Greetings Fellow Americans,
Tonight I take you on a journey to the wonderful and amazing market place where you can buy goods or sell goods til your heart is content so grab the popcorn and lets begin:
Lets go through this by the numbers starting with:
1. The any tab this when checked will bring up a list of all resources in order from cheapest to most expensive in honesty though I have found no use for this as typically a refined search does much better.
2. This is the Iron tab, the only real reason you would need to search iron is if you have a gun factory and need iron to make the guns or if you are playing the market by buying low hoping to sell high.
3. This is the grain tab again only need this if you have a food factory or are playing the market.
4. This is the Oil tab, oil is used in making plane tickets but unless you have a ticket factory it falls into the category with the previous two.
5. This is the stone tab, stone is used in the production of estates(more on that in a sec) but overall stone is a resource and falls in the resource category like the previous three.
6. This is the wood tab, wood is used in the production of houses and also falls in the resource category.
7. This is the diamonds tab, they are used in the production of gifts and they to fall in the resource category.
8. This is the weapons tab, weapons while not a must to do battle greatly improve your damage done they are available in 5 different qualities: Q1 least powerful and Q5 most powerful and are priced accordingly.
9. This is the house tab. Houses are available in the standard five qualities what they do however is: Q1 allows you to use 1 extra food a day, Q2 2 extra food, Q3 3 extra food, Q4 4 extra food and Q5 5 extra food these are added to your standard 10 limit. You only have to buy a house once for continued use and you can not stack the effects.
10. This is the gift tab, gifts by quality level restore life q1 restores 10 points to your life q2 restores 20 etc through q5 that restores life by 50 points.
11. This is the food tab. Food is used exactly the same as gifts and the quality levels are the same as well.
12. This is the ticket tab. If you want to travel on e-sim you will need one of these. Again 5 levels of quality. Quality 1 being standard means you only lose 40 life to travel fatigue, Q2 you only lose 30 life, Q3 you only lose 20, Q4 you only lose 10 and Q5 prevents any fatigue damage at all from traveling.
13. This is the defense system tab. To the average citizen these are pointless unless you would like to donate one to your government which then can put them in place to add battle bonuses when defending a region.
14. This is the hospital tab. Hospitals are pretty much like the defense systems as they too offer no direct benefit to one player and can only be put in place by government.
15. This is the estate tab. Estates are bought like houses and just like houses provide you with the ability yo use more gifts. You can own n estate and a house boosting both gifts and food no problem but again you can not stack effects by having two estates.
16. This tab allows you to check prices in other countries or all countries at once and is useful for bargain shopping but keep in mind you can only buy from the country you are currently in so if you find something you want in another country you will have to travel there to buy it.
17. This tab allows you to search a specific quality of the item you choose to look for and is very useful if you are wanting to buy higher end items.
18. This tab is what you click once you have selected a country, item type and quality to bring up your results. It brings the results up below the market panel and lists items cheapest first to highest last.
19. This tab allows you to post offers as well as show offers you have already posted when clicking this tab it will take you here:
So now a brief tour of selling items on the market:
1. This allows you to select the country you would like to sell in but again you must be in that country to sell things there.
2. This is where you select the type of product you want to sell from your inventory.
3. This is where you put in the quantity of the product you want to sell, you can not sell more than you have in inventory.
4. This is the area in which you put how much you want per unit you are selling if the sell amount is less than one dollar you must put a 0 before the decimal.
5. Once everything is set up this the button you push to post your offer.
6. This is the area that shows items in inventory and quantity is shown beneath the item.
7. This link takes you back to the market.
8. This area shows any offers you may have on the market.
Some key notes for the area that shows the offers you have posted:
Product= what you are selling
Seller= you
Stock= how many you have to sell
Price Gross= price you set before taxes
Price net= what you get once taxes are deducted
Vat= shows Vat Tax on product
Import tax= shows import tax on product
For information on taxes you can go to: The Country Economic Statistics Page (or just click this handy link)

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.
