I am just playing my first game as England, and reading the guide says it recommends National bank? But why do I need it? I am 300 years into the game and never had inflation go over 2%.

The guide is written for In Nomine (and earlier), in which there was no way to generate good advisors with cultural tradition. With half-decent Masters of Mint being far from a sure thing to get randomly, NB was next to obligatory to get any amount of cash without causing inflation. It's priority went way down with HTTT due to the ability to get 5-6 star MoMs almost throughout the game, rather than 1-3 star ones occasionally.

Ok thanks, I thought there might be some hidden reason for England to get it, like some decision or something else.
For example I had to get 2 Naval National ideas temporarily just to get Wooden Wall decision, then after that I got rid of them.
