Well done for reaching level 7 and earning your first lot of gold (either 5 or 7). Every level from now on will get you another 5! This article will look to what you can do next in (or outside of) the game.
Newspaper
Once you reached level 4 you were able to start your own paper. However you probably couldn’t afford the 2 gold required to start one. Well now you can! Once you have a paper you can get your thoughts, ideas, complaints etc out to the world, just like others do! Papers are also a great way to publish your manifesto come election time.
If you write articles others are interested in then they may subscribe to your paper. For every 100 subscribers you get a Media Mogule medal and another 5G!
Start a Company
Working for someone else? Prefer to run your own empire? Well now you can. Companies cost 20 gold to set-up so it might be a bit longer before you can start your own. Whether or not you start a raw material company or opt for a full product, it can bring a lot more to the game than you may think. Competition is tough for both employees and selling your products so don’t think it’s an easy method to make money! Those that are successful at both can find a nice extra profit for themselves though.
Advice and help can be found with the MoHA. Simply get in touch and we’ll help guide you through the process of setting up and running your own business.
Forums & IRC
You may have seen this plenty of times before, but the forums really are incredibly useful to get yourself immersed in the game. This is where discussions, debates, polls and more take place. Even better is the chance to get free food daily so check them out!
The next port of call is the IRC channels. We can be found on the Rizon server in the #e-uk channel, if you are new to the game then stop by and say Hi. Throwing yourself in there really is the best way to make the most of the game!
Ministry Work
Now then, work might not be the best term for it but working in a Ministry is a great way to help out the country. The experience gained will also help you out with any future elections, positions or even just making new contacts! There are currently positions available at the ministries so just get in touch with their leaders if interested:

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.
