NationStates Jolt Archive

I think that a good and simple improvement could be a better description of the currency, like what happens to the national animal (goes to extinction, is free in the forest...).

Using the Economic freedoms, the currency could be:
- inflated (weak)
- solid (good)
- world exchange benchmark (all-consuming)
and similar for each economic level.

It could be like:
@@Nation@@'s national animal is the @@animal@@, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its adjective currency is the @@currency@@.

The following is a player opinion only, and should be addressed by Game Mods who handle issues and/or Admins who handle game code.

Hmmm. I believe the national animal bit is part of Issue generation. If this were to be added, it could conceivably be done as part of issues. I don't know if the adjective preceding the animal is hard coded, but I suspect it is. Further reflection would assume that there is no corresponding leading adjective in place for currencies.

Given that a default adjective would need to be added, and several (possibly dozens) of issues would need to be edited to make this effective and fun ... I doubt you will see implementation anytime soon. Still, it's a clever idea.

Like Fris said, it's extremely unlikely that this would happen anytime soon, if at all, but it is a very good idea. While most nations can check the value of their currency in relation to RL ones on the many economic calculators available, many more of us can't, like myself - several of those calculators also factor in regional data, and The North Pacific is just too large for those calcs to handle.

I'm waiting to see what a mod has to say about this, in a moddy fashion.

The "Freedonian chiken" is my national animal, not due by presedent issues.

I think that is based on envinroment budget, or no? The only is that it can becone the national main course.

That is applied based on a statistic which can be altered by many issues. The "nation's main course" one is just from one single issue.

Ok, but then which is the problem to use the Economic Freedom? Like UN label, it could be simply created this currency option, I think.
