OOC: This is a thread for myself to keep up with the budgeting of my nation's economy and what not. Responses are welcome, but not required. The Treasury Department also handles The Emperor's personal guard (like the US Secret Service).

IC: The Holy Empire of Cav's Secretary of the Treasury, Alex Hamilton, walked down the hallway to his new office. He was replacing the old SecTreas, Alfred Pointdexter, who had run the country's treasury very badly. He was the most corrupt man to work for Emperor Cav, and he is currently paying for his mistakes in a maximum security prison.

Dealing with a national budget of $25,534,799,640,000-- for Cav alone--, things would not be easy. Knowing that Emperor Cav himself had at least $1 trillion, the economy was not in bad shape at all. The Emperor was the first trillionaire Hamilton had ever met, and he had met a lot of rich people. Hamilton was one of Cav's leading investment banking firm CEOs until Emperor Cav asked Hamilton to take his place.

The first thing Hamilton did was set aside the costs of maintaining the military and Cav's space fleet (including the new flagship purchase). That would end up costing a few trillion dollars for the year, especially since Cav had recently fought a war in Higera, and was tending to some matters in Vladivostok Russia.

The total budget for The Empire came out to be $41,776,507,080,000 including the holdings from Judithville and the recently acquired Higera. Hamilton decided to balance out the budget of Higera, because of the reconstruction of part of the country due to the war.

Cav and Judithville were both holding enormous surpluses which Hamilton used to his advantage. He set up a fund for the surpluses that would earn about 8% interest, on average. This fund would have other surpluses added to it when possible, and would create a national bank account to draw out of if times ever became rough.

Hamilton got Emperor Cav's approval and started the fund at $3.5 T.

He then got to work on the new figures for the costs of education and social projects. It would be a hard job for Hamilton, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

Hamilton's job has been progressing nicely. The economy has turned around and things are going well. The appropriate problems were being addressed with the people's money. Everybody loved Hamilton and his work. For this year, Hamilton has been able to put $3.5 trillion in the national account.

Current total: $7.28 T

Hamilton deposited a check into the national account for $4 trillion. There was a major surplus for the year, as Cav had more less expenses now that the fighting in Higera was over.

Total: $11.86 T

Mid-year purchase for the Imprerial Space Agency.

Four Moroni-Class Battlecruiser

12,334,400,000,000 mid-year interest
(650,000,000,000) (ships and training)
_______________

11,684,400,000,000 new total in national account

$12,619,152,000,000 was reported for this year's national account.

Emperor Cav had spent $150B on 10 new space corvettes for use in connection with the battlecruisers.

However, there was a national surplus again, this time of $2.75 trillion. This brought the national account total to $15,219,192,000,000

Fifteen trillion dollars after just a few years. If we keep this up, we'll have a huge national account. We could be unstoppable.

OOC: Got a little sidetracked

IC: In the previous four years, Hamilton had managed to get $12 Trillion added to the fund.

$16,436,727,360,000 was already in the account.

$12,000,000,000,000 added

$28,436,727,360,000 was now the total.

Emperor Cav promised $2T to Kazquim for its space program.

The final total for this period:

$26,436,727,360,000.

$28,551,665,548,800 was in the national fund. Hamilton added in another $3 Trillion for now, but would probably need to make a withdrawl due to Emperor Cav's new economic alliance with Papua guinea.

The new national total is:

$31,551,655,548,800

Perhaps Hamilton would free up the almost $552 billion for Cav's economic package to Papua guinea, in order to round out the ever-numbering decimals. He would speak with The Emperor about that.

With $31 Trillion now in the national coffers, the interest earned brings the new total to $33.48 Trillion.

Since Hamilton had not added anything to the fund in the last few years, the surplus has added up. Hamilton was able to write a deposit slip for $7 Trillion.

New total: $40.48 Trillion, or $40,480,000,000,000

The national budget of Cav is growing, as the population rises and GDP stays the same. More money equates to better social programs, but there is always still some left over. This year, Hamilton deposited $3.5 Trilion

New total: $47,218,400,000,000

Over the last few years, Hamilton has put in a total of $30 Trillion into the account.

$80 trillion (after the years of interest)

plus the $30 trillion=

$110 trillion or

$110,000,000,000,000

In order to curb inflation, Hamilton decided to limit the amount of interest that can be gained on the fund. Consequentially, Hamilton-- on Emperor Cav's suggestion-- will no longer add money to the fund. The trillions of dollars will now go towards new programs in Cav.

If any new donations are necessary, Hamilton is authorized to deposit.

$207.5 billion was withdrawn and transferred for the purchase of new fighters and space vehicles from the KARS storefront.

$109.7925 trillion is now in the fund.
