I know what you’re thinking….
However before you start a company you have to get learned a little.
First a quickish overview. There are two types of companies, raw material companies and manufacturing companies.
Raw companies produce the resources needed for the manufacturing companies. They should be built in regions with high amounts of that resource. You can tell if a region has a high amount of a resource by going into the country tab, then economy, and go down to the region list. Currently we have our taxes set up to bring in foreign raw materials at a good price and we currently do not control any high raw regions. So I would advise not getting a Raw company right now.
There are six types of raw materials diamonds, grain, iron, stone, oil, and wood.
Diamonds are used for Gifts, Grain is used for Food, Iron is used for Weapons, Oil is used for moving Tickets, Stone and Wood are used in buildings.
Manufacturing companies use raw materials to produce products. Building companies such as hospital, defense systems, or houses don’t have much of the market and aren’t very profitable right now due to the large amount of resources needed to produce them. However the other four can be very profitable.
The amount of resources need for the other four are:
Food

Now a quick word from our sponsors:
Ok so now we got all that out of the way lets move on to obtaining a company.
Company’s you make yourself cost
Company Cost
Quality..|..Gold
Q1..........20 Gold
Q2..........40 Gold
Q3..........90 Gold
Q4..........190 Gold
Q5..........390 Gold
So before making one and spending that 20 gold check the company marketplace you could find one for 19 or 18 gold. You can find it in the Market drop down then just choose which country you are looking to buy one in. Doing this could save you a few gold or maybe a lot depending on what’s being sold for how much also don’t worry about the name you can always change it.
Unless you are going to wait to save up you might be getting a loan from someone to try and pay for one. If you save or take out a loan make sure you have a few gold extra for raw materials and worker’s salary. Also make sure you can pay it back in the time allowed, if you’re un-sure simply ask it the contract can be changed to be a longer period of time. Remember make sure to check and make sure before you accept it.
After you choose the company you want to buy/make you may need raw materials. There are two ways to do this the first is by going to the product market and getting them there. The others is to find a supplier and get them through contracts. I prefer the contract method mostly because I never see enough grain on the market to run my business but it is up to you.
Once you have your company and you’re Raws you need to get employees. Make sure you pay fairly but not too much, you still have to compete with others on the market. Also you may have to work for yourself during the start of you company for a while.
At the time of this article the wages are:
Skill Lvl..|..wage
6..............$6-7
5..............$5-6
4..............$5-5.30
3..............$3.50-3.60
2..............$2.50 ish
1..............$1-2.50
So we have the company, the Raws, the workers, now it’s time for the good money stuffs!
To find how much it just cost you to make your things use this formula:
Cg = (Pr / Mv) + (Ww / Mv)
Cost in gold = ( Price of raws for 100 / Monetary value per 1 gold) + ( Workers wages for 100 / Monetary value per 1 gold)
So for example lets say I need 200 grain for 100 products, I buy the grain for 20 RUB. 1 worker can make about 50 units and I pay each $5 USD. The value of a RUB is about 20 per gold and at this time he value of the USD is at $40 per gold.
So, Cg= (20/20) + ( 10/ 40)
Cg = 1+ .25
The total cost in gold would be 1.25gold.
So now take that total and use this formula:
Cg/ 100 = Pg
Cost in gold divided by 100 units equals how much you have to sell it at to break even.
1.25/100
0.0125 = Pg
To make a profit of double we would need to sell at 0.025
To see how much this is in a currency just multiply by the Money per 1 gold
0.025 * 40 = 1
So if you were to sell this in a place where 40 of their currency equals 1 gold you would sell at 1 of the currency if taxes are non-existent or really low.
When choosing where to sell Always Consult the all-Powerful Monetary Market and the prices of the same products on the product market. Also always remember taxes when you put up a sell order on the market on the bottom it will show you how much is being made after taxes are taken. A way to avoid those pesky taxes and make sure you will sell is by trying to get regular contracts with people. Leaders of MU’s or the government may be your best bet.
I’m getting side tracked and I think I got everything.
Dos
Make sure you have extra for Raws, wages
Make sure your product is in demand
Make sure you sell at a profitable price
Check the Monetary Market
Check the Product Market
Check the Company Market
Check Contracts
Only purchase/buy RM company's in high resource regions
Try to negotiate the price down on company's for sale on the market
Don’ts
Over pay workers
Over pay for materials
Take out loans you can’t pay back
Make a building company

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.
