Grain and Iron
Right now, our raw companies are Q2 meaning that workers get a 20% bonus to productivity. Manufacturing companies by default have a 25% bonus to productivity, so there's a discrepancy between the amount of raw being produced and the amount of raw that's needed to continue manufacturing the end product.
I want to upgrade the raw companies to Q3. That will get workers a 40% bonus to productivity.
My plan is to let our stockpile of raw resources build up a bit, and then add a worker to the manufacturing side of the equation. If we have 8 raw workers and 9 manufacturing workers, then the raw resource consumption will be less than 0.5% higher than the raw resource production (as seen by calculating [ (8 * 125) / (9 * 140) ]). In short, there will be a raw resource deficit, but it will be minimal.
Iron and Weapons
It is also my intention to bring up the number of workers in Canada Iron to match Canada Grain and to bring up the number of workers in Canada Weapons to match Canada Food.
The downside to this is that our food production will not be enough to sustain payments of 10 Q5 Food to all our workers. At best, I think we could do 9 Q5 food without causing the stock we have in reserve to deplete itself too quickly.
The advantage is substantial. We would be able to double the number of weapons paid to workers from 10 Q1 weapons to 20 Q1 weapons. To summarize, we would have more employees (34 total), with each being employee entitled to receive 9 Q5 food and 20 Q1 weapons.
Gold
Given the recent influx of buyers of CAD (which, believe it or not, started before CEC was "returned" to Canada), our gold supply has shot up quite a bit and we can now afford these upgrades (50 gold per company, 100 gold total) without completely breaking the bank.
Before this unexpected explosion of gold hit us, I had thought it would be a while before I could suggest expanding our industry. But here we are - we now have the opportunity.
Closing Remarks
There need not be a referendum for this because, unlike war, expanding industry isn't a potential black hole for money; war might not pay off in the end, but increased production always does.
However, I will be listening to opinions. If there's significant opposition, I will reconsider my plans. If not, I will go ahead with them.

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.
