Indeed. We've also noticed that Thanatasia is offering anonymity and other services that differ from WTI's bank, and that they may have other reasons for opening it than you think. Also, be aware that WTI's bank was not the first NS-wide bank offered, nor judging by this topic, the last.

[OOC] Let other people RP what they want, Hobbeebia/Raven corps/WTI. How does it hurt you?

A lot of people use Microsoft Windows, but even that has competition :rolleyes:

I hate people like you.

The Thanatasian Ministry of Foriegn Affairs conducted a rare press-release this morning to announce the beginning of an international ad campaign to promote awareness and benefits of its newly establish National Bank of Thantasia.

Deputy Secretary Ernesto Sandoval, taking a step considered unprecedented for the fledgling republic, welcomed the international press corps to the unveiling of a symposium detailing the particulars of the institution. Among the more compelling items was a so-called 'infomercial" detailing the comparative advantages of the National Bank of Thanatasia, compared to others.

These included such benefits as their highly-acclaimed enforcement of full-anonymity for all transactions. When pressed for details about why specifically this service would be offered, Secretary Sandoval said, "Well, speaking in a strictly hypothetical manner, there are many people's insurrectionary groups and movements throughout the world who have caught the attention of potential benefactors. Occasionally, these gracious 'benefactors' to popular movements against bourgeoise imperialism, find themselves desiring a measure of 'discretion' in their affairs."

When pressed further by reporters as to whether or not this was a veiled reference to an existing type of transaction conducted by the Bank, Sandoval replied with "No Comment."

Secretary Sandoval then went on to discuss other advantages offered to the Bank's customers, namely the lack of compounded interest on state loans. In Sandoval's words, the People's Republic of Thantasia abhors such exploitative measures as interest collection in loans, insisting merely on holding whatever initial collateral provided in the event of defaulting.

"Things have been going quite well for our wonderful new venture," boasted Sandoval. "We hope to prove that our nation can serve as a shinning example of a reconciliation between the principles of capitalist prosperity and industrious, with socialist humanism."

"Sally, did ya see the writeup on this new Thanatasian Bank? I about busted out laughing."

Sally giggled. She hated when she did that, because it made her sound so much younger than a Senior Account Exec should. "Hehehe ... no interest ... anonymity guaranteed ... these guys won't be around long, Brad."

Brad folded the section and tore out the article, pinning it next to his Dilbert collection. "What kind of organization advertises their anonymous services? Every anti-terrorist organization in the world will be tracking Thanatasian transfer codes for the next five years. These guys are toast."

"Just don't let anyone outside of FPP hear you say squat, Brad. You've still got a few years to go on the tenure track, buddyboy."

Brad picked up a little foam-rubber globe from atop his monitor and backhanded it at Sally as his phone rang. "Frisbeeterian Parity Partners, this is Brad Danson ... oh, hello, Mister Prime Minister ... yes sir, the wire transfer has cleared ..."

The day's business went on, as it always does ...
