| State budget |
|
|
| In Coinrepublik, each nation operates with its own state budget, a core component of its economic system. This virtual treasury mirrors real-world government finances, managing national income and expenditure to influence economic growth, citizen rewards, and national stability. Understanding this system is crucial for players seeking to grasp the larger forces that shape their country. |

|
| The main source of income for a state budget is tax revenue. As towns engage in economic activities, they pay a portion of their earnings as taxes to the national treasury. The more successful the towns, the greater the tax income generated. |
| |
|
| On the expenditure side, the state budget primarily funds bonuses for towns. These bonuses incentivize development and reward towns based on performance metrics, such as population size. For example, towns with larger populations receive proportionally larger bonuses. This system fosters nationwide growth and encourages towns to expand and prosper. |
| |
|
| An important rule is that state budgets are held only in the country’s national currency. They cannot contain gold or foreign currencies. This reinforces localized economic management and ensures that each country must balance its budget within its own monetary system. |
| |
|
| Maintaining fiscal balance is a constant challenge. Players, through the political system, can propose and vote on laws to adjust tax rates and bonuses. Naturally, players often prefer lower taxes and higher bonuses, which can quickly strain the state budget. While such laws offer short-term gains for individual towns, they risk creating long-term financial instability if not carefully managed. |

| To prevent complete budget depletion, Coinrepublik includes an automatic safeguard. If a nation’s budget falls below $100, an emergency intervention is triggered: |
