The Bank of the Trinity
The Bank of the Trinity was established as a response to a collective think-tank, based in Automagfreek between leaders of Gholgoth, The Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations and The New Alliance Treaty Organization that released a report to their respective governing bodies. It said that it would be in the best interests of the three alliances (the Global Alliance and the New Alliance connected through ties to Gholgoth) to create a reserve of money to be available to the members of the Trinity (the collective of the three alliances) for any purpose, and that it would be beneficial as well to create a common currency throughout the nations of the alliance.
Acting on this report, the leading bodies of the three alliances created the charter of The Bank of the Trinity. The basis behind the charter was almost an exact copy of the recommendation the think tank gave, except for the clause about a common currency, as the representatives of the leading nations of the alliances could not come to a consensus as to which currency should be used. The purpose of the bank, as stated by the charter, is to create a reserve of money in a common currency (Universal Standard Dollars or gold) to be available as a loan to any member of the three alliances for any given purpose. This loan would be interest free up through a certain amount of time, which would be determined by the supervising loan officer handling the case. Unlike the recommendation, the bank would allow foreign escrows as well, where money would be safely held until the depositor decides that it needs to be withdrawn. Of course, for that service there would be a small fee, as to keep the bank workers paid.
The Charter
Section I: Purpose/Services
This charter hereby incorporates The Bank of the Trinity in the member nations of the alliances of Gholgoth, the New Alliance Treaty Organization (NATO), and the Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations. The primary function of The Bank of the Trinity is to create a large monetary reserve for use by member nations of the incorporating alliances. As well, The Bank of the Trinity will hold in escrow any amount of money from any nation or individual for a stated fee per year of safe keeping. The tertiary service is to offer a safe deposit box service to any individual or nation. Members of the incorporating alliances may access the safe deposit service without incurring a fee, whereas nations not in the incorporating states do incur a fee per year. Boxes may be purchased for a set amount of time, after which the contents of the box are either burned or put into the reserves of The Bank of the Trinity.
Section II: Location and Personnel
The core depository of The Bank of the Trinity will be located outside of Tenson City, specifically three miles from Tenson City Marine Base in the town of Archer. Secondary Depositories will be located Nuellsvile, Automagfreek, Oured, Cravan, and a site in The Scandavian States to be named and built at a later date. These depositories will be responsible for holding the majority of the currency in the reserve, and a central holding for long term safe deposit boxes and escrows. There will be a Safe-deposit box/Escrow deposit branch established in the Capitol of each nation in the incorporating alliances, where, as well, requests for loans can be made, and where the transfer of funds will be facilitated. As well, other nations outside the incorporating states can petition to establish branches of The Bank of the Trinity in their Capitols, but the branches will only be able to facilitate personal escrows and personal usage of safe deposit boxes. A regional safe depository will be created to oversee and hold long term deposits, and will be created by necessity of location. All transactions for governments must be done at the major depositories and done in actual valuables (currency/gems/gold/silver)
The President of the bank will be Mrs. Jessica Barker Collins of Illior, as appointed by the original depository government (ATT. Collinsresume.doc). The Chief Executive Officer will be Clive Sanders, of Automagfreek (ATT. Sandersresume.doc). The Chief Financial officer will be Richard Rasch of Cravan (ATT. Raschresume.doc). The Chief Operations Officer will be Asiya Saleh (ATT.Salehresume.doc). The personnel at each depository will be hired by the bank director who will be appointed by the COO. Each branch will have a security compliment in house, of up to 20 ex military personnel, armed with a service pistol, body armor, and possibly a sub-machine gun, depending on the location of the branch. Each depository will have a security compliment of two hundred personnel, armed with automatic weapons, sniper rifles, etc. All security personnel will go through a standardization training course in one of the four major depository nations, and will eventually be assigned to a certain branch.
For transportation of national assets, the transportation to the nation of the major depository will be taken care of by the depositing nation. Once the assets are on the land of the country in which the depository is located, The Bank of the Trinity will take possession of the assets and move them by armored transport convoy to the depository. For regional transportation of the safe deposit or escrow service, aircraft will be used to transport said assets. The Illiorian government has issued a license to The Bank of the Trinity to purchase military grade equipment from qualified storefronts. For interregional transport of assets, cargo ships escorted by a flotilla of destroyers and frigates will move said shipments from one branch to another, or to a depository.
