History
The Economy Department was created with the implementation of Departments and Ministers by Sword KoA on January 22, 2011. Before the Department was created, the economic aspect of the clan existed soleley as the Clan Bank, which was managed solely by the Grand Elder.

When Clan Citadels were introduced on July 26?, 2011, the Economy Department adopted responsibility of Citadel management. The Citadel management within the Economy Department was led by the Minister and alsoa Citadel Resource Manager. On January 16, 2012, the Citadel Resource Manager position was used as more of a supporting role with Citadel Management, and the Citadel Overseer rank was created to be the leader of Citadel management. Zigman32 was appointed as Citadel Overseer when Baba O Riley was appointed as Minister.

On June 2, 2012, the Treasury and Citadel Subdepartments were implemented within the Economy Department, creating a clear distinction between Clan Bank related affairs and Citadel affairs. As Citadel Overseer, Zigman32 was appointed as the first Subminister of Citadel, and Spiter 88 was appointed as the first Subminister of Treasury.
