Join the new world

The aim of this study is to establish and explore the relation between the number of companies and the number of employees in Erepublik.
The findings of the study proves to a certain extent the market saturation of companies and lack of workers in Canada as illustrated below:

This research eliminates the problem of inclusion of dead citizens in population statistics.
Total number of companies: 734 (this number includes non-operating companies)
Number of construction companies: 55 (max productivity at 20 workers)
Number of non-construction companies: 679
Voter turnout in October 5th election: 1219
New citizens per day = 96
It takes on average 8 days to reach level 6 (it can be from 6 to 10 days)
Active workers who didn't vote = 96 * 8 = 768
Total number of active workers = 1219 + 768 (63% of voters) = 1987 (assuming the population number is constant in a short period of time)

Ratio of workers to companies= 1987/734= 2.71
The ratio is not exactly accurate due to lack several statistics like number of non-functional companies, deaths (or players who turn inactive) per day, number of construction workers... etc
Ideally this ratio should be slightly higher than 10 if the number of operating companies was used instead of total number of companies. Unfortunately, this statistic can not be readily found (more research will be done in this area later on). Therefore the ratio will be used for comparison purposes only.

The ratio can be compared with other countries assuming that:
1- The ratio of total number of companies to the number of non-functional companies is the same around the new world.
2- The ratio of total number of workers to the number of construction workers is the same around the new world.
3- The population and number of operating companies is constant in a short period of time.

Ratio of workers to companies

Canada: 2.71

Polan😛 5.94
Croatia: 5.37
Argentina: 4.23
Russia: 4.11
Hungary: 3.41
UK: 3.27
Spain: 3.1
Romania: 2.87
USA: 2.41
Greece: 2.12
Indonesia: 1.1

A higher ratio shows a healthy state of the economy. Indonesia for example has one of the lowest ratios in the game because it is a crumpling empire full of dead citizens and non-operating companies. On the other hand, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Russia and Argentina are showing good signs of development and higher levels of productivity per capita. It should also be noted that the lower the ratio, the higher the chance a baby boom will be successful due to availability of jobs and food to sustain a sudden increase in the population.
