Phase 1 Update
Phase 1 is going well. We just paid our first dividend just 6 days after opening the Q5 weapons company – the total amount was 14.09 gold, which represented 0.214 gold per share. The normal dividend was processed, then each shareholder was given an additional 0.2g gold per share via direct donation from the CEO. The dividend amounted to a 4.28% return over 6 days – or a 21.24% return per 30 days – a fantastic start for the company.
The challenges faced so far include needing more working capital, downward pressure on prices overall, and lack of selling outlets. The 4.23g CEO dividend (4.03g plus 0.2g not distributed to our one banned shareholder) has been transferred back to the company to bolster our working capital. There’s nothing we can do with respect to the downward pressure on prices, short of diversification of products so we don’t clog the market with oodles of the same product – our next Q5 company will be a different type (see below for Phase 2 plan). Lastly, public companies are forced to sell their product on the market – there is no other way to unload it. This means you’re competing with other sellers on the market, and you must accept the price you can get there. There is potentially some ways to manipulate this, but right now they aren’t allowed – hopefully the admins will soon allow public companies to transfer items and/or enter into contracts with individuals which would then alleviate this problem.
Phase 2 Plan
The overall game economy is truly in the toilet. Prices are dropping rapidly – and the slew of new Q5 companies being made (ours included) are flooding the market with products that can’t be soaked up with very large battles among large countries. Having said that, there is still some opportunities to make money – and if and when the economy does rebound, those with companies and resources will be in position to make good money.
For Phase 2 of this company, we’ll be setting up a Q5 Gifts company in Azores Portugal. Unfortunately there is not an option to make a gifts company in the US, so we’ll have to settle for Portugal, which has a similar job market (though smaller job market) as the US. The budget for Phase 2 is 420 gold – 30 gold for working capital and 390 gold for the Company itself. To date, we’ve put just over 180 gold into this public company – more than 40% of the total amount put in.
Our current plan is to fund an additional 50 gold for Phase 2, which will cover the 30 gold working capital, and 20 gold of the company cost. The remaining 370 gold will be funded by selling 74 additional shares at 5 gold a piece. Similar to Phase 1, we may put in additional gold if needed to get the company going. Keep in mind that in the event we don’t actually get Phase 2 underway for any reason, your share will be purchased back for 5 gold.
Phase 2 Dividends
Please note that all Phase 2 shares will NOT start to receive dividends until the new Q5 company is fully funded and operational. Until that time, only Phase 1 shares will receive dividends (NOTE: Phase 2 shares will receive the small dividend from the system, but not the direct dividend paid via the CEO shares. Once Phase 2 is operational, the dividends will still be split the same way as Phase 1 – 28.3% of the income goes to the CEO (and from there, to the MU), with the other 71.7% of the profit sent to the investors on a pro-rata basis. With an additional 74 shares being sold and 47 already sold, the expected dividend per share will equal 0.5925% of the total income of the company.
Expected Phase 2 Return
As noted in the Phase 1 plan, the Phase 1 dividends will earn a lower return as we roll out additional companies. The expected profit in Phase 2 is between 4 and 5 gold per day. The monthly profit during this phase, then, is estimated to be 120 to 150 gold. With each share earning 0.5925%, the expected monthly return per share is 14.22% to 17.77%. As noted previously, returns aren’t guaranteed and may be higher or lower based on company performance. The guarantee is that we will do our best to properly manage the companies to ensure the best performance we can get given the market conditions.

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.