Section III: Original Investment/endowment and future investments/endowment
The founding investment comes from the Illiorian government in the amount of One Quadrillion United States Dollars, in the form of gold, silver, gems and currency. These assets will be distributed throughout the four major depositories (not necessarily evenly) upon opening, and will be transported from government treasury facilities to The Bank of the Trinity facilities once the facilities in Illior are complete. The Illiorian government has bequeathed these assets as a gift to the Trinity for its greater good, and will allow it to be loaned out for free.
Endowments from other Trinity nations may be added into the reserve, simply by contacting the Director of Reserves, and stating how much they wish to add. Once the assets arrive on site at the location of the depository, their assets will be appraised to ensure that the Bank of the Trinity is getting exactly what the depositing government said they were giving.
Section IV: Facilities
The principal depository facility and administrative facility is in the Illiorian town of Archer, outside of Tenson City. Tenson City is the home of an Illiorian Marine base, housing the I and IV corps. Both corps hold air cavalry regiments, armored divisions, air defense battalions, and also the Illiorian urban combat center. The facility itself is three miles away from said base, which allows for a short response time should the facility itself come under assault by some force that somehow manages to penetrate Illior’s already hellish defenses. The average response time once the “panic button” was pushed was roughly five minutes for an air assault company to be air-lifted there, followed five minutes later by several armored companies.
The design of the facility is rather complicated, with the depository being located in the middle of a three mile diameter circle. The outer wall is just a wire fence with barbed wire on top, surrounding the whole circumference of the facility. At two points on the perimeter, there are entry checkpoints, each with a basic guardhouse, with cameras and guards with submachine guns, body armor and pistols. The inner wall, set at a radius of one mile, is a ten foot tall cement wall, roughly one foot thick, with guard towers spaced every five hundred feet. The guard towers are set into the walls, with the actual access doors facing inwards, to keep unwanted entry out. The two gates this time are one inch thick steel doors on hinges set inside the wall, with a hydraulically powered steel bar lock.
Off of one of the roads is the Administrative facility, with deposit/withdrawal facilities, and most major offices. The building is a five story upward, twenty story downward facility. On the roof of the building is a helicopter pad, as well as a short ranged SAM battery to eliminate any aerial threats. The office houses the offices of the major officers of the bank, several think tanks, a major computer server for any electronic deposits, etc. The server is run off of over one thousand “blade” type servers, each delivering a massive amount of processing power, an incredible amount of RAM, and over an exabit of static memory. The whole computer system is housed in an EMP resistant setting, and an oxygen free and cool setting to allow for the most efficient level of operation. The server runs the operation of the automatic deposit/withdraw system of the Safe deposit boxes and catalogues the assets held in all the depositories and branches of the whole Trinity Bank system.
Actual vault building is not very imposing, with roughly 3 stories above ground, but it has been built well down into the ground, deeper than most military grade bunkers. The first vault area is roughly 250 meters below the surface, with the ground above it filled with close to 10 meters of cement at the surface, a .5 meter layer of cross laid steel beams roughly 10 meters below that, another 10 meters of steel reinforced concrete roughly 20 meters below that. Below that, layers of 10 meter areas of cement continue every 50 meters until the first vault area is reached, the vault is constructed of roughly 10 meters of cement in every direction, with two elevator shafts and one stairwell (one on either end) being the only entrance to the actual vault entrance. The door is a meter thick cast piece of a carbon fiber reinforced steel alloy. The door is set on a pure line of hinges set into the vault, so the door opens inward. The lock on it is a triple combination, 300 number lock, with possible repeating numbers, allowing for 300^3 possibilities, with the combination changing every twelve hours, with the combination being uploaded to the head director, Chief Operations Officer, and the director of the facility. In general, there is no need to access the vault through the door, unless that massive withdraw or deposit must be made. All smaller transactions are done through an automated conveyer system where lock boxes are moved into the vault and left in a position, and when the correct two codes are entered, it is removed by a remote and automated arm/crane, which then places it onto a series of conveyer belts which then move it to the viewing room where items can be either extracted or deposited. The whole process takes several minutes due to the great distances the box has to travel. The conveyer is powered by several brushless servo motors that drive several wheels, on the ends and at several key areas to allow for retention of the tension in the conveyer belt. The conveyer is protected by a 5 foot thick reinforced concrete tube, that’s large enough to allow for a walkway along one side just in case of some emergency that would somehow manage to shut the conveyer off.
