You are Chair of a fictional central bank that issues the world's reserve currency. Eight quarters. Twelve voters. Twelve territories. Pull one lever and the world tips — strengthen your currency and emerging markets buckle, weaken it and inflation runs. Help domestic workers and foreign bond buyers walk away. Every decision ripples across the map.
All committee members, news outlets, and characters in this game are fictional and used for educational play. The simulation is inspired by the structure of real central banks, but no character represents any real person, and no quote attributed to any character has been said by any real official.
A fictional educational simulation. Starting macro conditions are illustrative, not real-time data.
