Issue 16: Growing concerns about the economy has led citizens to ask what exactly the governmet plans to do about it.

-"The answer here is simple," claims one of the most nationalistic bankers in the country, "We just say no to the people wanting the money. The stability and safety of this fine nation is of utmost importance, so because of our present situation, we are in the right to drop our payments to our citizens and other nations until our economy is restored. The people who need the money won't like it, but what do they like, hmm?"

-A reknown Imperial pacisfist is disgusted by his idea, "What? You can't honestly expect that we will stand for not being paid for doing our job! If you really want to help out your people, cut back on your military spending. That way, we can bring back some Septims into the system, and at the same time lower the power of our war-mongering death squads. Everyone wins!"

-"Hmph. All you people do is sit around thinking about yourselves," says an independence advocate for nowhere in particular, "You want to know how to fill up you pockets? Offer one of your cities up for independence for a price. You'd lose a city, but I don't think you realize just how much people are willing to pay for a government of their own and a spot on the map. Just pick a city, and the people will be throwing their Septims at you."

-Your last economist who hasn't keeled over from stress is still hopeful, even as sweat pours from his forehead and his hands shake, "W-w-we're still doing okay. We-we can still make it. I'm s-sure our economy will start running again. I-I-It has to!"