The second vault lies at 500 Meters below ground. This vault is even more heavily constructed, with much more metal used, along with cement to create a large sphere to balance out the weight. Within that sphere is a rectangle, where the vault is. Within this vault is where the main portion of all the monetary funds that The Bank of the Trinity has is stored. That vault has the same combination style door, except it has a 500 number repetitious lock, with a fourth number, allowing for 500^4 possible combinations. This combination changes roughly once a week, with eight separate people being able to access 1 part of the combination (a redundancy, in case one person is unable to access their part of the code, a back up has been assigned to hold the combination as well), with each person holding one of the four numbers to the combination. At no time, can one person access all four numbers. The four primary persons that have access to this combination are as follows: First number: Head of security for the Branch. Second Number: Director of the Branch. Third Number: The person with the highest rank in the Bank of The Trinity from that nation (e.g. the CEO, CFO, COO, President). And the final number holder is the current Head of the respective alliance that that nation belongs to, (e.g. the Cravanian branch’s fourth number is known to the director of GASN, NATO’s head knows the combination in Scandavian States, and the branch in Automagfreek is known to a rotating head of state, starting with Azrael, and then moving onto some other nation, and the branch in Illior’s fourth number will be known to the Chairman/woman of the Illiorian National Governing Council).
The deepest vault holds the true valuables of the Bank of The Trinity: precious items. Objects like diamonds, gold, and silver are all stored in the largest of the vaults in a vault roughly 1000 meters below ground level, accessible only by the two service elevators and two emergency staircases. The vault has a 3 sets of 4 500 number combinations, for a total of 12 numbers. These twelve numbers are known to random personnel throughout the organization. They do not have access to the names of the other holders of combinations, and would be hard pressed to seek them out because the 12 numbers are held by persons throughout the organization, not just in that given branch, but the other branches, the transport sector, the administrative sector, etc. In the case that this vault needs to be accessed, the four highest ranking members will congregate at the Illiorian branch’s administrative offices and enter a special room, with four terminals within it. Each ranking member holds the password to unlocking part of the list, and as such, all four members need to be present to even allow any name to be shown. Once all four have inserted their password, and the password is verified, and then the ranking members have been fingerprinted, and eye-scanned, a menu screen will appear, showing four options: the four branches. When one of the four branches is selected, the highest ranking official in The Bank of the Trinity from that nation will then input their specific password, and after the bio-key tests have been passed, the list will then be printed out, with the correct order as well. From there, the security services will corral the twelve people and bring them to their respective branch which they need to open. From there, once their code is inputted, and verified by Bio-keys, and once the door is opened, their key becomes invalid and they no longer have their access combination. The computer system then randomly chooses another employee and they are then informed subtly.
The other depositories are to be modeled after the one in Tenson city, and are all to be protected with whatever weaponry the host will allow. Each of the depository holding nations will be allowed to have a platoon of their soldiers on site at all times to ensure that security will always be maintained, and will take care of any explosive weaponry, such as missiles, etc.
Section V: Transportation
The funds in The Bank of the Trinity will be transported solely by pieces owned and operated by The Bank of the Trinity. These pieces will include the following: Large Cargo ships (all valuables will be locked in watertight containers below decks), transport aircraft, helicopters and armored vans. All of the transportation methods will be supplied by Illiorian Arms (not including the armored vans, as their construction needs to be contracted out to a different corporation as Illiorian Arms lacks adequate experience in creating armored ground vehicles). The Cargo ships will vary in size, but in the beginning, roughly four will operate at a given time. The aircraft operated by The Bank of the Trinity will be all military grade aircraft. The transport aircrafts will be a variation of the GS-4 Series for large immediate transportations, IAL-4’s and IAL-6’s for smaller transports. All transport flights will have a flight of ISF-33 Cs (An upgraded version of the ISF-33B soon to be released) guarding them at all times. This creates a flight of four to eight craft depending on the value of the load or the size of aircraft. These flights will bear the designation TBT#, and are to have priority given to their routes by local ATACs, to allow them to arrive as quickly as possible to their airfields at the respective branches in the four nations. Helicopters (IH-19s or IH-75s escorted by 3-6 IH-65s) will be used to transport any goods on short hops, such as a depository to a local branch office. The armored vans will be escorted by four to six armored SUVs filled with armed security officers that have the ability to kill and maim in case of an attack on their respective convoy.
