We all know that the USA was in bad shape even before the Seretech Decision, but things only got worse after that. Budget deficits, universal health care, balkanization, lost tax revenue, and so on and so on, all led to the UCAS as a rather weak player. Yet, come 2070, and she's got some dough, an expansionist military, territory gains (ok, Council Island isn't a lot of territory, but stay with me), and the absorption of many SINless (initial loss, possible long term gain).
We all know the New Revolution is supporting the Colloton Administration, but where's the money coming from? Revolutions aren't cheap, after all. I'm thinking there's a likely answer in Threats 2, System Failure or maybe Emergence, but I digress.
However, I thought listing the banks we know of wouldn't be a bad idea, and if any of you have a bank I missed, let me know and I'll add it to the list.
