The Council for Fiscal Responsibility is an international organization comprised of fiscally conservative political parties that support balanced budgets, free trade, and responsible government. The Council for Fiscal Responsibility was originally founded by the United Barmenian Reform Party in 2550 as a response to the economic depression taking place in Barmenia at that time; devoted to pulling the nation out of economic crisis, the Council for Fiscal Responsibility quickly rose in power and prominence, both within Barmenia and around Terra so much so it became an international political organization.
