Was there a revaluation at some point, or are you averting the future inflation cliché?
For in-universe stories, I've been tending at lower values to keep with the more retro feel, but realistically, there would be higher inflation because it's a bit in the future. But at this point, TBH, the U.S. economy is basically held together by space rocks, the souls of lost orphans and the New New Deal.
It's not a cliché though, if a economy doesn't have inflation, then it's rather worrisome. If you meant more like "yeah, so a dollar in 2015 is 3 billion dollars in 2250", then agreed. I guess that with the major wars Archangel has mentioned, there should have a big inflation at some points. I doubt there'd be a revaluation any way since the US dollar it's a free-floating currency (unless in ANJD it isn't?)
Ah, a fiat currency!
Also, the Libria State Assembly elections of 2015, which I have just got done running in Shared Worlds.
As you can see, the domination of the Motherland Party in the Women's Districts was key to their securing an overall majority, inspire of 2nd place finish in the very divided Men's Districts. I'll do a proper election box for this later, probably.

And it just so happens that the richest man in the Solar System has the largest orphan soul reserve.
Well, really the only one.
That'd be interesting to see laid out as an election box.
I assume that election works like Soviet elections, only with more of a Putinist flair?
(Blank votes count as for CPSU, only CPSU candidate can campaign, media controlled by CPSU, but token "opposition")
(Blank votes count as for CPSU, only CPSU candidate can campaign, media controlled by CPSU, but token "opposition")
This is all kinds of sad.
I can't imagine what kind of hell the USSR is going through with Lavrenty "I Have A Soundproof Rape Room" Beria in charge.
Astrodyne is one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the solar system, and is headed up by the richest man in history, Scot Burr. Astrodyne's initial claim to fame was the Burr-Kamijio nuclear pulse jet rocket that revolutionized, cutting travel times significantly and making interplanetary flight far more cost-effective. Started right out of college by Burr and his childhood friend, Izabelle Ford, with loans from both their families, Astrodyne quickly cornered the market on rocket engines and expanded. The company has become a significant conglomerate and includes a wide variety of different subsidiaries from computing and information technology to biotech and health to food to mining and mineral extraction to energy to ore production to weapons to private security forces--Astrodyne does it all. However, Astrodyne has been a source of major controversy in recent years due to it's ongoing human cloning project, which was first unveiled in 2122 (for which Scot Burr was named TIME's Person of the Year, and the research team (lead by Maggie Neher, Walter O'Keefe, and John Henry Roth) won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2130)--human cloning remains illegal in the United States under so-called Sixth Day Laws first passed in the 2030s during the first major human cloning bruhaha with Adam Morgan and ZymoTech. Following the death of Scot Burr's wife Juliette in 2019, he went into seclusion and the company faltered despite the continued stewardship under Izabelle Ford--following his first public appearance in 2122 during the announcement of the first successful cloned human being, the company's fortunes have gone up again, though many suspect that Ford is calling the shots while Burr remains a figurehead.

No. At least not under any sort of rational or meaningful monetary scale. Scot Burr has an approximate net worth of around $125 billion.

Jesus, and I thought my "Kana Hanazawa as a presidential candidate" box was bad.
