First of all thank you for voting me in congress
As promised in my campaign article there are a few issues i will lobby for during my congress period.
And do not worry i have a keen sense of not letting myself manipulated, prof look at this pic
For now in this article i wish to offer a few tips & tricks that might help you in your regular esim life. Most of which i am sure you know already.
1 Work every day.
o yea, it does. Always keep in mind this game is different then some other we most know, here Hard Working medal is 30 consecutive days. So even if you heard this a million times i will repeat it. WORK EVERY DAY.
2. Read a dam guide
before you start doing something in this game, you do not know. A good place to start reading DOE Information Web or our beloved Wiki . Trust me if you fallow this you will save yourself a lot of time and even a few $$.
Also visit the forum and IRC from time to time, you will find a lot of friendly people around.
3.Always use Contract module for out side the market trades or loans.
Be very grateful we have it and use it. Do not let yourself convinced by "send me the item via donation i will pay double" kind of msg, or "send me 10g now i will send you 15 tomorrow but i cant make a contract because i am bugged" most probably this kind of promises are a lie, do not get fooled.
4. To all the news writers out there : always save wile writing.
Trust me on this one 
I personally use a draft email to save often, copy paste there wile making the article, save draft. Even if my PC gets on fire i still have the article on a nice email server.
5. When you start a company if is a raw materials one do it or buy it in the proper HIGH region, if is grain do it in a grain high, if it is iron in a high iron, if is wood etc. Under Country - Economy you can find which are high regions and which are not Country Economy . High region = max bonus on production so is a must.
Also for a final product company my advice is to do them or buy them in the high region of there raw, like weapon company's in high iron, food company's in high grain, house company's in high wood, tickets in high oil etc. This is not a must but is a good thing.
Why? Simple: For the bonus on production a final product company needs a high region of that raw in the country and the country to control it's Capital. So if your company is in any other region then the high region and the high region gets conquered you lose bonus for a wile, but if it's in the high region even if conquered you can still produce to max bonus.
6. Never allow over working in your company, remember Productivity Formula best company profit is with 4-5 employs, if the market is going well you can allow 6-7 to work, but that should be maximum and only when you sale with good profit fast.
7. If you want to do a company in a foreign country don't chose the country by the pretty colors on the flag, chose smart: check population numbers, income tax, job market, if it owns her high region or is conquered, loaned, if it has it's Capital region, if is in the verge of war or not. A lot of things matter but if you prepare right you will win good.
8.Use a company calculator for god sake, a lot of people whistle the all business part of this game and when they start losing money cry. A good calculator Company Calculator , any way pls post in coments if you know betters ones, this is the one i use.
PS. the most accurate company calculator is the build in one from premium account so thing about helping the game out and also have a nice tool Premium Account Features
When you calculate your profitability NEVER calculate yourself work at 1 usd(if you work in your company) but calculate at how much you would have earned if you would be employed at current market price. Also always calculate the raw's you use costs, even if they come from your other company, remember you can sale them if you wouldn't use them!
9. Try skipping a few taxes if you can
Use contracts for selling stuff, higher with 1 usd and pay employs via donations etc.
This is not a very nice way to play from the good citizen point of view but it shore helps you
10. When you start a business be prepared to have stocks! so if you have 20 gold don't jump on buying a Q1 company wait till you have 25-30 gold so you have money to buy raw's if necessarily and pay employs, even be ready to have a 1-5 day stock to be able to sale at a decent price. Remember if you do not have raw's or cash at you, your employs cant work so they will quit job and look for another.
Best is to start from Q2 or even 3 on raw's company's and on final products company's at Q1 aspect very little profit.
11. When you plan to sale products on another market, then your citizenship, check the IMPORT TAX, be shore you are actually making a profit not losing money to that country budged.
If have a few gold laying around and plan to do a resale on your own market, consider this : most probably the products your country doesn't produce are more expensive then in the country's they are produce. Example gifts, most probably in Sweden, who has high diamond region are cheaper then USA who doesn't. You can investigate that, or try buying from #strade channel with via in game contract.
But again, at resale be ready to have a stock, try not to concentrate on slow selling products like tickets, or houses, hospitals. Or Q2/4 food, gifts, weapons (my opinion).
12. A safe way to make money, but it is slow and in small amounts, is the Monetary Market, example you can sale gold for 50,3 USD and sale USD for 0,2 gold each. So every gold you sale will bring you 50,3 USD but every 50 USD you sale will bring you 1 gold
So by selling gold and after selling USD you earn 0,3, so if you play around with 50 gold you actualy can win 15 usd once the cycle is complete. Problem is many do the cycle = takes about 24-48h.
Try France perhaps
? There MM is active but much smaller.
13. If you give a loan out check who is the person you give it to, how many company's he has, how does he manage them, if is in a MU or not, if he has more loans or not etc. Talk to him a bit, get to know him. Ask the reasons he wants the loan and if he can pay back.
Is just common sense but if you fail on it you will lose your money, remember that.
If you want to invest in a share company check the company very very thoroughly, from who is the CEO, how did he get in that position (bought some one out or he builded the company), what in game experience he has, look at his medals, at his paper, who is he working with in the company if any others. Check what assets the share company has, how many production company's, how many employs at what job pay, how many products does it sale, history logs, when do they pay dividends, how the share evolved in the last days, weeks etc. Ask around.
Be well prepared and you will succeed.
grim the reaper advice : You should also not invest in companies where the stock price is too high or too low. To high means speculators are trying to get your money, too low and the company may not be doing too well or just trying to get your cash.
14.
HUSTjunbear advice :" most important: ask elder players for advice before you make a decision,they always know more " - 100 % correct, if you have doubt never hesitate to ask an elder player.
15.And the last tip i can give you, is not actually mine but from
Molly Emma and i hope she doesn't mind i post it here in this article :

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.
