Very ironic, when talking about subject is worse then doing it!

Written for 1000 days anniversary of Primera.
Here are some ways how to steal/cheat others and not get punished. Written from experience and from what I saw
1. "Buy" and do not pay. Best way is to talk in game. Ideally "buy" products for MU and don’t pay. If you are up for bigger amount - "sell" you MU and when you get gold - do not transfer it. Its 100% legal and you wont get punishment of any kind.
You can do the same with #strade, just you will be banned from there, but not from game.
2. Sell shares of your Stock Company and right after you've sold (while there is still voting to remove you as CEO (takes few minutes)) - degrade all companies, sell products/currency at low price. If you wont take anything for yourself - you wont get punished but can help friends and Org in a big way.
3. Increase price of shares in your Stock Company by putting worthless currency on Monetary market at 10x price or more. People seeing that you sell shares for less then estimated value are much more likely to buy them.
4. As CEO you have many ways to steal from Stock company and not get punished. Main point is not to get too greedy. Pay small dividends weakly and keep share value about the same (can use advice above) so shareholders would be happy, pay salaries in gold so you skip some gold to yourself, buy products from SC at their making price for "selling" at other markets or #strade and actually keep all profit to yourself. Everything is legal and no one will say a word to you.
5. Many countries do not protect their Monetary market - try selling currency at 10x price. That is if usual currency price is 0.05g, put on sale @0.5g. There are always people who make mistakes and buy at 10x price.
There are many opportunities to steal if you are CP
6. Send products (weapons, food, gifts) to yourself from Org and everything will be ok. Just make sure that no one else can check what you are doing. If you will send resources and gold to your MU - no one ever will punish you. As CP you have a right to do whatever you wish. (its probably most popular way of stealing)
… you can even sell Org's MU at some cheap price and get part of gold for yourself/your MU.
7. If you PTO country and have majority in congress - you can simply print a lot of currency and send it to your account. Then buy everything from countries market at a very low price or save it for future currency price rise.
8. Create a ponzi scheme. Best to do it with Org so your personal account wont be banned for not paying back loans. Example, Org (even better if it has a name such as "Bank of XXX Org"
of some unpopulated country announces that for some reason it need gold and is willing to pay for example 10% per week (40% month). From money you get - leave some to pay "interest" and the rest spend in any way you wish . Best thing is - you can take loans and spend the gold and then debts leave to new government.
These are punishable by ban but are very popular way of cheating:
- Create multies (like with Thor) and buy your countries currency. You will get banned eventually but currency will disappear.
- work with multies in Stock Company where your friend is CEO and owns shares. Can even pay not full salary. Although multies will get banned - profit from their labor will stay in SC and no one else will be punished (like when ).
For those who are not familiar: if you get caught stealing from Stock company and Org - you will get just temporary ban and after a few days can play again.
I'm pretty sure i mentioned most. If I missed something - please let me know and I'll try to update.

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.
