In particular, national banks play a pivotal role in financing the nation's leading industry, arms manufacturing. With substantial government budgets allocated towards defense and major corporations like [[Shockwave Industrial]], national banks are deeply involved in providing financial services and investment and are entrenched in the military-industrial complex of Caphiria. National banks are rumored to host a secret consortium which comprises top bank executives, arms manufacturing moguls, and select government officials. This council is speculated to clandestinely shape the financial strategies supporting the arms industry. National banks, do however, issue exclusive bonds to the arms manufacturing sector. These bonds, known as Arsenal Bonds, are backed by historical artifacts and secret reserves that provide massive, undisclosed funds to key defense projects and are highly sought after by elite investors.
