How to screw the enemy while making lots of money
Adam Griffin
So the US lost 1000 out of the 1900 American companies. And on top of that all the high resources regions. Unemployment skyrocketed and of course the wages plummeted. So what to do?
Well, guess what? eRomania has NO high-resources region and also has less than half the population of eUSA. In spite of that eRomania is the most powerful enemy of PEACE. How do we manage to do that?! By royally screwing the PEACE employers and governments alike. It’s time for the eAmericans to start doing the same.
Act 1: The fine art of smuggling raw materials
Any sensible businessman doesn’t own directly any company. He owns it through an organization. This way the organization can buy a plane ticket to an enemy country, buy raw materials there cheap and then donate them tax-free to his manufacturing company.
The beauty of all that is there is no VAT for raw materials so the enemy state makes zilch from this sale. Many Indonesian, Hungarian, Russian, Ukrainian companies are owned by Romanian organizations. Now you know why.
Act 2: The finer art of tax evasion
While the enemy state doesn’t collect VAT on the raw materials sold to a smuggling organization, it still has the possibility to collect income tax from the company and from the workers. So let’s screw the enemy government by buying from our raw material companies. Yes, those Q3, Q4, Q5 you have left behind when Indonesia/Russia/Portugal conquered those US states.
Remember that Serbian congressman posing as an “American Patriot” who was advising you to burn them down, to downgrade them? I made a comment then explaining why that’s a bad idea. Now here’s how you can turn them against the enemy:
Never take the profit out as dividends. Always use the Monetary Market. Let’s say your Q3 grain company is in Indonesian occupied California. If you make a profit of 1000 IDR have your organization make an offer to sell 0.01 Gold for 1000 IDR on the Money Market. Or 0.01 USD for 1000 IDR. Whatever is handy. Of course no one would accept that offer. No one except you company of course
😉This way the 1000 IDR (31 gold at current exchange rate) gets transferred to your organization’s account. The Indonesian government gets nothing.
Act 3: Stick it in without lubricant. The minimum wage death blow
When we want to really give the enemy a sore” back door” we fly in a commando to work for our companies under enemy control. All the 10 workers officially work for the minimum wage. Which means the enemy government would only collect the income tax on the minimum wage. The workers are compensated in weapons or cash donations. And they also fight red (for the resistance) during the Resistance Wars.
Act 4: Hey, I am just a jobless employee! What can I do?
One thing, of course it to go to a friendly country and look for a job there. The drawback is manifold though:
1. When you leave a state you automatically lower the wall of that state;
2. You can’t fight in a Resistance War like those which put Canada back on the map;
3. You might disrupt the labor market in the friendly country, driving the wages down;
4. You won’t be able to take part in the scheme described above, which is the way to inflict the maximum economic damage on the enemy while supplying eUSA with the much needed raw materials and Gold (all that profit extracted tax-free from the occupied territories will be used on weapons and wellness packs);
Therefore if you decide to emigrate, first see what the US government has to say about that. I know it’s a bit against the American culture to wait for directions from the government. But this is a game, not real life. It’s a game which needs teamwork in order to be won. The whole population needs to act in co-ordination and that’s what the government is for.
Act 5: I am still jobless, not enough American-owned companies are undermining the invader. What now?
The US government has approved your emigration application. But the job market in the friendly country isn’t looking too good due to the recent influx of refugees (better check the wages there before buying the plane ticket). And there aren’t enough American-owned companies involved in undermining the enemy economy. Is there anything else you can do?
Of course it is! Work the guerilla-way for an enemy-owned company. Here is how to do that:
1. Get your wellness below 50;
2. Take a Q1 ticket to an enemy territory. That would subtract another 2 wellness points. It is irrelevant to which territory you go, as long as it has a Q5 hospital there.
3. Find the highest paid job for your skill level in an enemy-owned company;
4. Work immediately after being hired. Since your wellness is below 50, your productivity will be abysmal. You will produce less than your wage, causing your enemy employer to lose money. This is why you should work immediately after being hired – as soon as your employer sees your wellness level and your citizenship you’ll be fired. Take his money before he throws you out
😉
5. Next day do the same to another enemy-owned company. Save your money;
6. While doing all the above make sure you keep your wellness slightly above 40. This way if you are required to take part in a Resistance War you would be able to fight once (being above 40), after which you heal in the Q5 hospital, get 90+ wellness points and inflict serious damage in the Resistance War.
7. Do not forget to train every day. Train before working, so you lose a wellness point before clocking-in thus increasing the loss for the enemy employers. Training daily augments your strength and ensures increased damage in battle.
We’ve managed to do well without owning any high raw materials region and so should you. Hit them hard where it hurts most: in their wallets. Then hit them harder with the Q5 weapons bought from THEIR money

