Not As Big As We Seem
•
by Lowell Kennedy
Much has been made of the stabilization of the eAmerican economy. Indeed, the economy seems to heading in the right direction. eAmerican companies are providing goods from gifts to guns to eAmericans more now than ever. However, there are causes for concern.
Primarily, the economy is driven by a rather small group of companies. After some research, the number is surprisingly small and we are not as big as we seem. There are 1247 companies listed under economy summary of the eUSA. However, just 1020 are highlighted as possible results with only 94 companies showing up under Top Company sales for the eUSA. Not to be confusing (or perhaps to be) a total of 165 companies are listed under Create a Company for the eUSA and 139 companies represent the eUSA under Top Country Number of Companies. Finally, only 85 (non-dissolved) eAmerican companies have significant enough gold sales to register within all domains largest companies listings for the eUSA. No matter the math, 85 is signficantly smaller number of eAmerican companies playing an important role in the eUSA economy than one would expect with all the different numbers available for citizens to view.
Despite knowing this small number, there probably should not be a rush to found new eAmerican companies. The risk of creating wage wars can undermine the progress of the eUSA economy has had.
Secondly, the eUSA faces a -155.29 Gold trade deficit. eAmerican companies do not export at the same rate at which other nations import. The eUSA lacks trade partners that it can sell its goods without significant taxes. Additionally there is generally a dearth of export licences among eAmerican companies.
To conclude, going forward these are issues that will need to be recognized and probably need to be addressed for the betterment of the eAmerican economy. Additional research could also be beneficial for the eUSA.

What would be your suggestion in terms of taxes in light of all this?
I agree we need to export more.
There are definitely more qualified economists on here that maybe can answer.
From my point of view, the eUSA is definitely still protectionist and probably will remain so. Whether it should be depends are your view on whether we still need to guard our home market. We may still need to in order to upgrade some companies to higher levels. Yet I would advocate trade agreements of very low rates with some countries like South Africa that allow for exports for us and expedited recovery if we can sell a bargain rates there. It would be an incremental step.
True but isnt the real problem the lack of US sales among American citizens? With most American citizens buying out of the US, whast the point.
Subscribed. Your articles are well thought out and display a refreshingly firm grasp on the conventions of the English language.
My recommendation: don\'t trust random stats on eRep. They too often include unexpected and are falsified in so many ways. You\'ll have to take time to figure out which of them make any sense. (This is an issue for the devs to handle, not us.)
Let\'s assume we *do* have 85 Companies, though. 1600 Employees are scattered among them, allowing 19 Employees per Company. This is, in my opinion, quite an ideal position for the economy. Productivity remains decent, and competition is held at a fair level.
One thing about trade, too. I just exported a Q4 Hospital for around 110 GOLD, but eRep only counted 20 of that because of the way the deal went.
