I had been thinking it would be fun to restrict the creation of Coins and see what kind of dynamics develop. I like your proposal. One nitpick: I found your Budget Regulations rule a bit confusing, since it refers to budgets as absolute amounts of money without specifying a frequency. Is the attention that the numbers get fixed each time a Tabulation of the Budget is reported, and limit the amount that can be appropriated until the next Tabulation of the Budget? - Falsifian
