So? I dont think you understand idea of inflation.
See due to inflation, the currency becomes worth less. Sure your people will have billions if not trillions of kalaspi right in their wallets as opposed to ours NRS. 30-40. However since you have inflation and we have mild de-inflation, your 2 trillions of Kalaspi will be equal to $3 (For example) whereas our NRS. 3 will be equal to $4.50. So say for a loaf of bread, it will cost 1 trillion Kalaspi in Kalasparata, here it will only cost NRS. 1 - 1.5. Up till here its cool everything is similar (except your citizens have to carry lolhuge wallets)

But it means that employees will demand frequent wage rises (to keep up with prices) and if not given it will change to riots and if given, it will fuel inflation so brining us back to square 1.

Also because with time the money value will decrease, therefore it will cause people to buy stuff early and put it in stock so they can have more for same money. Therefore causing shortage of goods.

With high inflation, firms must change their prices often in order to keep up with economy-wide changes. But often changing prices is itself a costly activity whether explicitly, as with the need to print new menus, or implicitly.

And without inflation, our currency would become terribly priceless as compared to Kalasparta's. (Or at least very tiny inflation. :D)

"Never count your money when you're sitting at the table."

"Know when to hold them. Know when to fold them. Know when to walk away, and know when to run."

"You don't have to fight to be a man. But sometimes you have to fight, when you're a man."

"The old men in power produce war. The young men are the ones who fight it."

"A wise man armed with a pen, is of greater power than a foolish man armed with a sword."

"A gun and a kind word, will get you more than just a kind word."

"Always carry a gun, for if you do not, you have just fundamentally impaired your ability to defend yourself, and you will be harmed.. And those that would take such a right away, are themselves, those that seek to disarm your defense, and harm you."

"War is at times, a neccessity. Lest that make us any more fond of such evil therein."

"The wise man will carry a rifle, the Bible, and a proper heart. The foolish will refrain from carrying the Holy Book, instead carry a pistol, and be endowed with such an improper soul, as to try and harm the wise man. Such is the end of the foolish man."

"Take my firearms away, I dare you scoundrel! Lest you try and enact such, for Satan shall surely meet your soul in Hell.

"Verily, I say unto thee, thou hast been endowed with good moral purpose, do not wince in the face of aggressing evil, for you must pick up your sword, and strike down upon those which hath seeked to destroy the man of wellness!"

"I pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous."

"Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them"


"Those states which have forgotten those men who defended them, will themselves be forgotten; for those who forget their defenders, shall be lost to the annals of history themselves."

"Leftists, crime, tyranny, and villainy go hand-in-hand."

"Freedom is never free for the eternal price of such a noble precept as liberty must be payed with the sacrifice of our loved ones, our countrymen, and our brothers."

"Good will, and good morality are two of the most powerful forces upon the earth."

"To distort bravery, is to distort courage, integrity, and honor."

"The most powerful, most complete, most wondrously moral idea upon the earth: The Ego."

"Those men which would commit trangressive trespasses against our noble individual, must be destroyed."

Wochiks know this, perhaps, better than anyone. The Keddik nation is much too close to our fair shores for comfort:

Thankfully, most Keddiks are too busy fighting each other to pose a serious threat to anyone else...
