In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules.
But rampant...

YNA 1, Monday, 1st Week, Month Of Noah
After the day of mourning, a month had passed according to the New World Calendar. It was now the first day of the first week of the Month of Noah. During this time, the government and the Emperor announced a National Revitalisation Program for the entire Austronesia, which means the government would help in reestablishing the business and structures that the flood has damaged.
At the same time, a national emergency has been declared, and a price freeze on essential foods was implemented. The government pledged to shoulder the burden and help the masses.
Furthermore, the government has started the return to the gold standard. Metals and precious metals are going to be used once again in dictating the value of money, instead of the paper currencies in the past. Consequently, the Empire has been intensifying its mining operations lately, especially for precious metals such as platinum, copper, silver, iron, nickel, zinc, tin and many other minerals used in coinage.
To further enhance the security of the coins and prevent them from being melted down by enemies or those who want to take advantage of it, all coins except for iron coins would be plated.
Moreover, the transaction would not just rely on coins. These coins have intrinsic values on them, which would be clearly indicated on them.
Stainless Steel Coins - 1 Earthian Cents
Bronze Plated Brass Coin - 1 Earthian
Silver-Plated Bronze Coin - 25 Earthian
Gold Plated Silver Coin - 100 Earthian
Platinum Plated Gold Coins - 1000 Earthian
The lowest denomination would be the Stainless Steel Coins, which are worth 1 Earthian cent and so on and so forth. The name of the currency will be called Earthian, as they don't want to forget their original home from which they came and originated from. It was a sign of respect and remembrance for their old home.
The government decided to move back to the gold standard because of the fact that paper money had become practically worthless as toilet paper in the trade of precious commodities. However, the transition will be gradual, until the time when the Empire finally has another country to trade to.
Unfortunately, given the current state of the world and how it works as of now, it doesn't seem like they will have any trading partners nor forming any alliances. Instead, they will only have people who wishes to enslave them and plunder their resources and ultimately lead to the rape of their dignified motherland.
Furthermore, there were a lot of shocking things that transpired before them when they started mining back for resources.
What once desolate lands were now abundant with countless, immeasurable amounts of resources. Not to mention the fact that there were also unknown metals but also minerals that were once not found in the lands of Austronesia, were discovered.
