Name of the Law/Policy: Issuance of Debt
Law/Policy Catagory: Economics

Options:
1. A box allowing you to input how much debt you want to issue.
2. A box saying how much you would be willing to loan to a country that is in debt
3. Pay back debt+ interest

Effects:
1. Closes a gap in a deficit, maybe it's added in the revenues section of the economy page, or in the expenditure section as a negative number.
2. Removes that number from your budget for a certain amount of time.
3. Pays back the debt with the interest added to it so that you're no longer in debt

Comments: I'm thinking this law can also have a role play type of feel to it where different nations loan out money if they have a surplus they don't need. You can also have role play debt wars, which could be interesting, or a financial meltdown because of large debts. Maybe interest rates can be added in (like in the Secretary of Economics section with monetary policy). Tell me what you guys think.

Unfortunately it would not be possible to implement a new law featuring an option for players to enter numbers or text into a box. Development work on the game ceased some years back, so we can only introduce standard/non-constitutional laws, where you select one law from a series of options.

You can do all sorts of things with RP laws and RP events, however. See sections 22 & 23 of the Game Rules for more on that.

There are some Role-Play Organisations that deal with this kind of stuff. One of these might be interesting for you:
International Terran Bank
First Bank of Likatonia
Eastern Development Organisation
