Charging of Interest

[Hrafn]

Thought I would post it here rather than create an entirely new thread, is it worth adding a variable about who controls the base/bank/discount rate? The only issue is that this could create a conflict with the banking system variable- for example if that policy didn't allow for the existence of a central bank but the interest rate policy was that the central bank controlled it.

You inspired me to create a battery of new banking law proposals.
