The following is a proposal to change the way we as the eNL use our economy. With this proposal I intend to change our economy model from a production economy model to a trader’s economy.
The Three Markets
Production Market
Right now we have a production economy. In other words you produce products and you sell them on the local market. A major problem with this system is that you pay high taxes, people import products from other countries and sell on our local market at a higher rate, and finally theres the black market.
This system has the major problems that our wealth leaves our country for the materials we cannot produce. Also if our country is occupied, we receive no income because nobody can produce and our people are forced to go to different countries. The producers are then forced to wither pay import taxes, go to the black market to sell goods or shut down their companies.
Black Market
The second type of market that there is, is the black market. The benefit is that you don’t pay taxes. The downside is that you never know if you can trust the person you are trading with. Most of the time you need to make a contract that costs time. You need to try to find a buyer, that costs time. You need to be glued to irc in hopes of finding a buyer, and that costs time. Then you have all the people on there trying to sell you products on IRC. In the end you spend 30 min on irc with the hope that you sold/bought your products with the hope that you haven’t been ripped off! All to save on the high taxes and make a decent pofit.
Traders Market
So what if there was a way to combine the best concepts of two worlds? Well then you are left with th traders market. The concept is so simple.
Basically all you need is a stable currency and a country that has its taxes on 1%. Meaning Import and VAT combined will give you an effective 2% tax rate.
Say if we made the NLG this currency. We trade our currency at a standard of 1 NLG= 0.03 Gold. And lower our taxes to a minimum.
Basically that would allow everyone to trade in our market. People from all countries can buy and sell supplies without the hassle of going on IRC or the risk of fraud. The only thing that is needed is one territory to be liberated. As long as there are buyers and sellers we offer local producers the ability to sell their products to the world, and the world to buy and sell products in our market at a low cost. Since the eNL has a very small production market, the tax income loss from local production would be offset by the gains through simple trade.
In the end it’s the simplest of both worlds with the major benefiter, the eNL. After all the 2% over time adds capital into out country!
Any thoughts or ideas on this?

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.
