====== Ministry of Finance ======

The Ministry of Finance handles the financial dealings, including collection of taxes and their distribution. They receive a large share of the Union budget, but are expected to use this to fund other Ministries should these request additional funding. They also control the amount of money in circulation, either giving out new money or buying it up from their budget. 

The current minister is [[Minister~Dewa Lanadi]] from the [[World~Veolian Commonwealth]].
