Teuina o Mea Taua

The Teuina o Mea Taua (literally: Storage of Valuables) is rumored to be the location of Stenza's gold reseve, which back up the value of the Stenzan Dollar. Some claim other valuable resources are kept on site as well. Little is known about Teuina o Mea Taua, with the available knowledge coming from leaked documents and rumors.

Description
The depository has been described as an underground collection of vaults to allow the compartmentalization of different valuable resources. "Multiple" rooms of gold have been described, with one source claiming other rooms are used for the storage of silver, historic art and possibly even depleted Uranium. Leaked government documents indicate that depository lies near a major military base on the country's mainland, although attempts to establish the precise location of the reserve have failed.

There is no current public estimate of the total value the contents of the depository hold, although the Stenzan government annually reports the size of its gold reserve in its financial reports.

History
The first mention of the depository is from 1932, when a picture of gold inside an underground location was published within the Stenzan as part of a celebratory article on how brave party warriors captured a cache of Corummese gold during the war for independence. No location was mentioned. The article did however name the location, when the unknown location was dubbed Teuina o Mea Taua.

Attempts at locating the depository have been met with government violence for the duration of the Party's rule, with those asking about or seeking the depository being arrested and sent to re-education camps. It was not until the 2022 Revolution that Stenzans were about to freely mention Teuina o Mea Taua without fearing arrest, although the government has yet to officially acknowledge the existence of the depository.

A journalist who claimed to have found the depository on social media in 2025 was found dead in his apartment before he could disclose it. Although the coroner's office ruled that the man had committed suicide, alleged eye witnesses state he was shot in the back of his head.
