We base it on fiat money. Surprisingly, we only relied on how good or bad prices and the economy was even during 1556.

The Provencal Franc used to be back up by silver, although we changed to the Fiat system in 1936, around the time most other countries did.

So people's money can quite literally "go up in smoke"?

If people want to blow their money that way, sure.

The government stores its fireworks stock in triple secure warehouses, so nothing goes wrong, there.

If you want to exchange hard cash for fireworks, you go to the National Bank, or its website, fill in a form, exchange the form for a numbered receipt, take the receipt to the fireworks warehouse or your choice, and exchange the receipt and your hard cash for your desired fireworks.

Of course, you're not allowed to transport fireworks by public transportation (We learned that lesson when a bus went of the road, and colorfully exploded...), so you'll have to go there by personal transportation.
Yannia's nation page contains an error. The population should be in millions, not in billions.
