Greetings Britain, with congress elections coming up in a couple of days I figured I would write a presentation, just as any other good candidate should.
To function as a presentation I will make the case for a way to better help our economy.
As it stands, this government also has an effective ministry of finance, but managing government money and setting taxes isn't the only part of the economy. The trade that goes on between citizens foreign and domestic, is where the vast majority of the economy sits.
However for many people, participating in the finer details of the economy, like stock markets and contracts is not something they do often. Therefore our economic potential as individuals and a country is not reached, and the sums of gold gained in missions all not used to increase our national wealth as they can.
Even with those who buy companies, they find themselves unable to compete with higher quality (and therefore more efficient) companies in the product and job market, so the money they spend ends up being wasted.
Now assuming however, they are able to run a profitable company, they still won't do the best as they possibly could, as they would likely find themselves stuck with dealing with just local markets and if they did export finding themselves paying high tariffs on their goods. They can negotiate contracts, but as a small seller it's harder to get attention and find the right match for their product and company.
To help cope with the problems mentioned above, I suggest the creation of a British Trade commission. It would be operated by congress members and other trusted individuals and would have a set of functions foreign and domestic:
1. It would certify stock market companies who make effort to be transparent and profitable and encourage investment in the certified list of companies especially by new players with gold, putting their gold to work earning them more
2. It would help newbies understand and use the contract system to their advantage
3. It would help create new stock market companeis where players can combine their money to have it make more for them together.
4. It would help negoiate contract between domestic companies so that Raw material companies can deliver directly to customers
5.It would help negoiate contracts selling products to foreign companies, governments and Military Units
6. Working with the ministry of foreign affairs, attempts could be made to persuade foreign governments to make changes to make trade easier, like setting an exchange rate, changign taxes, lowering tarrifs
7. Working with the ministry of finiance, fair government loans could be provided, giving people access to more capital and getting an income off the money in the treasury, which could go into lowering taxes or increased spending.
I will push to create a British trade commission that can do either all or most of the above, as long as I get elected to congress.

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.
