In todayâ€™s Economy, it is increasingly important that the Government maintains a tight control of the money supply.

Therefore, add to the rule “The Government” the following text:

Whenever a player spends or otherwise loses an amount of SP which is not transferred to another player or the Government, the Government’s SPs shall be immediately increased by that same amount.

Whenever a player gains an amount of SP which is not transferred from another player or the Government, the Government SPs shall be immediately decreased by that same amount.

Closed numbers make for better competition

I still dislike this mechanic, because I think it adds a lot of bookkeeping for no real benefit. We’re going to get a glut of recalculations when we look back at the GNDT logs and find people forgetting to adjust the Government’s SP count.

I agree that it’s additional bookkeeping, but I like the idea that we’d have a closed system with a leak (Austerity Measures). It gives a sense of a sinking island, which is kind of fun.
