 ====== International Currency Exchange ====== ====== International Currency Exchange ======
 +The International Currency Exchange was created due to the need for proper exchange rates between [[:faction|factions]]. As friendships and alliances began to grow it became difficult to trade if certain [[:faction|factions]] did not acknowledge foreign forms of currency or have set exchange rates. Citizens and [[:organizations#national_governments|governments]] were left reliant on bartering or guessing the rates of exchange, leaving some cheated out of their hard-earned money and others exploiting the ignorance of tourists - thus it was decided that the currently known rates of exchange were to be compiled, recalculated, and modified in order to create standardized exchange rates that would accommodate the people of all [[:faction|factions]].
  
-The International Currency Exchange was created due to the need of proper exchange rates between nations. As friendships and alliance began to grow it became difficult to trade if certain nations did not have set exchange rates or did not acknowledge foreign forms of currency. Citizens and governments were left to barter or guess rates of exchange which would leave some people cheated out of hard earned money and other people exploiting the ignorance of tourists. And so it was decided that the current known rates of exchange should be compiledrecalculatedand modified to create standardized exchange rates that would accommodate all people of all nations.+[[faction:yamatai:ks|KS]] and [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|DA]] are both accepted virtually everywhere around the core of the [[places:kikyo_sector|Kikyo Sector]] - but as one goes deeper into [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslia]] or the [[places:ketsurui_military_sector|Ketsurui Military Sector]], they become much more [[:faction|faction]]-oriented; locations on [[planet:hanakos_world|Hanako's World]] and in the [[faction:nepleslia:colonial_expanse|Nepleslian Colonial Expanse]]for instancerespectively only accept [[faction:yamatai:ks|KS]] or [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|DA]].
  
-KS and DA are both accepted pretty much anywhere around the core of the map. As you go deeper into Nepleslia or Southwest into Yamatai's military sector they become much more faction-oriented (eg on Hanako's World it'd be KS-only and on Nepleslian frontier worlds it'd be mostly DA.+The exchange rate has been fixed for OOC simplicity purposes. [[faction:yamatai:ks|KS]] and [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|DA]] can be readily converted to each other digitally (over networks such as [[corp:emrys:sync|SYNC]] or the InterNep) or physically (at banks and spaceports).
  
-The exchange rate has been fixed for OOC simplicity purposes and DA and KS can be readily converted to each other on SARP's version of the internet or (for physical money) at banks and spaceports.+===== Using the International Exchange Table ===== 
 +The International Exchange Table was organized so that it would be easy to determine how much one unit of a certain currency would be equal to in another form of currency
  
-===== How to Use the International Exchange Table =====+  - Find your current form of currency along the top row. 
 +  - Find your desired form of currency along the third column.  
 +  - Follow the row and column until you are given a number. That number is the rate of exchange - essentially, how much of your new currency you would receive from one unit of your old currency.  
 +  - The simple formula of **c * r n** (where **c** current amount, **r** rate of exchange, **n** new amount) can be used to calculate the amount of the new currency you should have. 
 +  - A question mark (?) indicates that no official conversion rate has been established for that particular combination of currencies. 
 +  - An "N/A" indicates that the [[:faction|faction]] does not accept that particular currency.
  
-The International Exchange Table was organized in a way that would make it simple to figure out how much one unit of a certain currency would be equal to in another form of currency. First, you must find your current form of currency along the top row, then you must find your desired form of currency along the first columnFollow the row and column until you are given a number, that number is the rate of exchange (how much of your new currency you would receive from one unit of your old currency)The simple formula of c*r=n (c=current amount, r=rate of exchange, n=new amount) can be used to calculate the amount of the new currency you should have.+====Example==== 
 +Let's say I have 200 [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslian]] [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|Davis Alliances]] and I wish to convert them to [[faction:iromakuanhe:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth|Iromakuanhe]] [[faction:iromakuanhe:currency|Kuon Dalris]]I locate 1 [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslian]] [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|Davis Alliance]] on the top row (my current form of currency) and then locate the [[faction:iromakuanhe:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth|Iromakuanhe]] [[faction:iromakuanhe:currency|Kuon Dalris]] along the third column (my desired form of currency)I follow the row and column and am given 2.00 [[faction:iromakuanhe:currency|KD]]. This means that 1 [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslian]] [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|Davis Alliance]] has the same value as 2.00 [[faction:iromakuanhe:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth|Iromakuanhe]] [[faction:iromakuanhe:currency|Kuon Dalri]]Basic math tells me that my 200 [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia|Nepleslian]] [[faction:nepleslia:economy:da|Davis Alliances]] are equal to 400 [[faction:iromakuanhe:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth|Iromakuanhe]] [[faction:iromakuanhe:currency|Kuon Dalris]] (200 * 2.00).
  
-//Example: I have 200 Abwehran Credits and I wish to convert these to Iromakuanhe Kuon Dalris. I locate 1 Abwehran Credit on the top row (my current form of currency) and then locate Iromakuanhe Kuon Dalris along the first column (my desired form of currency). I follow the row and column and am given 1.33 KD. This means that 1 Abwehran Credit has the same value as 1.33 (1 and 1/3) Iromakuanhe Kuon Dalri. Basic math tells me that my 200 Abwehran Credits is equal to 266.66 (repeating of course) Iromakuanhe Kuon Dalris (200*1.33)// +=====The Exchange Table=====
