World Dollar

The World Dollar was an attempt to create a common global trading currency for Nationstates.

The nation of Pure Evil chaired the World Bank, an attempt to find a common global trading currency. The "World Dollar" was initially pegged at US$2 and printed by banks in Pure Evil. SeOCC obtained a large quantity of World Dollars ahead of the general release, and SeOCC and several other members of Coalition of Anti-Capitalist Economies hatched a plot to destabilize the economies of the World Business Organization, intending to leverage large quantities of (and hopefully destabilize) the Menelmacari credit, and the economies of the WBO along with it. The plan was outlined in an Economic Policy Statement penned by SeOCC government officials. The Economic Policy Statement was acquired by Der Angst intelligence and circulated to other members of the WBO. Tensions in the cold war between the WBO and the CACE escalated because of this.

Led by Menelmacar, the WBO responded with a joint declaration that the World Dollar would not be accepted as valid currency in WBO markets under any circumstances and made the Menelmacari credit their common currency for international trade. In these economies, and in the economies of independent nations that followed the WBO, the World Dollar is considered to have no value. However, it may be accepted in other countries. Most of the World Dollars held by SeOCC were transferred to the Developing Nations Summit.
