Articles 161–165Currency and Financial Architecture
XityCoin is the official currency and sole legal tender for government transactions (Art. 161). It is 100% reserve-backed, 1:1 against the active anchoring currency, with every coin serialised and traceable to real-world reserves. The Constitution establishes a dynamic peg managed by the Xity Financial Currency Board (XFCB). Reserves must be fragmented across multiple jurisdictions with multi-signature withdrawal controls. A sovereign guarantee (Art. 165) pledges full faith and credit to preserve the 1:1 ratio even in a catastrophic breach.
Part XB
Articles 166–168Financial Governance
The Xity Financial Currency Board (XFCB) manages the dynamic peg, determines the anchoring currency, and monitors systemic risk. The Xity Financial Board and Authority (XFBA) is the principal monetary regulator, operating the Xity Central Bank and administering the capital controls framework. A Sovereign Restitution Trust Fund is established to automatically recapitalise the system in a security event.
Part XC
Articles 169–171Digital Identity and State Platforms
Every individual is designated by a Personal Xity Wallet (PXW); every entity by a Xity Corporate Wallet (XCW). All statutory obligations are settled through these wallets.

All transactions are recorded on the immutable state-authorised ledger.
Part XD
Articles 172–175Capital Controls and Financial Security

Tiered withdrawal limits during anchor-switching intervals. The government reserves authority to algorithmically blacklist and whitelist specific serialised digital assets.

Xity is a decentralised nation without fixed territory. The capital is a floating city capable of repositioning. Territory may include floating structures, artificial islands, and natural islands held by agreement. Xity may also reside temporarily within a host country.
