The world is Granui. There are three countries or continents, spread across the world. Zeshia to the east, Cercia to the north, and Ionia to the west and south.
Zeshia was the smallest of these three, however. it was a strong international power, had a promient Army and Navy, and a strong technological background.
The Zeshian dollar was the strongest in the world, and could recieve I.2 Cercian Pounds to the Dollar, and 3.4 Ionian Trimen to the dollar.
Like all countries that have currency, there was the rich, and the poor, those with middle amounts of money. And with currency, came discrimination and corruption. Money could be used to buy others off, money could be used to have others killed, money did not make the world go round. But it did cause a lot of problems.
More and more money was printed each day, and due to inflation, and the growing trading links between Cercia and Ionia, the Zeshian dollar began to become worth less and less. Eventually, very much like Germany after the first world war, the Zeshian Dollar became absoloutly worthless. People had to buy a loaf of bread with a suitcase full of money.
It was like the stock market crash, but on a larger scale. Chaos and Anarchy riened, there was looting, there was theft, there was arson. The people demanded this situation be resolved, and Zeshia was too proud to look to her neighbours for help.
This period was called the collapse. It was ten years ago. In 1995.