And yet not many are afraid of the Romanians anymore. I wonder how effective it is, in real practice 😉
very nice article, good advice for sabotage.
Voted
eSA committed economic sabotage on eBrazil during its occupation. Seemed to work well.
Your Sharpened Tongue, my Back Door? Kinky.
It's definitely a good idea to buy RMs in other countries and donate them to your companies until we get our high-production regions back...well worth the price of a moving ticket. Voted!
Voted.
Nice dood!
dish doesn't want us to do it, so it is a good idea.
Oh, I would definately do this if Florida is conquered. Subscribed and voted- I will pull this out when I need it. 9.9/10!

Voted. Very educational
Hungarian minimum wage is $2 and their currency is about double of ours. The labor markets in those countries which have taken the US and Canada have been flooded with companies doing this so their wages are extremely high. Every PEACE member you employ at your companies is another PEACE member you're helping destroy America. Many companies are paying people more than the minimum wage, and the more tax revenue that generates the harder it will be to put us back together again.
GOOD IDEA MAYBE WE SHOULD GET SOME PEOPLE TO DO THIS.
Excellent advice, will execute this plan asap !
I have quite a few companies and some of them in indo/hungary/portugal...
Awesome thinking. Someone needs to start organizing non-military personnel.
Great article friend
one flaw: you can't move to contries at war with yours
Amazing!
@AI9124
True, but you can move to a neutral country first (like Singapore) then to the PEACE country. It just takes an extra ticket is all.
woot!
Incredible stratagem! I love that!

How US will defeat PEACE
@AI9124: oh but you can! it takes 2 plane tickets: one to South Africa/Peru/any other neutral country and the second to the enemy country
move to a neutral country first
Awesome Article. I am looking forward to 'smuggling' resources by creating a new company.
@Al9124, that would be why you buy TWO tickets. One to a neutral country, then into USA enemy territory.
And to Adam, I love this train of thought. I realize it's not your original posting, but regardless, truly beautiful. XD
nice
I started doing this the moment New Mexico fell under Indo control. If your company falls into enemy territory you can still employ your American employees as long as they're still in America and your company still has USD to pay them. You don't have to quit your job. You can export your labor. But it is nice to have the assurance that the product of your labor won't go to help the enemy.
I buy the Gifts my company produces in Indonesia with my org, and then gift them to Americans in my platoon or Australians who work for my other companies who need them. Only so many Gifts are sold on the Indonesian market to pay the Indonesian employees (who don't know their labor is going to help the enemy), and buy raw materials ( Diamonds are very cheap in Indonesia ). Keeping Americans on the payroll has been a large boon. Comparatively American wages at their best before this war got started are lower than Indo wages. So my two remaining American employees are getting paid a lot by today's standards while keeping my Indonesian costs low so that the company remains profitable thus allowing me to smuggle a higher percentage of my products back to Americans.
This looks like a good way to screw the pooch. I am in on this idea. I should email my employer and give him this idea. We could really screw them over. 😁
For America
I love this, I don't know if I am cool enough to do it yet being a mere level 11
Good article
BIG FLAW. Most people fire all American employees on sight or do not really have issues with finding labour.
But yeah screw over your enemy by lowering the defensive wall!!!
THATLL SHOW EM!!
Beautiful
So how do you transfer ownership to an Or?
You need to start organizing the post war resistance. I was apart of North Korea's resistance monement; but PEACE hacked our treasury, so it won't happen. Thats why america needs to start a resistance war in a border state first, then attack it with the army. we should all move to either Florida or NJ, which is close to happening...
The resistance will free non bordering conquered states.
Despairable methods!
Great article. Voted.
Awesome article.
ingenious
support
This needs to reach the lower level players like me. Not all would understand it, but they could certainly contribute to it.
Just one thing... the "enemy" companies could just post all job offers at minimum country wage and then weed out the "undesirables" while raising the wages for the rest.
Great article, simple, direct, good work.
No way. It doesn't have any sense. You make people keep wellness 40. One wrong step and they will die. Cause They won't be able to fight and to heal. So they will just die. SILLY ADVICE. It's a PEACE propoganda!
"one flaw: you can't move to contries at war with yours" lol, buy 2 tickets, it shouldn't be a problem for any organization who will actually move for the raw materials.
I'm already doing this.
Bravo...bravo!!!
Wonderful advise. Many thanks!
