D10: Europe Rumours – The Finance Commission
10 Hooks and Rumours for Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.’s Europe
This list has ten hooks and rumours that can be heard about Europe’s Finance Commission. Whether or not they are true is up to the GameMaster. They can be used as background colour or as potential adventure hooks.
- Audits by the Finance Commission are done on individuals and companies with holdings or throughput in excess of 20,000 eurodollars, with random samplings done on those with less value. It’s rumoured that the random samplings are not entirely random, and that it’s possible to get individuals or companies specifically targeted.
- Commissioners of the Finance Commission often work with Interpol to help the latter with their cases. It’s rumoured that some within the Finance Commission and within Interpol believe that those employed by the other should be permanently assigned to them as part of their own organisation.
- Company and personal finances are audited by the Finance Commission, and it’s rumoured that some of the auditors working for the commission are little more than thugs running a protection racket, with those refusing to pay the necessary “fees” ending up on the wrong ends of audits which, without fail, always find indications of illegal activity.
- Eurobonds are issued by the Eurobank to investors, offering fixed interest rates and available for multiples of five years. It’s rumoured that recently the bank has been issuing Eurobonds in greater than normal numbers, with some wondering just why the bank is seeking so much investor money.
- Part of the Finance Commission is currently running blind tests with members of the general public, both within the EU and without, to see what neutral name the eurodollar should be renamed to, so that there is less objection to it becoming the world’s currency.
- The auditors and inspectors of the Finance Commission all have degrees of at least masters level, though some study in their spare time whilst at more junior levels. It’s rumoured that the commission has been considering founding its own college in order to train its staff with the degrees they need.
- The EC’s finances are controlled by the Finance Commission, which ensures that the budgets of the different commissions are sufficient for their needs. It’s rumoured that those commissions who annoy the Finance Commission in any way find their income drying up and the reasons for this always seem to be corruption within the targeted commission.
- The Eurobank is the most powerful financial institution in the world, and rumour is that it’s even more powerful than it seems. It’s said that the Eurobank has been quietly picking up stakes in financial institutions in other countries, slowly allowing it to affect a country’s economics without wielding the brute force of the eurodollar against them.
- The Finance Commission has a large number of security personnel, for transportation and site security and as the bodyguards of inspectors and auditors. It’s rumoured that the commission is planning to organise its security personnel so that they are more like a military force than a security one.
- The reserves of the Eurobank are stored within vaults in the mountains between Freilassing and Salzburg. These have a reputation for being the strongest vaults on the planet, and it’s rumoured that, so far, no-one has managed to successfully breach them. Which doesn’t stop people from trying, and it’s said that those who get closest, and survive the experience, are offered the choice of either indenture to the Finance Commission or being disappeared.
