How eAmerica Can Succeed Financially
by D0minion
eRep economics are a very convoluted and labyrinthine expose of incomplete information and opaque financial data. The unsure expectation attached to a worker producing daily coupled with slim profit margins, high taxation, and market volatility means business without a dedicated group of friends is a tedious undertaking at best and a catastrophic loss more commonly. To maximize the potential gain for eAmerica as well as its ecitizens significant change and investment must occur, with the government providing both.
Firstly the recognition, much to the displeasure of role-players, must be made that real life governmental systems and fiduciary control bear little resemblance to the proper and profitable enterprises in eRep. In order for the government to attract and, more importantly, keep the attention of more U.S. players the government coupled with private business owners and patrons must provide placement for new players. (I only lay out the ‘need’ here, the ‘how’ is in the next paragraph) In years of online gaming I will attest that attracting players is only half the battle; making them stay and play is the other half. ERep is rooted in individual action and profit and lacks a cohesive hard-coded guild, tribe, or small(er) unit representation. Without a sense of belonging or purpose players are apt to quit. Without some outside authority, be it a friend or government, providing motivation a players internal volition to keep playing is greatly reduced. The government is the only agency in eRep with the ability to provide blanket jobs, food, training and advancement opportunities.
How this would be accomplished is the introduction of broad government contracts for private businesses who agree to take on new players and provide a stable work environment as well as businesses who would provide advancement for workers who prove reliable and capable. The two largest benefits here are the placement of new workers prompting them to keep playing and the proliferation of businesses in America. Not only would new workers be introduced to a systemic, inclusive program, a U.S. businessman could provide his country with a service and stop worrying about his profit margin; a win win win. The produce of a grain company would be purchased by a food company with a government contract to buy grain from guaranteed suppliers, with this food being purchased by the military to fuel our armed forces, meals on wheels to help young players, or simply sold on the open market as usual.
Arguments against this system I feel obliged to refute dually for their commonality and their imprecise logic are that this is akin to communism and that the government should not be responsible for such a program.
Without expanding into a rant about how the real world should have no bearing on our economic system here, suffice to say that the BEST system of enfranchisement should take precedence! Not the system we Americans feel most comfortable with as a result of real life.
With regard to the government’s involvement, the government is the sole body of authority that is hard-coded into this game. The amount of power and gold the government possesses would make this program a matter of tangible effort instead of a matter of theory.
In summation the government has a vested interested in seeing eAmerica prosper and increase in population. The program I lay out offers a course of action where currently there is inaction, and a plan where currently there is anarchy. Obviously this is a fundamental layout of what would be necessary to support such a comprehensive program, but for the sake of concision I will limit the article from more specific and numerous points. I am confident that through educated discourse and the refining of the ideas presented here that eAmerica could become the premier economic force in eRep.

Why have you not yet run for president, or worked your way up? We could dearly use someone with your incite to help better what is turning out to be the typical America, here in eAmerica.
Congratulations on winning the competition D0minion. Well deserved!
Nice work, slick.
I see only one problem with this. If the companies are to "stop worrying about their profit margin," and, as I assume you imply, pay wages as you feel is fit for these players, then the prices these companies would charge for their products would have to be higher, to make up for the increased salaries.
To keep the sales running, you're proposing that the government have contracts to buy from these companies, for the purpose of, among other things, funding the military with food and or weapons.
That means that they're spending more for weapons then then they would if they had purchased off the private market. This means that the costs of supplying the military would be much higher.
Unfortunately, the military does not have endless money, and is on a budget. So the end result of this program would be less weapons and food for the military.
