Salary Update
Following a review of the old GBP / Gold scheme, I have decided to revert government wages back into GBP. Despite the fact that the system was favoured by many workers in the UK, the scheme required an input of gold to keep it running. I was more than happy to do so previously, however, given recent developments in this country, I have instead decided to keep the gold in my accounts, and offer people the option of working directly for me.
However, a return of the system is not completely off the table. Having reviewed my calculations, I have altered the value of products to better reflect the prices found on sutrade. By working in GBP, we can still produce products for the UK, which after a certain threshold has been reached, would allow us to sell the excess. This in turn could be used to generate gold, which would allow for the return of the split salary.
How is the salary worked out?
In an effort to be more transparent about how these prices are worked out, I will start by saying it is all based upon your Eco Skill and the productivity that comes with that. From a raw Q5 company, it uses the productivity of each skill level and multiplies that with the value of the product, based on sutrade prices. To prevent varying salary for the same skill level, I have set this figure to 0.014 gold. That resulting figure is then divided by the current GBP / Gold ratio, which is currently 0.0995, to provide the equivalent value in GBP. Finally, the figure is then reduced by 2.5% to provide a salary.
The reduction aims to create a small profit margin for the United Kingdom, which means if we have to sell the product, we can do so for a small profit. As a country, I do not think it should aim to create vast amounts of wealth. I would rather pay a good wage, to help our citizens populate our product market, and have the ability to purchase supplies.
For generating additional income for the country, it should be noted that some manufactured goods can be sold for a higher price than was paid in wages for both the raw material and the end product. However, to ensure a standardised wage across all companies, that does not compromise the bank balance of UK Org, these factors are not considered due to varying prices across different products. I would like to keep this simple, while allowing private companies to compete for workers.

Instead of asking people to move around, the government will instead keep offers open on the job market. These offers will be focused on companies that require workers. So if we are running short on iron, offers in weapons companies will be removed until the stock levels improve. As a last resort, workers maybe be asked to move, or additional raw material will be purchased by UK Org.

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. Its 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.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