At any given time, there will be several helicopters and aircraft on alert filled with teams that specialize in recovery and protection operations in case of a successful attack on a convoy. These teams will be dispatched by either Para-drop or helicopter transport to arrive as soon as humanly possible. The Bank of the Trinity expects the full cooperation of branch hosting governments in the transport operations and in the case of an emergency expects their full support and expects that government to do everything they can to recover a stolen cargo load.
Section VI: Escrow and Safe deposit services
Within the four depository nations, several branches may be opened. Within these branches, two services will be offered: Escrow and Safe deposit boxes. The Escrow service allows the depositor to leave an amount of money in the bank’s care for a set period of time. As the bank will not touch this money, no interest will be earned upon it, and a price must be paid for the duration of the money’s stay. The cost goes to supporting the Bank’s staff and upkeep costs, and ensures the depositor that their escrow will be taken care of until withdrawn. In the case that the deposit runs over the specified time paid for, a late withdraw fee will be charged, that must be paid when the escrow is withdrawn. Also, the depositor will have the choice of their Escrow being stored at the facility in which it was deposited, or it may be moved to another location for storage or withdraw.
The Safe deposit service works much the same way, except that instead of money being deposited, it is generally objects or quantities of money that a person doesn’t want the bank to know about. The depositor leases however many containers they would like, and then pays a leasing fee for the time that their deposits will sit in safe deposit. The containers will then undergo a chemical/radiation test to make sure that no substances within the vacuum sealed, airtight container could possibly harm any employee of The Bank of the Trinity.
Section VII: Affiliations and Classifications
VIIA:
(All of the following is excerpted from Illiorian Law, and as The Bank of the Trinity is Illiorian based, all its employees will be paid from Illiorian accounts, and governments with branches within them will respect the NPO-laws of Illior)
The Bank of the Trinity is officially classified as a Non-Profit Organization, meaning that the bank pays no taxes on any land it holds, money it holds, and its employees get major tax breaks. As it is a NPO, it may not issue stocks or bonds, nor lend out money unless authorized to do so. It may spend money only to better itself or protect itself. As an NPO, it is not allowed to invest its funds in any other organization. It is allowed to charge for its services, in order to pay for upkeep, administrative, and staffing costs. Any and all profits may be put into a bank account in order to create a surplus to be used in times of need when The Bank of the Trinity does not make as much as its running costs.
VIIB:
The Bank of the Trinity has no real corporate connections, excepting Illiorian Arms, and Sapinian Arms. It is affiliated with two other programs, the GASN Aid Program, and a small partnership within the shipping industry with the NATO bank. The GASN Aid Program keeps most of its major amounts of money in an escrow account in The Bank of The Trinity at a small fee, allowing the GASN Aid Program to retain as much of its program money as humanly possible. With the NATO bank, The Bank of the Trinity has agreed to contract the NATO bank’s shipping needs, at again, a small fee, until the NATO bank is fully operational and Autonomous.
VIII: Endowments
The Centrist Demonarchy of Illior will give its initial pledge of 1 quadrillion Universal Standard Dollars once two conditions are met: the completion of a facility strong enough to withstand an attack to protect these funds outside of Tenson City, and the ratification of this charter by the Illiorian congress. The Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek pledges 40 trillion USD to the Bank upon the completion of its facility in Nuellsville, and the ratification of this charter in their congress. The Libertarian Empire of Cravan has pledged its initial endowment of 5 Trillion USD upon the completion of its facility in Oured and the ratification of this charter by the Cravanian Congress. The Imperium of Scandavian States has pledged one trillion USD upon the completion of its facility at Lake Karita. That makes the total endowment roughly 1,046 Trillion USD.
IX: Employee rules
IXA
All employees of The Bank of the Trinity will undergo a scrutinizing background check to ensure that they will only work towards the benefit of the Bank, and not for any other 3rd party. Local managers will have even more thorough checks done on them, including detailed family histories, and will look at their education and political leanings. Each staff member will need to have at least the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree to work at The Bank of the Trinity in the administration, transfers, or customer service sections.
