Let's educate about stock market!
First of all:
What is the Stock Market?
When you think about it, the stock market really is a market. When a person buys stock, they are basically buying part of a company - this part is called a share. When you buy a share in a company, that company then uses that money to hire more staff, create new products, or anything else that might help them make money. Ideally, as the company grows, it will be worth more. If this happens, then you can then sell that share of the company for more than you spent, making money on the deal. Sometimes a company will even give you part of its profit in cash - which is called a dividend. If the company does poorly, you must either leave your money with the company and hope it does better, or sell the share for less than you paid and lose money. Basically there are two ways to make money : Dividends and buying shares while they are cheap and selling them later for higher price. Also, you can become an owner of a company, if you own 51% of company shares. All in all stock market is place where you invest with smart and trustworthy people, who can turn your investment into gain, not pain!
Let's Do the Math!
If all of this is confusing, you're not alone! People have been trying to figure out the stock market for years. Still, it may help to crunch some numbers! Let's say you buy 10 shares of a Nestor Investment Group (NIG) for 5 gold a share. That means you'll invest 50 gold (10 shares x 5 gold). If NIG uses that money wisely, then a share might later be worth 10 gold each, rather than the 5 gold each you paid. If this happens and you decide to sell your shares of the company, you will be able to sell 10 shares for 10 gold each, or 100 gold(10 shares x 10 gold). Over all, you will have made a profit of 50 gold. If the company does poorly and the price of stock drops to 3 gold, you may have to sell your shares for that price, which works out to just 30 gold. In this case, you will have loss of 20 gold rather than earning some.
But if you are smart enough, you will invest in NIG and not panic, prices go up and down, after some time you will be able to sell shares for a good price. It is like investing into a bank where you get money for nothing, so called interest. Here is pretty similar, but you gain interest + dividend. That means for 100g invested, at some point you can get several times bigger amount of gold for same number of shares + extra dividends paid to your shares.
Be smart, invest smart! It is market, prices rise and fall, support the company you invest into, don't turn them back, and you will be rich within few weeks. Everyone will want to buy shares of a good standing company, but you will have those shares, and you will decide if you will sell it or wait for share price to go up.
Hope we will make some good money together.
Best wishes,
NestorAnestos, NIG

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.
