I think we are pretty much in agreement that this could be a great addition in roleplaying, and perhaps create an extra dimension to IC gameplay - albeit an optional one. I also don't think many nations will want to alter their current national currency (I for one, will not drop the aurei). I suggest it may be attractive to create an opt-in with a regional bank, to officially declare a nation's willingness to engulve themselves in regional economics. Names for currency I have gone through are the aurei (Arcomo) and the carbon credit (all other nations I have ever had, except DSA embassies and the capitol). The "Assembly's Mark" seems attractive to me. It has the word 'Mark' in it, and declares it as ours. Definitely not 'dollar' and certainly not the 'CMKoin', as proposed in our RMB. |

I don't think any of this is necessary, though it would make for interesting discussion I'm sure (and so, I'm all for it). It's unnecessary because there is (as of yet) no interregional economy. We are not trading the 'Assembly's Mark' (or whatever we end up calling it) for US Dollars, or Euro's, or Yen; so the worth of our regional currency is not really relevant outside of our region. I do think a regional bank could be fun and useful, like I mentioned in my previous post. Eventually regional economical policies might come naturally as this whole idea integrates into our regular business. |

Why the "mark"? Am I missing something here? When I think of the mark I can only think of the former currency of Germany. |

Well yes, and after Marx, Karl, of course. Assembly's Credit could be fitting too, if we want to avoid existing currency titles. GMU might also work, but it's not global and suggesting 'globality' would also screw up my world. Regional Monetary Unit (RMU) or Assembly Monetary Unit (AMU) might be good alternatives. |

You're probably right. Marx just sounds plural and that makes it less attractive to me. Concerning this ongoing debate, I think it's probably wise if our MDA or MRP sends out a regional telegram for our member nations to come up with currency titles. Who knows what brilliant ideas may be lurking in the undiscovered member territories of the DSA... |

I think this concerns the Offices of the MDA and the MRP, as well as our regional leaders. So a Cabinet deliberation is probably in order. |