Persons working in the transport fields must have three recommendations about their qualifications, be it from professors, crewmates, or commanding officers. As well, each person applying for a transport position must pass a physical health exam to ensure that they will be able to perform their duties on their respective craft. An arms proficiency course must be taken as well, as all transport workers will need to double as guards for their cargo. The arms proficiency course will allow the taker to understand, perform maintenance on, and use a multitude of weapons, based off of the standard Illiorian Armed Forces loadout, and with other minor courses in allied weapons from the states of Scandavian States and Automagfreek. The proficiency course will also include weaponless self defense, where the trainee will need to acquire the equivalent of a green belt in the Judo form of martial arts. As well, a proficiency test in the trainee’s respective area will also be taken by the trainee to verify that they can indeed do what they say they can.
Persons working in the defense are of The Bank of the Trinity will undergo a tougher test than that of the transport fields. Their arms proficiency test will range in weapons, with a necessary specialization in one type of weapon from the following categories: close range arms, long range arms, heavy weapons, escort weapons. The close range weapons will deal mainly with pistols, submachine guns/Personal Defense Weapons and shotguns. Long Range arms will deal with sniper rifles and battle/assault rifles and their implied attachments, such as under slung grenade launchers. Heavy weapons will deal with machineguns, anti-aircraft weaponry, anti-armor weaponry, and the use of armed vehicles. The escort specialization will deal with the use of pistols, PDWs, Submachine guns, and martial arts, up through the black belt proficiency. They will also specialize in learning body language and how to deal with threats non-violently. All defense personnel have to pass a physical and educational proficiency test, as well as be proficient in martial arts up through the Judo blue belt.
IXB:
Employees that do not meet these requirements or do not pass their proficiency tests, yet are still found to be desirable in some way might have their requirements waived so that they can work for the Bank of the Trinity. After the initial crop of employees has been garnered, any additional employees will be recruited and trained on site, until their levels in their fields are proficient enough to begin work.
IXC
Employees will sign and abide by the following contract:
1. I will not knowledgeably do anything detrimental to The Bank of the Trinity (knowledgability will be determined by a council of peers if something detrimental has been done).
2. I will work to the best of my ability and do what it takes to get the job done
3. I will be forthright and honest at all times.
4. I will use my equipment for the purposes of the Bank, and I will use another computer supplied by the Bank for personal usage
5. I will not divulge any of my ongoing work, unless that knowledge has been deemed expressible by the Director or COO
6. If I feel I have been treated unfairly, I will go to a legal representative of the Bank to see if I can work my conflict out, be it with the Bank or another employee. If the situation cannot be resolved internally, I understand I have the right to take this matter to a court within the nation where the situation occurred. If the situation occurred in a lack of sovereignty zone, then the issue will be decided upon by an Illiorian court.
7. I understand I have the right to use bank Legal counsel in the event that I need to go before a court.
8. I understand that I have a healthcare plan that covers me fully.
9. I understand that I do not have a company life insurance plan (exception would be defense and transport division workers), and that I have the right to set one up and work with the Bank of the Trinity to establish a way to pay for it.
10. I understand that I cannot be paid below minimum wage, nor join any union, and that I have the right to ask for legal arbitration if I feel that I am being underpaid.
11. I understand that I have rights, and that I may not be forced to work more than eight hours straight, be maltreated, abused in any way, tolerate racial or gender slander.
12. I understand the above constitution, and I agree to its terms and conditions

X: Insurance Policies
As The Bank of the Trinity is a licensed lender, there needs to be protection for all escrow and Safety deposit transactions. The Bank of the Trinity’s insurance policy is that if, for some reason, some safe deposit or escrow goes missing, The Bank of the Trinity will pay the depositor up to one million USD ( for safe deposits), the full escrow, and refund their lease. To ensure that no fraud occurs, for the insurance policy to be valid, upon deposit, a form must be filled out with the contents of the safe deposit or escrow listed and verified by either a lawyer on site, or a bank representative, and after that, the money will be put into a holding account until an investigation has been done to ensure that no fraud or silly mistakes occurred, and after those two safety valves have been passed, the money will be released into the hands of the depositor.

The office houses the offices of the major officers of the bank, several think tanks, a major computer server for any electronic deposits, etc. The server is run off of over one thousand “blade” type servers, each delivering a massive amount of processing power, an incredible amount of RAM, and over an exabit of static memory. The whole computer system is housed in an EMP resistant setting, and an oxygen free and cool setting to allow for the most efficient level of operation. The server runs the operation of the automatic deposit/withdraw system of the Safe deposit boxes and catalogues the assets held in all the depositories and branches of the whole Trinity Bank system.
