United Galaxies Council.	Federal Bank (FedBank).		United Galaxies Council.
FedBank Symbol. The UGC's Federal Bank (FedBank) is the central bank od the Council, managing the Council's currency, reserve cash supply, and setting interest rates by proxy. The FedBank possesses a monopoly on increasing the global monetary supply. They accomplish the latter duties by lending cash to commercial banks and saving and loans, which is then lent to individuals and businesses. The UGC's reserve money supply is also deposited in the FedBank, and transferred to a commercial bank on an as-needed basis to pay the Council bills. They also handle the regulatory duties of the commercial banks and saving and loans to ensure they are in fact properly run. The CEO of FedBank is referred to the Prætor. FedBank has hundreds of regional offices throughout the UGC, typically around 1 in every 10 systems. It is owned outright by the UGC, but the Prætor is not so easily removed from office; It is a lifetime appointment, with the Prætor nominated by the Chairman and elected by the joint Halls in Single Session by a simple majority. The Joint Halls can also remove the Prætor by a ¾ vote. One of the incentives to the creation of FedBank was the financial collapse of 2215; In one 12 hour period, 75% of the UWA's citizens lost 90% of their net worth as inflation hit records of as much as 25,000% in hours. Although this was a direct result of the Sunare Uprising of the same year (and therefore mostly corrected under force majeure laws), it still meant millions were left homeless and starving for several months; Many of them never fully recovered, and a few even died as a result of the totality of circumstances. FedBank is an independent institution, working separately from the executive or judicial branches of government, as its powers are derived directly from the Single Session of the Council.
