The Bank of Ulm is open!
Yes, that's right! As a special treat, I have opened the Bank of Ulm a turn early, with 500 gold, 4 air gems, 3 water gems, 4 death gems, and 9 earth gems. For those of you who haven't heard the news, I'll post the (finalized) summary of the Bank of Ulm and its workings, in italics just in case any of you are denser than blacksteel armor.
The Bank of Ulm is an entity which people can loan money or gems to and from. Those loaning to the BoU may gain money at a n interest but may only withdraw their money or gems after 12 turns. Those taking loans from the Bank must pay it back at an interest. The exact numbers are as follows:
Gold:
1% interest rate, compounded, on loans to Ulm
3% interest rate, compounded, on loans from Ulm
Gems:
10% interest rate on loans from Ulm of 1-9 gems
6.5% interest rate on loans from Ulm of 10-39 gems and to Ulm of 1-9 gems
4% interest rate on loans from Ulm of 40-99 gems and to Ulm of 10-39 gems

Additionally, for 100+50g-per-turn-after-opening and 1+.5gems-of-any-type-per-turn-after-opening, or an adequate item, any nation can become a Favored Customer of Ulm, recieving the following benefits:
Only 1/2 of the gold sum is compounded, the other half is non-compounded
