Shilling

The Shilling is an invented currency and the subject of this wiki. While imaginary, it has many aspects of a real currency. It is not tied to any real currency; thus, its economy is a complete autarky. It was created on 5 February 2020 by the Florin Council.

History
The shilling was created on 5 February 2020 by the Florin Council to be a more economy-focused predecessor to the florin. On the now-defunct Florin Wiki, most articles were about changing the design of the coins and bills rather than the mechanics of its economy. (The Florin Council still manages the Coins and Banknotes of the Shilling though.) One of its biggest differences compared to the florin was that it has a stock market where people could invest in companies.

It quickly gained traction, and many other features to its economy were added. The Sejm Shareholding System was made on 6 February to simulate real-life shareholding and the shareholders' election of the Board of Directors. Taxes were implemented on 17 February, in order to prevent companies from being too powerful.

The Shilling began to expand out of its main circle on 27 February, with the establishment of a parallel stock market; however, this venture failed.

Coronavirus Shutdown
Beginning 12 March 2020, the Shilling began to stagnate, and the stock market along with it. Soon no trading activity took place, and on 22 March 2020 the Florin Council announced that the Shilling would go on hiatus, and that the stock market would be reset. The Shilling was not abolished though, simply put on hold until the resumption of normal activities. This would later be known as the "coronavirus shutdown".
