The Director of Finance is a cabinet position in the Chief's Council in the Chiefdom of Osolia. The Director of Finance is responsible for managing the Chiefdom's reserves and maintaining the exchange of Diamond Cents (DC) and diamonds.

Creation and history

The Department of Finance was established on December 15, 2023. The first director of the Department was a point of contention for the Chief, who was undecided between Pud or Hydrogen, with both candidates having no clear downsides. To settle the matter, a coin was flipped and Hydrogen became the first Director of Finance.

The Department of Finance, under Hydrogen's leadership, then set to work establishing the diamond cent, Osolia's currency. The conversion rate of 128 DC per diamond was chosen after deliberations between the community, per Hydrogen's own suggestion.

Conversions began on the December 22, 2023, a few hours after the launch of the server. The Treasury, which housed all of the Department's diamond reserves, was temporarily placed in a basement in Hydrogen's Sahosam home.

The Department's assets were moved after the April 2024 Osolian general election to another temporary location at Michael Webb's former house.

On May 6, 2024, the Unite plugin was added which allowed Osolians to pay from their Osolia ATM account in-game. The plugin was extended on the 11th of June to add functionality for supporting sign shops.

After TriforceComet defeated incumbent Chief Michael Webb during the June 2024 Osolian general election, he decided to implement a new cabinet, and appointed Webb as his Director of Finance, where he served until December 9, 2024, when Webb resigned after Chief tz_scion implemented the Governmental Reorganization Amendment to abolish the Department of Finance and the Department of Events.
