This game needs a "gold standard" mode to see what happens to the toy economy with no central bank!

EDIT: It would also be nice if the game paused around major events to give you more time to think & adjust. I found that the economy went off the rails if you don't react right away.

Cool game, but when shit hits the fan and production falls, everything seems to explode instantly, within a few turns. It would be nice to add some time controls so I can actually think about what to do.

Edit: while I'm asking for new features, two buttons with a step of .5 isn't enough to handle these deflationary spirals. Perhaps turn it into a slider with the step buttons.

Also some historical charts to show at the end of the game would be cool

Global economy. It's not one village.

The US Fed has to ensure liquidity for all global USD users, to include USD derivatives, USD denominated loans and USD denominated trade instruments; and it has to do that at the same time trillions can sit nearly idle (not contributing to transactional velocity) on balance sheets worldwide.

Impressive, no doubt and good on you though!

Sounds pretty realistic to me!

Economy as a twitch game gives me heartburn...

If you can own the bank in the freest/richest society, you can inflate away enough wealth to bribe it into enabling government schools, criminal legal tender "laws", becoming the world reserve fiat global enslavement system, and then inflate away 99.9999% of all the wealth of humanity in perpetuity... that is if you're willing to play as anti-human.
