Default Re: Quick question

Difficult to do when you've got a gold based economy.
Which is not necessarily a good thing. Not being able to expand your money supply as your economy grows is bad. You wind up with serious deflation.

You can also finance your spending by borrowing, from abroad or from your citizens (war bonds, anyone?)
