本想談談台灣武器市場與援助越南兩大議題,但服三那邊冒起經濟議題,那便談談經濟。

何謂貨幣?
貨幣是一種政府認可指定本國市場交易所使用的兌換卷,只要你手持貨幣,就可以換得東西。


貨幣,就是一種信任,大部份情況下,貨幣背後支撐的是貴金屬,歷史上亦有貨物本位政策,通常實行貨物本位,就是因為國家經濟體系崩潰及貴金屬不足,例如威碼共和國時代的「地產抵押馬克」,便是一例。

回到中國,秦漢開始,便開始使用貴金屬作為買賣工具,我們比較熟悉的有五珠錢,因為重如其文,五兩就是五兩的價值。安史之亂後,江南經濟迅速發展,加之國家糧食仰給南方,貿易繁盛,促使了「飛錢」的出現。簡單來說,就是「本票」。宋代開始,鈔票才正式由國家發行,名為「官交子」。明清期間,開始實行銀本位政策。民國年間,則由銀本位轉為金本位,而E-SIM各國現在是實行金本位政策。



貨幣為何貶值?
因為貨幣是可以濫發的,我們以金本位計算,國家儲備有100金,市場流通100台元。那麼,匯率便是1兌1。後來,國家發行100台元,市面流通200台元,匯率便成1:2。反之,市場流通50台元,匯率便成1:0.5。因此,貨幣價值往往視乎其流通量而定,亦即物以稀為貴。


市場與貨幣有何關係?
除了上述所說國家貨幣與黃金的關係,國家的局勢亦會影響匯率變動。
在這之前,先簡單化理解一下市場與貨幣的關係

以現實世界的匯率為例,美元兌德國馬克是1:1.46288,歐元則是0.74796。
其中一個因素是歐元可使用範圍是整個歐洲,市場遠較德國馬克大,所以其價值自然較高。必須重申,這只是其中一個原因。

貨幣的價值亦會視乎市場物價而有所波動,畢竟貨幣的出現,就是物與物的交易。通貨膨脹涉及金融體系,那就不談了,就談談簡單的供需關係。由於很簡單,就以10個人爭1個面包與10個面包供應商爭1個客人略過……



戰爭如何影響貨幣價值?
除了上述人民生活質素與人均消費水平外,國家是否穩定亦會影響貨幣價值。就是有沒有戰爭與內亂。

現實世界中,戰爭會摧毀本土產業,影響貨品產出,供應減少,貨幣價值亦隨之下降。

但E-SIM沒有工業被毀的設定,不過有異曲同工之妙,當領土被佔領,工業會轉移給敵國,所以本國所持工業數減少,供應減少,貨幣亦會隨之下降。

最後,E-SIM的打法依舊很原始,就是沒有國家發動經濟戰。經濟戰簡單來說,就是恐慌性拋售敵國貨幣,大量收購敵國黃金或外幣,導致經濟崩潰。1997年金融海嘯,便是這種情況。當然,要成功,還是需要依靠信息,因為各國知道是美國金融大鱷重金來襲,人民不相信國家有能力抵抗,因而跟隨拋售,加速貨幣貶值。

貨幣,就是信用。當人民不相信政府或貨幣,貨幣便會成為廢紙。

筆者愚笨,不吝賜教。

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.

"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"

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.
