The Auroran Central Bank issues the kirib and, by extension, regulates the quantity and availability of kiribs. As such, it has an indirect influence on inflation, interest rates and purchasing power of the Auroran member states as a whole. The Auroran Bank is founded through the Charter of the Auroran Central Bank. This document sets out the structure and operating mechanisms of the bank and provides the legal framework for the existence of the kirib. The bank's purpose is to issue and to maintain the price stability of the kirib.
The Board of Governors has supreme power over all matters concerning the bank. Each member has one representative on the board, with one vote. All members have an equal amount of shares in the bank. It elects a Governor to oversee its operations and administer its instruction. The incumbent Governor is Karn Edvon from Staynes. The bank is seated in Tarov, the capital of Tivot. The bank and the kirib exist outside of the political arrangements and mercurial alliances of the Auroran continent, insulating it from political pressures.
Value and users
The kirib is a fiat currency. That means it cannot be exchanged for a resource, its value represents (and subsequently fluctuates with) the strength of the economy of Aurora. The average value of the kirib during the 2017/2018 financial year is 1 KRB = 1 South Hills dollar. The value of the currency is guaranteed by the foreign exchange reserves of its member states, which are Absurdistan, Axdel, Baykalia, Blueacia, Dragonia, Emberwood Coast, Faethalria, Frorkstolm, Great Morstaybishlia Kothalria, Kostoria-Obertonia, Kostromastan, the Necraties Islands, Oceansend City State, Thalria, The Oan Isles, Tivot, Tuvaltastan, Vothetria, Xagrurg, Xiopothos and the Yor Isles.
