A.G.2031 Jan 14
New World Order — The Continental Rating Council
“Until now, no international body has commanded such credibility.
From Alliance to Global Standard
In May A.G. 2022, on the eve of its full takeover of the Sanstel System, Mike Don presented an ambitious blueprint to Darshoo [1] and TriCord [2]. With the data-infrastructure titan and the real-economy giant on board, the Sanstel Alliance was born.
Mass recruitment followed, and the system evolved rapidly: a globe-spanning distributed database with real-time synchronization; high-performance compute centers continually tuning AI models for credit scoring, transaction speed, and resource allocation; and smart terminals that fused daily behavior with automated credit settlement—no manual input required.
By April A.G. 2023, Sanstel had surpassed 300 million users across twenty of the world’s most developed nations and expanded from daily life into global trade. In the same year, the Alliance signed the Social Fundamental Safeguard Treaty (SFST)—later refined into the Sanstel Fundamental Safeguard Principles (SFSP)—with aging societies such as Weston [3] and Dibon [4]. National pension funds flowed into the system; Sanstel delivered benefits and encouraged seniors to keep contributing skills and wisdom, creating the first elder-care regime built on credit stratification.
NCAT and the Rise of National Access
In A.G. 2025, the Alliance opened the National Credit Accession Treaty (NCAT), launching the era of nation-state onboarding. Twenty-one states with a combined population of 380 million signed the first wave, accepting four core provisions:
Universal Access — Upon reaching “social majority” (21 years), every citizen receives about 1,000 SDR in starting credit [5].
Sovereign Binding — National ratings tie to governance, population credit health, and resource guarantees, based on plans submitted to the CRC.
Multitrack Support — Local currencies remain, but cross-border trade settles in SDR; states may establish Open Credit Zones (OCZ) [6] as transitional buffers.
Data Privacy — All data are shielded under the Personal Data Protection Agreement (PDPA), with fuzzed uploads inaccessible to any outside entity.
NCCO and the Birth of the CRC
As more nations signed NCAT, the National Credit Covenant Organization (NCCO) [7] took shape. In A.G. 2031, an international conference convened in Ramden [9], capital of neutral Viano [8]. Forty-three countries voted to form the Continental Rating Council (CRC) [10], an eight-member body to oversee global credit order.
That same year, Keystone Group completed its transformation into the sovereign Keystone Fiscal State [11] and became a permanent CRC member. Together, NCCO and CRC formalized the world’s credit-based governance architecture.
Between A.G. 2031 and 2041, Sanstel endured technical and political stress, refining the four-tier framework—individual, household, organization, state—that persists today. By A.G. 2045, 80 percent of cross-border trade settled in SDR; national currencies like Boken were largely relegated to local use.
Universal Reach and Remaining Holdouts
In A.G. 2047, the 109th nation—Vitibia [12]—joined, extending Sanstel to 6.3 billion people worldwide. Only a handful of states, led by Vezina [13], still rejected direct integration, yet even they opened OCZs to let enterprises tap the system under CRC oversight.
“Today marks Vitibia’s first Jubilee of the Grace Era.”
The Council’s Global Impact
Now the most effective governance organ on Earth, the CRC curbs unequal extraction that once characterized globalization, secures basic rights for poorer nations, and dampens the profits of war and unchecked expansion. By imposing systemic constraints, the Council offers a path to credit reconstruction—reshaping economic logic for a world entering an age of material abundance.
[1] Darshoo — The world’s leading information-infrastructure and data-analytics company; core member of the Sanstel Alliance.
[2] TriCord — A cross-continental conglomerate spanning manufacturing, energy, and consumer networks; also a core Alliance member.
[3] Weston — A constitutional monarchy and key credit-system nation; home to Keystone headquarters.
[4] Dibon — An old industrial power in Bosazia; among the first SFST signatories.
[5] Starting Credit — The initial 1,000 SDR (subject to coefficient adjustments by national, community, family, and school scores) granted when a citizen reaches social majority in the Sanstel System.
[6] Open Credit Zone (OCZ) — A designated area inside a state that has not fully joined the Sanstel System. Within the zone, companies and individuals may connect to Sanstel, and SDR can circulate alongside the local currency under controlled rules. OCZs serve as experimental buffers between the credit economy and conventional fiat systems.
[7] National Credit Covenant Organization (NCCO) — The umbrella body composed of all nation-states that have signed the National Credit Accession Treaty (NCAT). It represents the system’s outer tier of governance.
[8] Viano — A permanently neutral country on the continent of Evelon; widely trusted to host major international conferences.
[9] Ramden — Capital city of Viano and the site where the Continental Rating Council (CRC) was formally established in A.G. 2031.
[10] Continental Rating Council (CRC) — An eight-member council that functions as the highest arbitration authority in the global credit order, roughly analogous to a “Credit-era UN Security Council.”
[11] Keystone Fiscal State — The first enterprise to attain sovereign status. Formerly Keystone Group, it was elevated in A.G. 2031 and now holds a permanent seat on the CRC.
[12] Vitibia — A developing nation on the continent of Hela; became the 109th state to join the Sanstel System in A.G. 2047.
[13] Vezina — An authoritarian super-state in Bosazia. Citing data-sovereignty concerns, it continues to resist full integration with the Sanstel System, though it permits OCZs within its territory.