Actual vault building is not very imposing, with roughly 3 stories above ground, but it has been built well down into the ground, deeper than most military grade bunkers. The first vault area is roughly 250 meters below the surface, with the ground above it filled with close to 10 meters of cement at the surface, a .5 meter layer of cross laid steel beams roughly 10 meters below that, another 10 meters of steel reinforced concrete roughly 20 meters below that. Below that, layers of 10 meter areas of cement continue every 50 meters until the first vault area is reached, the vault is constructed of roughly 10 meters of cement in every direction, with two elevator shafts and one stairwell (one on either end) being the only entrance to the actual vault entrance. The door is a meter thick cast piece of a carbon fiber reinforced steel alloy. The door is set on a pure line of hinges set into the vault, so the door opens inward. The lock on it is a triple combination, 300 number lock, with possible repeating numbers, allowing for 300^3 possibilities, with the combination changing every twelve hours, with the combination being uploaded to the head director, Chief Operations Officer, and the director of the facility. In general, there is no need to access the vault through the door, unless that massive withdraw or deposit must be made. All smaller transactions are done through an automated conveyer system where lock boxes are moved into the vault and left in a position, and when the correct two codes are entered, it is removed by a remote and automated arm/crane, which then places it onto a series of conveyer belts which then move it to the viewing room where items can be either extracted or deposited. The whole process takes several minutes due to the great distances the box has to travel. The conveyer is powered by several brushless servo motors that drive several wheels, on the ends and at several key areas to allow for retention of the tension in the conveyer belt. The conveyer is protected by a 5 foot thick reinforced concrete tube, that’s large enough to allow for a walkway along one side just in case of some emergency that would somehow manage to shut the conveyer off.
The second vault lies at 500 Meters below ground. This vault is even more heavily constructed, with much more metal used, along with cement to create a large sphere to balance out the weight. Within that sphere is a rectangle, where the vault is. Within this vault is where the main portion of all the monetary funds that The Bank of the Trinity has is stored. That vault has the same combination style door, except it has a 500 number repetitious lock, with a fourth number, allowing for 500^4 possible combinations. This combination changes roughly once a week, with eight separate people being able to access 1 part of the combination (a redundancy, in case one person is unable to access their part of the code, a back up has been assigned to hold the combination as well), with each person holding one of the four numbers to the combination. At no time, can one person access all four numbers. The four primary persons that have access to this combination are as follows: First number: Head of security for the Branch. Second Number: Director of the Branch. Third Number: The person with the highest rank in the Bank of The Trinity from that nation (e.g. the CEO, CFO, COO, President). And the final number holder is the current Head of the respective alliance that that nation belongs to, (e.g. the Cravanian branch’s fourth number is known to the director of GASN, NATO’s head knows the combination in Scandavian States, and the branch in Automagfreek is known to a rotating head of state, starting with Azrael, and then moving onto some other nation, and the branch in Illior’s fourth number will be known to the Chairman/woman of the Illiorian National Governing Council).
The deepest vault holds the true valuables of the Bank of The Trinity: precious items. Objects like diamonds, gold, and silver are all stored in the largest of the vaults in a vault roughly 1000 meters below ground level, accessible only by the two service elevators and two emergency staircases. The vault has a 3 sets of 4 500 number combinations, for a total of 12 numbers. These twelve numbers are known to random personnel throughout the organization. They do not have access to the names of the other holders of combinations, and would be hard pressed to seek them out because the 12 numbers are held by persons throughout the organization, not just in that given branch, but the other branches, the transport sector, the administrative sector, etc. In the case that this vault needs to be accessed, the four highest ranking members will congregate at the Illiorian branch’s administrative offices and enter a special room, with four terminals within it. Each ranking member holds the password to unlocking part of the list, and as such, all four members need to be present to even allow any name to be shown. Once all four have inserted their password, and the password is verified, and then the ranking members have been fingerprinted, and eye-scanned, a menu screen will appear, showing four options: the four branches. When one of the four branches is selected, the highest ranking official in The Bank of the Trinity from that nation will then input their specific password, and after the bio-key tests have been passed, the list will then be printed out, with the correct order as well. From there, the security services will corral the twelve people and bring them to their respective branch which they need to open. From there, once their code is inputted, and verified by Bio-keys, and once the door is opened, their key becomes invalid and they no longer have their access combination. The computer system then randomly chooses another employee and they are then informed subtly.
