In my previous article I talked about how increasing the flow of money via strengthening demand increases the overall wealth and advancement of our economy. I mentioned how our non-deflationary currency helped encourage spending rather then hording, benefiting our economy at large. In this article I wish to discuss a method of which we can use to increase investment across the board, and as a side-effect, player engagement.
The Stock Market is sector of which few participate much in, as it's difficult to make a profit and easy to make a loss. This is because control of most stock companies goes to the single majority share holder, with power being effectively non existent among the rest of the share holders. The majority holder whom is almost always a founder then effectively uses the stock company as his own personal money tree.
This is unfortunate, as the stock company module has the potential to be very profitable and engaging. New players could use it pool gold together in order to make Q5 Companies right off the bat and make ripples in markets they could not do on their own. This is the potential of which this proposal attempts to unleash.
I call for this government, to begin a program under the direction of the Ministry of Finance, in which Stock Companies would be formed with money form the treasury (100 Gold Each). Upon their formation, shares would be sold bt by bit to British buyers, targeting new players.
This would be done until every single government share has been sold, at a total price of at least 100 Gold, to cover the 50 gold used for forming the company and the 50 Gold starting funds left in the company. If the Government get's back more then a total of 100 gold from selling it's shares, it donates it to the stock company as additional starting funds.
Special care would be made to ensure that no one shareholder is sold too large a percentage of the company, however once the government has successfully sold all it's shares, the Stock company is left alone to be fully managed by it's own shareholders. This process can be repeated indefinitely with only a 100 Gold Investment, if one company is done at a time
After gaining complete control the stock holders are free to choose the CEO and have them choose the staff. These companies would be recommended to use their starting funds to make money on foreign fluctuating monetary market, at least until they can afford higher tier Companies. from their the share holders can also decide on when to have dividends.
Setting this would give new players something to do with their money, rather then having it sit in their accounts sitting around and only being used for purchases that don't make them any money, or saved up only to be wasted on a Q1 company, by helping them to come together and invest as a single larger entity. Giving them more power then it otherwise would have. All the while increasing our trade and national wealth.
Government pays for original money to start up stock companies.
Regular citizens would be sold shares, with no share holder being given too much control
Government would make back 100 Gold to start up by selling shares.
Any money beyond 100 gold would be donated to SC to add to start up funds
Government leaves New SC to own devices
New SCs would be encouraged to use starting funds for Currency Trading on foreign markets
They would grow from there and be a place for regular citizens to invest with confidence in.

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.
