govern the region (Gameplay) - how we decide who the Delegate is, who gets to be Regional Officers, what the process is for resolving disputes through the High Court, etc - whilst matters relating to our nations themselves and how players ‘run’ them are considered Roleplay which is dealt with separately. What is what can be somewhat confusing for newer players, and there are grey areas between Gameplay & Roleplay, but this is 100% the later and belongs in the Main Canon area of Treasure Island, which is where some players Roleplay their Nations.

The only reason I can see this remaining here is if the region itself saw the value in creating a monetary system tied to the government and its actions. This would require a significant majority of the region (or at the very least the Assembly) to support the creation of such a system. It would also require a team of dedicated (and trusted) people who would handle the software for managing and maintaining the monetary system. Keeping activity and use of the monetary system consistent would also be critical if this is to actually be a law of the region and not roleplay.(08-04-2021, 05:31 AM)ConfedZaku Wrote:(08-02-2021, 09:59 AM)Belschaft Wrote: -snip- I personally would love to see something like this occur, but I am skeptical of the overall regional desire for this, and the ability of this to succeed in the long run. -Griffindor/Ebonhand