The other depositories are to be modeled after the one in Tenson city, and are all to be protected with whatever weaponry the host will allow. Each of the depository holding nations will be allowed to have a platoon of their soldiers on site at all times to ensure that security will always be maintained, and will take care of any explosive weaponry, such as missiles, etc.
Section V: Transportation
The funds in The Bank of the Trinity will be transported solely by pieces owned and operated by The Bank of the Trinity. These pieces will include the following: Large Cargo ships (all valuables will be locked in watertight containers below decks), transport aircraft, helicopters and armored vans. All of the transportation methods will be supplied by Illiorian Arms (not including the armored vans, as their construction needs to be contracted out to a different corporation as Illiorian Arms lacks adequate experience in creating armored ground vehicles). The Cargo ships will vary in size, but in the beginning, roughly four will operate at a given time. The aircraft operated by The Bank of the Trinity will be all military grade aircraft. The transport aircrafts will be a variation of the GS-4 Series for large immediate transportations, IAL-4’s and IAL-6’s for smaller transports. All transport flights will have a flight of ISF-33 Cs (An upgraded version of the ISF-33B soon to be released) guarding them at all times. This creates a flight of four to eight craft depending on the value of the load or the size of aircraft. These flights will bear the designation TBT#, and are to have priority given to their routes by local ATACs, to allow them to arrive as quickly as possible to their airfields at the respective branches in the four nations. Helicopters (IH-19s or IH-75s escorted by 3-6 IH-65s) will be used to transport any goods on short hops, such as a depository to a local branch office. The armored vans will be escorted by four to six armored SUVs filled with armed security officers that have the ability to kill and maim in case of an attack on their respective convoy.
At any given time, there will be several helicopters and aircraft on alert filled with teams that specialize in recovery and protection operations in case of a successful attack on a convoy. These teams will be dispatched by either Para-drop or helicopter transport to arrive as soon as humanly possible. The Bank of the Trinity expects the full cooperation of branch hosting governments in the transport operations and in the case of an emergency expects their full support and expects that government to do everything they can to recover a stolen cargo load.
Section VI: Escrow and Safe deposit services
Within the four depository nations, several branches may be opened. Within these branches, two services will be offered: Escrow and Safe deposit boxes. The Escrow service allows the depositor to leave an amount of money in the bank’s care for a set period of time. As the bank will not touch this money, no interest will be earned upon it, and a price must be paid for the duration of the money’s stay. The cost goes to supporting the Bank’s staff and upkeep costs, and ensures the depositor that their escrow will be taken care of until withdrawn. In the case that the deposit runs over the specified time paid for, a late withdraw fee will be charged, that must be paid when the escrow is withdrawn. Also, the depositor will have the choice of their Escrow being stored at the facility in which it was deposited, or it may be moved to another location for storage or withdraw.
The Safe deposit service works much the same way, except that instead of money being deposited, it is generally objects or quantities of money that a person doesn’t want the bank to know about. The depositor leases however many containers they would like, and then pays a leasing fee for the time that their deposits will sit in safe deposit. The containers will then undergo a chemical/radiation test to make sure that no substances within the vacuum sealed, airtight container could possibly harm any employee of The Bank of the Trinity.
Section VII: Affiliations and Classifications
VIIA:
(All of the following is excerpted from Illiorian Law, and as The Bank of the Trinity is Illiorian based, all its employees will be paid from Illiorian accounts, and governments with branches within them will respect the NPO-laws of Illior)
The Bank of the Trinity is officially classified as a Non-Profit Organization, meaning that the bank pays no taxes on any land it holds, money it holds, and its employees get major tax breaks. As it is a NPO, it may not issue stocks or bonds, nor lend out money unless authorized to do so. It may spend money only to better itself or protect itself. As an NPO, it is not allowed to invest its funds in any other organization. It is allowed to charge for its services, in order to pay for upkeep, administrative, and staffing costs. Any and all profits may be put into a bank account in order to create a surplus to be used in times of need when The Bank of the Trinity does not make as much as its running costs.
VIIB:
The Bank of the Trinity has no real corporate connections, excepting Illiorian Arms, and Sapinian Arms. It is affiliated with two other programs, the GASN Aid Program, and a small partnership within the shipping industry with the NATO bank. The GASN Aid Program keeps most of its major amounts of money in an escrow account in The Bank of The Trinity at a small fee, allowing the GASN Aid Program to retain as much of its program money as humanly possible. With the NATO bank, The Bank of the Trinity has agreed to contract the NATO bank’s shipping needs, at again, a small fee, until the NATO bank is fully operational and Autonomous.
