Admin should add non-player characters who work and buy products, but do not fight. The NPCs would seek to purchase q1-q4 food and gifts from the product market. Each NPC would have a randomized preference for food vs gifts and a quality level of food/gift. In other words, some NPCs would want q2 food others q4 gifts. NPCs would buy as many goods of their preference off the market as they can with the money in their account. I would recommend 100 NPCs per region with the NPCs never traveling.
(1) Admin would add non-player characters who work for the highest wage available in their current country. In other words, when a region is conquered, the NPCs would switch currencies.
(2) Most NPCs would seek to purchase q1-q4 food, gifts, weps, and tickets from the product market. A portion of the NPCs would seek to buy gold from the MM with their country currency. Each NPC would have a randomized preference for product and quality. This preference would be adjusted daily. In other words, some days an NPC would want q2 food and other days q4 gifts. NPCs would buy as many goods of their preference off the market as they can with the money in their account.
(3) There will ultimately be 100 NPCs per region. One NPC per region will be introduced each day for 100 days. They will start at economic skill 1.
This proposal would have several benefits:
(1) By increasing the labor supply, multis would become less problematic.
(2) By ensuring workers for each region, each region becomes valuable.
(3) By increasing the number of workers and buyers of low quality products, new players can become involved in the economic part of the game.
(4) By introducing a consumer market, there would be a purpose to the economic portion of the game other than merely to support fighting.
(5) NPCs could later be altered to participate in the political aspects of the game. For instance, NPCs would are not obtaining their desired level of products could vote against incumbents, etc.
(6) NPCs could later be altered to purchase houses and estates, making those companies more valuable. In other words, the NPCs could "save" some of their country currency towards buying houses/estates.

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.
