Article
Yesterday I ran out of time to post the article for the Department of Treasury & Commerce that’s why today you will see a double edition of the RDK program. Prior to the elections we will write every day a part for every department, the departments we cover are:
- Department of the Interior (Home Affairs)
- Department of State (Foreign Affairs)
- Department of Treasury & Commerce (Finance & Economics)
- Department of Defense
Today we will cover the D.O.T. and D.O.D. Everything is coming really close now!
Economic Specialization
Because of many productivity bonuses, the only products we can produce here with the maximum productivity bonuses are Food & Grain. Because we got a ‘lucky’ hit with grain RDK suggests we specialize our markets to a complete food & grain market. In the long run this means we can produce a lot of these products, which can be sold on both the Dutch and foreign markets. We would have to import other products from foreign markets, but because of our export we will be able to keep our country at maximum productivity and at a good economic position. In order to achieve this we need to make a clear statement that Grain and Food companies are being sponsored best. And we have to adjust our taxes accordingly.
Taxes
RDK thinks we need to take a good look at the taxes within the sNetherlands. Right now there are taxes which still stand from the first draft at the creation of the Netherlands. We think some are a little bit outdated and we think that this needs an update. To implement the economic specialization we need to raise income taxes on every sector except the grain and food sector. Import taxes need to be high on grain and food, and relatively low on the other sectors (about 15-20%). The VAT can be equal in every sector.
Monetary Market
The D.O.T. should be active in maintaining a good exchange rate for the NLG, especially to foster a good economic export climate. An important task would be to make sure our currency is stable and doesn’t fluctuate too much.
Transparency
The RDK thinks there should be a Minister of Treasury/Finance (see point below) who is bound by law to present a weekly scheme with all transactions, balance sheet and economic and financial report. This will make sure everyone in the Netherlands has full knowledge of our current economic situation.
Minister of Treasury & Commerce
Like we mentioned above we think it is essential for the Netherlands to have a Minister of Treasury who keeps track of the money flows within the Netherlands and who is responsible for its financial policy.
Budget for Treasury: everything what is left after all other departments are paid.
To summarize the The Royal Dutch Knights party its department of treasury and commerce plans come down to:
Fostering a good economic climate for both citizens as well as entrepreneurs, and giving transparent report on a weekly basis on our current financial state!
This concludes our plans for the D.O.T. Thank you for reading! Now we will continue with our plas for the department of defense.
sDutch Army
We want to improve the Dutch Army, right now we have 1 Military Unit, the Nederlandse Krijgsmacht. But we aren’t doing anything with this so far. As you were able to read in our D.O.S. plans, we would like to join an alliance, then we will have more opportunities to fight for a cause. But in order to that, and mean something on the battlefield we need to be very organized. Therefore we suggest a plan which will improve our army.
Military Unit
The Military Unit has right now 30 slots, which is perfect to start with at the moment. Now we need to increase the quality of our MU and let our soldiers fight more.
MU companies
We want to start a discussion on how to further improve our MU’s. We think having MU companies would be really advantageous to the MU and the activitiy within the army, but there is also a large sum of costs which is attached to that. But in principal we are in favor of adding companies to the MU’s.
Today are the Congress elections and if you like our plans, we want your vote!
If you can identify yourself with our plans you are more than welcome to join the RDK !
Royal Dutch Knights party
Royal is our treatment
Dutch(Netherlands) is our roots
Knights is that status we want for all
Thank you for reading, and we hope to see your vote on the RDK
Yours Sincerely,

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