The Era of Tranquility marked a period in the political history of Makko Oko that reflected a sense of calm, unity among citizens and rapid growth and economic development in the aftermath of 2023, a year of chaos, protests, and an attempted coup. This era had relatively nothing of importance for 4 years that historically was important. Civil rights were better defined, the government launched an anti-corruption system to prevent the attempted coup from repeating and the people were relatively happy with their lives.
What came from the era was the first national credit system, which can be used to help identify good and bad recipients of loans and can be used to help determine what government benefits are available. In addition, mail services were greatly improved as well as access to government officials and offices and subsequent information that they had.
Credit system embrace
The concept of a credit system came to be after a professor at Mirdala University by the name of Anne Richards published a paper titled "Social Credit Theory: The Impact of Social Media on Personal Reputation and Responsibility" in July 2023. Another paper on "Why Credit is Foundational to a Working Economy" was published in November the same year going over the credit systems currently in-place at multiple different nations. The national Ministry of Finance launched a pilot of a credit system with the authorization of the Monarch and the collaboration of banks on March 20th, 2024. The pilot ended on January 5th, 2025, ten months after it had launched.
The Minister of Finance Steve Perez reported to OBC News at the time that "The pilot produced mixed results with some noticeable financial discrimination at play. We will innovate and hopefully have a working solution proposed by the end of the year." Steve, a member of the 4th Law Council, ended up proposing the National Credit Authorization & Disbursement Act on September 12th, 2025 and it passed overwhelmingly with 443 yes votes.
