note the logarithmic relationship :p
I was thinking it resembled a Keneysian Long Run Aggregate Supply curve.

The system is intended primarily for civilian use, unlike the United States system, which the U.S. military runs and uses on a primary basis. The U.S. reserves the right to limit the signal strength or precision of GPS, or to shut down public GPS access completely, so that only the U.S. military and its allies would be able to use it in time of conflict. The European system will only be subject to shutdown for military purposes in extreme circumstances. It will be available at its full precision to both civil and military users.
Until 2000 the precision of the GPS signal available to non-U.S.-military users was deliberately severely limited by a timing pulse distortion process known as selective availability.

Probably the same thing the Canucks say to us (albeit dollars)
Fitch, one of the three major ratings agencies in the world which judges the financial strength of countries and companies, cast doubt over the health and stability of A lower credit rating – indicating a greater risk of financial meltdown and default – making it more expensive for Scotland to borrow money on the international money markets. Around a third of Scotland's 4 million voters believe that Scotland should leave the UK and become independent, ending the 305-year-old political union with England. They believe Scotland's economy, its social policies and its creativity would flourish if it had much greater autonomy. A majority of Scots disagree. They believe Scotland is more secure within the UK. Scotland’s debts are currently seen as safe because it is part of the UK and the Bank of England can print money to keep the country afloat.
the pound Scots was the national unit of currency in the Kingdom of Scotland before the country entered into political and currency union with the Kingdom of England in 1707 by David I.
The Bank of England is custodian to the official gold reserves of the United Kingdom and many other countries. The vault, which is situated beneath the City of London, covers a floor space greater than that of the second-tallest building in the City, Tower 42, and needs keys that are three feet long to open.
The Bank of Scotland plc (Scottish Gaelic: Banca na h-Alba) is a commercial and clearing bank based in Edinburgh, Scotland. With a history dating to the 17th century, it is the second oldest surviving bank (the Bank of England having been established one year before) in what is now the United Kingdom, and is the only commercial institution created by the Parliament of Scotland to remain in existence. It was also the first bank in Europe to print its own banknotes; it continues to print its own sterling banknotes under legal arrangements which allow some UK banks to issue currency.
