The most obvious thing you'll probably think of is starting your own company. You should know that it's not as easy as you might think and that you can even bankrupt by doing so. That's what this article is about.
First of all, there are two kinds on companies - product and raw material.
Raw material:
These are the hardest ones.
When starting a company first you should look at is how much gold you've got. Raising a Q1 company costs only 20 golds but it doesn't mean it will be successful. Many new players think that "oh well, i have 20 golds so i'll buy a grain company. I'm sure i'll able to make it work somehow." You WON'T! It's impossible to earn profits with a Q1 or even a Q2 raw company - if you're looking for a raw company you should collect at least 190g and buy a Q4 one. If you're a good businessman you can earn some profits. Click HERE to calculate if your company is in profit.
With raw we're talking about 6 different types of companies - iron, grain, oil, stone, wood and diamonds. For a new players these are the ones you should build - either grain, iron or diamonds. Grain is used to make food, iron to weapons and diamonds to gifts - all very used products and therefore you'll find buyers.
A very important thing to mind with these companies is where you will locate them. You can only build a raw company in its resource region. Every type of raw company has its own resource regions (e.g. diamond region, iron region etc.) and every country usually has 1 high raw region of random kind. By "high" i mean that raw regions are also divided into 2 categories: medium raw and high raw. Medium raw means your company's production won't be as big as possible yet the costs remain the same as when you build your company on a high region. Therefore high region maximizes your company's production. Simply put: DON'T build your company on a MEDIUM region!
Ireland has one high raw region and it's high iron.
Product companies:
Wayyy much easier.
Good thing with product companies is that you don't need to be rich to star one and make profits.
With luck you can start up with a Q1 weapons company and make profits. Another suggestions - Q3 food or Q1 ticket company. Both products are used a lot so you'll be able to get rid of your stock fast.
You can start product companies anywhere you want, although it's good to check if the country where you're buying/creating the company holds its capital because otherwise you'll make 20% less products.
Don't buy hospital companies because no one will buy hospitals. With stone and wood you'll also have trouble of not finding enough costumers. House and estate need a lot money for production so for that you should already be rich. With tickets people only use Q1 and Q5. Weapon, food and gift companies are fine.
Primary things you have to worry about is paying your workers and buying raw material to keep the company working. For buying raw materials and selling your own products you should use IRC (so to skip paying taxes

I hope i captured the basic stuff.

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.