VIII: Endowments
The Centrist Demonarchy of Illior will give its initial pledge of 1 quadrillion Universal Standard Dollars once two conditions are met: the completion of a facility strong enough to withstand an attack to protect these funds outside of Tenson City, and the ratification of this charter by the Illiorian congress. The Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek pledges 40 trillion USD to the Bank upon the completion of its facility in Nuellsville, and the ratification of this charter in their congress. The Libertarian Empire of Cravan has pledged its initial endowment of 5 Trillion USD upon the completion of its facility in Oured and the ratification of this charter by the Cravanian Congress. The Imperium of Scandavian States has pledged one trillion USD upon the completion of its facility at Lake Karita. That makes the total endowment roughly 1,046 Trillion USD.
IX: Employee rules
IXA
All employees of The Bank of the Trinity will undergo a scrutinizing background check to ensure that they will only work towards the benefit of the Bank, and not for any other 3rd party. Local managers will have even more thorough checks done on them, including detailed family histories, and will look at their education and political leanings. Each staff member will need to have at least the equivalent of a Bachelor’s degree to work at The Bank of the Trinity in the administration, transfers, or customer service sections.
Persons working in the transport fields must have three recommendations about their qualifications, be it from professors, crewmates, or commanding officers. As well, each person applying for a transport position must pass a physical health exam to ensure that they will be able to perform their duties on their respective craft. An arms proficiency course must be taken as well, as all transport workers will need to double as guards for their cargo. The arms proficiency course will allow the taker to understand, perform maintenance on, and use a multitude of weapons, based off of the standard Illiorian Armed Forces loadout, and with other minor courses in allied weapons from the states of Scandavian States and Automagfreek. The proficiency course will also include weaponless self defense, where the trainee will need to acquire the equivalent of a green belt in the Judo form of martial arts. As well, a proficiency test in the trainee’s respective area will also be taken by the trainee to verify that they can indeed do what they say they can.
Persons working in the defense are of The Bank of the Trinity will undergo a tougher test than that of the transport fields. Their arms proficiency test will range in weapons, with a necessary specialization in one type of weapon from the following categories: close range arms, long range arms, heavy weapons, escort weapons. The close range weapons will deal mainly with pistols, submachine guns/Personal Defense Weapons and shotguns. Long Range arms will deal with sniper rifles and battle/assault rifles and their implied attachments, such as under slung grenade launchers. Heavy weapons will deal with machineguns, anti-aircraft weaponry, anti-armor weaponry, and the use of armed vehicles. The escort specialization will deal with the use of pistols, PDWs, Submachine guns, and martial arts, up through the black belt proficiency. They will also specialize in learning body language and how to deal with threats non-violently. All defense personnel have to pass a physical and educational proficiency test, as well as be proficient in martial arts up through the Judo blue belt.
IXB:
Employees that do not meet these requirements or do not pass their proficiency tests, yet are still found to be desirable in some way might have their requirements waived so that they can work for the Bank of the Trinity. After the initial crop of employees has been garnered, any additional employees will be recruited and trained on site, until their levels in their fields are proficient enough to begin work.
IXC

1. I will not knowledgeably do anything detrimental to The Bank of the Trinity (knowledgability will be determined by a council of peers if something detrimental has been done).
2. I will work to the best of my ability and do what it takes to get the job done
3. I will be forthright and honest at all times.
4. I will use my equipment for the purposes of the Bank, and I will use another computer supplied by the Bank for personal usage

X: Insurance Policies
As The Bank of the Trinity is a licensed lender, there needs to be protection for all escrow and Safety deposit transactions. The Bank of the Trinity’s insurance policy is that if, for some reason, some safe deposit or escrow goes missing, The Bank of the Trinity will pay the depositor up to one million USD ( for safe deposits), the full escrow, and refund their lease. To ensure that no fraud occurs, for the insurance policy to be valid, upon deposit, a form must be filled out with the contents of the safe deposit or escrow listed and verified by either a lawyer on site, or a bank representative, and after that, the money will be put into a holding account until an investigation has been done to ensure that no fraud or silly mistakes occurred, and after those two safety valves have been passed, the money will be released into the hands of the depositor.
