Sort of. There are various online third-party calculators like NSEconomy which offer a conversation rate between your currency and the fictional NS dollar (or sometimes the US dollar which is usually said to stand for "Universal Standard" rather than "United States" dollar).

Good morning and welcome to NS!
Aside from what Radiatia already said, you can also make something up in your own canon, be it a Floating Exchange Rate or a Fixed exchange rate. For example, the Free Lands operate at a fixed exchange rate of 1 Gil being 15 NSD (the coins are of silver, so it's also a Currency Money).
At the end of the day, all currency-questions involve a lot of decision making. It is usual, however, in GE&T, to operate with the NSD/USD. You don't need to be an economic genius, though! ; )
I play PT, MT and a bit FT. I am into character-RPs.
My people are called the Selkie, the nation is usually called the Free Lands in MT-settings. Thanks.

It's not in the game specifically, but the external NSTracker has a service that will calculate the exchange rate between $NSD and your nation's currency, as well as that of other nations in the game. It uses a variety of factors to make the calculation, and I'd say it's pretty accurate.

Hi Drongonia, just replying to let you know that website no longer works. None of the calculators listed on NSIndex or NSWiki work either.

Hello, do you know what happened with NSTracker?

My region, Latinoamerica Libre, used to use it for roleplaying, but that is not available anymore.

NSD to nation currency

Postby Liberal Lusitania » Wed Sep 09, 2020 2:24 am

So... all calculators are dead and I definitelly want to know how to establish exchange rates for my currency. From NSWiki I can find how to calculate the NSD against the USD on https://nsindex.net/wiki/NationStates_dollar. But still, how do we get from NSD to any nations currency daily exchange rates? NS Tracker and NS Economy used to help me enough when I joined NS so many years ago. Having been away for a few years, I came back to find that it seems I just need to learn how to calculate myself, in the absence of such platforms. Can anyone help?

There's no calculator. You roleplay with whatever you want.
I think there's code fropm NSEconomy on some utorrents, but I cant get it to work

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to establish some differentiating figure, or even better, some parameter connected to a set of the nations indicators, to ensure enough variability between national currencies exchange rates. But it will be hell to calculate. Guess it is time to learn some python, or something.
