It raises your rank from 9th place to 1st (or 5th place outside of China), and this rank is the biggest thing the Emperor looks at when choosing governors and ministers – even more important than your initial potential.

It’s a tale as old as time-markets full of hope, traders with their fingers crossed, and the Federal Reserve, like a rather large, influential magician, about to make interest rates… disappear. The consensus on this fine Tuesday? A rate cut in 2025 seems inevitable, and it’s about time, too!
