Economy & Treasury
Summary
Section titled “Summary”The ASEAN Motor Club operates a two-tier government fund structure inspired by Singapore’s fiscal framework. This page explains how the treasury works, how spending is self-regulating, and how revenue flows through the economy.
1. Two-Tier Fund Structure
Section titled “1. Two-Tier Fund Structure”The government maintains two separate accounts, each with a distinct purpose:
Government Accounts
| Account | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury Fund | Operating (Asset) | Day-to-day spending: job bonuses, subsidies, UBI, Ministry budget |
| Sovereign Reserves | Locked (Asset) | Receives all wealth tax revenue. Not directly spendable. |
2. NIRC — Net Investment Returns Contribution
Section titled “2. NIRC — Net Investment Returns Contribution”Following Singapore’s constitutional framework, a controlled portion of reserves is transferred to the operating treasury daily as the NIRC:
This transfer runs as a daily automated process at 00:05 server time. It provides a steady, predictable income stream to the treasury without depleting reserves.
3. Treasury Equilibrium
Section titled “3. Treasury Equilibrium”Government spending (job bonuses, subsidies) is automatically regulated by the treasury balance using a sigmoid-based multiplier:
Treasury Multiplier by Balance
| Treasury Balance | Multiplier | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Well below equilibrium | ~0.5× | Spending tightens — fewer jobs, lower bonuses |
| At equilibrium ($100M default) | ~1.0× | Normal spending |
| Well above equilibrium | ~2.0× | Spending increases — more jobs, higher bonuses |
4. Revenue Sources
Section titled “4. Revenue Sources”The treasury receives income from:
-
NIRC drip — daily transfer from Sovereign Reserves (primary source)
-
Player donations — voluntary contributions from citizens
-
Government employee contributions — income redirected from GOV-tagged players
-
Vehicle purchases — certain luxury vehicle purchases contribute to the treasury
5. Expenditure
Section titled “5. Expenditure”The treasury funds:
-
Delivery job bonuses — completion rewards for community jobs
-
Cargo subsidies — bonus payments on qualifying deliveries
-
Universal Basic Income — regular payments to all active citizens
-
Government salary — 2× UBI for government employees
-
Ministry budget — allocated to the elected Minister for discretionary spending
