Huge Bank Fees Posted Today

Countries dropping below minimum balances during the tower competition were given one week's notice to correct the problem according to WWB policy. Accruing bank fees were assessed today. With no action on the part of any problemed country, each was assessed penalties based on their holdings for the past 8 days (10%/day assessed in the highest MAR holding). Here is the damage report:

Xlutbas: -40 Food (Insufficient Funds- House and Mil.)
L.E.G.S.: -32 Tech and -3 Food (Insufficient Funds - House, Mil. Ind. Energy)
Shangrila: -77 Food (Insufficient Funds- Mil.)

Countries should seize the opportunities to make trades with other countries or the bank as soon as possible to avoid further bank fees.

The collaborative effort between researchers of the nations of Kandistan and Harlem yielded the first long flight time rocket launch of the new era. Mr. Ryan (Harlem) and Mr. Freeman (Kandistan) enjoyed watching their rocket soar to new heights and successfully deploy its parachute to achieve a hang time of over 30 seconds. For this technological advancement, each researcher has brought back 2 Technology MARs (10 WIDs) to their respective countries.

Bank Fees Plaguing Some Nations

Despite many efforts through trade and banking, countries are still finding their CWI dropping due to nagging bank fees. 10% MAR fees are assessed from a country's highest MAR holding if any holding is below minimum balance.

Here are the latest fees reported from the WWB for insufficient funds at the close of business on 10/2/2008:

Fortisian Union: -2 Food (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Aeridis: -2 House (WWB Insufficient funds fee)
Dystopia: -3 Mil. (WWB Insufficient funds fee)

NDL Press Release - October 1, 2008

In an effort to increase the efficiency and ease of transactions at the Widmar World Bank, the WWB managerial staff would like to announce the following change to the fee processing method, effective immediately:

A one time fee of 20% of the WID value of the transaction will be assessed in lieu of the previous fee schedule (10% of the WID value of MARs sold added to 10% of the WID value of MARs purchased).

This change preserves the original transaction fee amounts outlined in the NDL Charter, changing only the point in the transaction at which fees are deducted. It is the hope of the WWB staff that a streamlined fee assessment will aid in the ease and accuracy of calculations performed by NDL Citizens wishing to conduct business with the WWB.

The WWB Transaction Form (available on the NDL website) has been revised to reflect these changes. If you have any questions, please contact the Customer Service Department of the WWB for further information.
