Heehee... hey, wait! I'm an egomaniacal totalitarian whatever, and I... oh, yeah.

To Fian: The amount of money in the country is far from fixed. In fact, the vast majority of money doesn't even really exist. It's just ones and zeroes in computers. The actual amount of money increases all the time, so it isn't actually necessary for banks to have all of that borrowed money in reserve somewhere. Money has become almost completely abstracted.

Sigh... if only financial math weren't so Damned boring I could be rolling in dough right now with the rest of the actuaries...
