I'll Buy Some @@CURRENCY@@
Description: For some time now, @@NAME@@ has treated the United Federation Dollar as legal tender, and it has quickly become more popular with the average citizen than the @@CURRENCY@@. However, the United Federation seems to be on the brink of a recession, and, due to how widely the dollar is used, might take @@NAME@@ with it!
Validity: valid for nations that aren’t socialist, have a dollarization policy, have physical currency, and aren't on the gold standard.
Option 1: Economist @@RANDOMNAME@@ runs into the room, swinging open your door and slamming it into the wall. “@@LEADER@@, you must understand! I’ve done the calculations, and there is a good chance that both the United Federation and @@NAME@@ will enter into a deep recession! We cannot let the dollar remain legal tender. I’m begging you, for the sake of all @@DENONYMPLURAL@@, we must only allow @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ to be used in @@NAME@@!”
Effect 1: Anyone who doesn't collect @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ is arrested for a lack of patriotism
Option 2: A bored looking @@WOMAN@@ with grey hair tries to push your door and twists the doorknob so hard that it breaks. "My esteemed colleague @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@ was correct in @@HIS@@ findings. The chances of a recession leading to the crash of the dollar's value in a way that is catastrophic to @@NAME@@ is over 95% if we do nothing. However, we can start using the Treasury to buy up dollars as fast as we can. This will increase demand for the dollar, and stop it from crashing. There is even a 60% chance that a recession in the United Federation may be avoided entirely. With this plan, we can remain allowing the dollar to be used and enjoy the economic prosperity of the United Federation for decades to come."
Effect 2: the government routinely bails out other nations
Option 3: Wearing a cheap suit and tie, @@RANDOMNAME@@, founder of Zitcoin, strolls into the room, exploding your door for @@HIS@@ entrance. “Why have physical currencies, anyway, eh? So little privacy, so hard to trade with other nations, so unwieldy. Instead, may I offer the solution of Zitcoin? Mined with computer processing, why, anyone in @@REGION@@ can use it to trade with anyone else, and all completely private! Secured via cryptography, Daguo or Blackacre will never be able to interfere with our trade. In fact, tracking down your transactions will be literally impossible. Now, @@LEADER@@, would you be interested in buying 50?”
Validity: Computers, internet
Effect 3: transactions are more private than internet history
Option 4: Gingerly walking through the remains of your door, a farmer by the name of @@RANDOMNAME@@ speaks. “Well now, son, all these fancy-schmancy ‘fiat monies’ and ‘floating currencies’ and whatnot are really making the average @@DENONYMPLURAL@@ suffer, not only with the difficulty of trade, but also with rampant inflation. Now, why don’t we make it so the value of a @@CURRENCY@@ is based off of a tried and true measure: gold? The gold standard helps keep the economy stable and reduces inflation. Using it is a good idea!” @@HE@@ shakes @@HIS@@ head irritably. “And will someone fix this gosh-darn door?”
Effect 4: gold is standardly used as a wealth securer
