Pirr (pR)

Pirr is the currency of Svendonia. It was introduced in Svendonia in the year of 1018 by then current Dulani Pirr.

History

At the age of 15 Dulani Pirr started to gain interest in material things. He began to gain interest in other people's possessions but needed a way to gain ownership of them. Shortly after his 16th birthday he invented and introduced the currency Pirr (shortened pR) to the public making it the primary currency. It is believed that the first thing Pirr bought for his newly created currency was the golden statuette of the Bird of Freedom, which is now exhibited in the Museum of Vegums in Duldul Gabana. The price was 9 pR.

Not long after Pirr had created the currency he had bought a larger amount of things that he suffered from insufficient money. He needed a way of getting some of his rP back so he introduced taxes in Svendonia. At that point the rules for taxes were fairly simple being that everyone who fulfilled one of these requirements had to pay 5 pR each month:

• If one owned a residence with a roof
• If one had more than 10 material things (animals and family members included)

The rules for taxes has been undergoing many changes since then and it is now believed that Svendonia has one of the most complex tax systems in the world.

Controversy

The first and major controversy in the early years of pR was regarding the first requirement for taxes. The rule was that if one owned a residence with a roof one had to pay 5 pR each month. It resulted in many people removed the roof from their houses in order to avoid paying takes. Others people tried to fool the Dulani by flattening their roofs and when asked they claimed that they were in the making of another level of the house, but had currently paused the project due to numerous reasons.
