. I have not posted news for about three weeks. I was pretty busy IRL and also had to manage many things in E-Sim. Our Bank was also not very active lately, but I try my best in managing it.
Anyway, here we go.
First of all, war with Italy. Italy recently became third largest country in E-Sim with 1037 active citizens, while we have only 255. On top of that, after initial success, we experienced lack of key players presence at critical moments, along with inefficient supplies and companies management (WORSE day was 23 and 24, lol). As a result, we lost two important battles. However, we managed to suppress RW in the last occupied Italian region, and right now we are defending it against one more attack. If we win current battle, we'll get the initiative back.
Economy, however, is something we can be actually proud of. Keep in mind that we have only 255 citizens.
Our main idea was to create a free market with decent volume of trade. We tried to avoid state monopolies and tried to maintain liquid currency, which value is backed up by working market. As a result, the org owns few companies, but in exchange, we have decent economy which is working, unlike in many other bigger countries.
Switzerland
Q1W - 1669 units / day or 1168 CHF / day
Q5F - 194 units / day or 679 CHF / day
Q5G - 53 units / day or 453 CHF / day
Iron - 1400 units / day or 252 CHF / day
Grain - 355 units / day or 131 CHF / day
Trading volume: 2683 CHF / day or ~230 gold / day.
MM daily volume: 218 gold
Just to compare, let's take a look at Russia (449 citizens)
Q1W - 733 units / day or 733 RUB / day
Q5F - 37 units / day or 243 RUB / day
Q5G - 61 units / day or 622 RUB / day
Grain - 0 units / day or 0 RUB / day
Diamonds - 337 / day or 67.4 RUB / day
Trading volume: 1664 RUB / day or ~100 gold / day.
MM daily volume: 141 gold
We have twice less population and still twice more market trade volume. CHF is also much more liquid than RUB (market/mm ratio).
On top of that, we still have not printed money, because we do not try to sell org CHF on MM in aggressive way and let people who work, trade or do business in Switzerland to sell their currency first.
As for expenses, vast majority of org CHF was spent on salaries in one Iron and two Weapon companies. Some part of it was sold through MM for gold or given as a loan to those who run companies in Switzerland (actually S.T.C., which pays dividends to many Swiss citizens on regular basis).
All the guns we produced have been given away as supplies, we do not trade or sell them. Some people (like me
) donate gold after receiving it on voluntary basis, but those who work on state companies usually receive them without any charges. Yes, this way org does not accumulate profit. But we can't afford losing damage while we are at war and have huge disadvantage in amount of citizens, and we have been constantly being in war in last 10+ days.
Some part of the food (~10%, I dunno) was also sold on the market, most of it is given away as supplies.
Almost all the gifts that were given as supplies (a lot actually, like 200+, at least till day24) were provided by me, mostly free.
No direct gold or currency donations of any kind were given to anyone from the org, except loans (along with gold deposits) from Bank of Switzerland.
I actually wanted to say more, but I'm tired typing for today, lol. I'll try to post another article soon and put there everything I missed here.
and
WIN THE FREAKIN BATTLE

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
