Article
The correct approach, when entering this game, should be to build first a solid economical foundation and only then we could kick some asses.
The second conclusion that came out of the previous article was that until we will get to advance stages of the game we cannot sustain ourselves economically as hired employees and therefore the only option we have is to start our own companies, but before we will buy our first company there are few lessons we must read (Please do not buy a company yet).
One of the very first rules on business is "Know your market", I cannot emphasis on how much important is it.
As the first step of my "Know your market" article I would like to introduce you to the main elements of the game: Grain, Iron, Diamond, Oil, Wood, Stone, Food, Weapons, Gifts, Tickets, Houses, Estates, Defense Systems and Hospitals.
Since this article is a basic article we will focus only on the first ten, these elements are divided into two groups: raw materials and products.
Raw materials are used to fabricate products in a companies (\Factories).
The relations between these elements can be represented using the following table.
Using Grain we can produce food, Using Iron we can produce Weapons, Using Diamond we can produce Gifts and Using Oil we can produce Tickets.
Before select which of the ten factories is the correct one for us there is one last lesson we need to learn, the Productivity formula.
http://esim.wikia.com/wiki/Productivity_formula.
P = 10 * (4+E) * N * C * R * Q
Before continuing this is the time to mention the great Wiki pages the game has and to thank to it's great Wiki moderator .

The next article will deal fully with the Productivity Formula but for now I would like to discuss only one highly important component of the Productivity Formula, The R component (R for Raw Material).
R
For manufacture companies:
R=1.25 If region's country owns the appropriate high raw. (eg: Iron for Weapons)
R=1 If region's country do not own the appropriate high raw.
For raw companies:
R=1 In high regions
R=0.75 In medium region.
*From the Wiki page
From the description of this component, of the Productivity formula, we can deduce the first decision about our company we need to do is to select the industry type, Food, Gifts, Weapons or Tickets.
It will be best practice, for beginners, to stick to their own countries.
Every country has its specialized resources so when deciding on an industry, select an industry that your country is rich of.
Countries are divided into regions, it is not enough to select an industry that the country is rich of, we should also build the company in the specific region that is rich. (I have seen to many time factories for sale as second hand after the owner has understood, to late, that he has built the company in the wrong region, or even worse, just did not understand why his productivity is so low.
As a last note, if you have built your company in the wrong location instead of selling it for a fraction consider relocating it, it cost only 2 Gold + a ticket.
One of the responds I got to my last article was that there was not enough pictures and graphs and as it turned out this article had even less, sorry my dear
I will conclude with an old blessing, I hope you'll make a lot of money and I hope you make it honestly.

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.
