BUDGET September 2015

HM Treasury

Contents 1

Foreword

This economy is not our first. We have tried to implement economies in the past, and we have unfortunately been unsuccessfully in doing so. Within this budget, it is my hope that we will be able to establish an economy that is worthwhile, and that meets the needs of; citizens, businesses, the government and the Treasury.

Throughout this budget, you will find information on rebalancing the finances of individuals in order to redistribute wealth to begin to make the economy fair for everyone as we start our new venture. This rebalancing has taken into consideration what would be the ‘normal pay per post’ amount of £2, and the post count of each individual citizen.

There will be information on the budget itself, with a full breakdown of costs and budgets for the Bank, Treasury and all areas of Governance. Furthermore, there will also be information on the wages for members of the Government, provisions to allow citizens to claim an income, and support for businesses in order to help them grow.

There will further be information on the creation businesses, estates and houses, including the fees and taxes pertaining thereto. Finally, the policy of the Treasury on political parties and registration for political office will be made clear.

H, Mountbatten Henry Mountbatten Chancellor of the Exchequer

Monetary Policy

When implementing the economy, it is important to remember that we all need to start off on an equal footing. Therefore, the Treasury will be implementing a rebalancing of the personal finances of all citizens. Calculations have already been made, and a summary of these may be seen below.

In order to allow members of the community to further their careers and maintain economic prosperity, we believe that it is important for everyone to earn their money. It is for this reason, that the Treasury will not be implementing a universal wage program (money per post), within this budget. However, the Treasury recognises the importance of rewarding those who work hard, and as such will be implementing an interest rate of 1% on personal finances.

In order to be able to finance the first budget, and in order to support the growth of the economy, money will need to be injected into the economy. This will take the form of a loan from the Royal Bank to His Majesty’s Treasury, in which the loan will be repaid, with an interest rate of 1.4%.

Taxation Policy Taxes are an important revenue system for the Treasury. However, it is also important to maintain purchasing power, in order to allow the economy to grow.
