Ambitious Suggestion

First, a minor suggestion. Recommend in a new citizen message that workers NOT get a job in land. It really is bad for our country to have new ciitzens working in land when there is so little demand for it. Companies that offer low-skill land jobs are both unprofitable and baby killers.
Okay, eSingapore needs more people. Getting a baby boom would be hard, since the eSingapore population is mostly NOT from eSingapore, so there's no real base to draw from. The best way to grow would be to attract people from other countries to immigrate to eSingapore.
Now, we do have some big advantages:
Cheap products, due to good company managers
Very few worker-wasting land companies compared to other countries with no high regions.
Good supply of raw materials available for import
But also some drawbacks:
Wages are dirt cheap (this does attract companies, though)
No war games!!!
Not much demand for products
We have a very hard time recruiting with a small population
So, how to fix this:
1. Subsidize companies to offer very high-paying jobs for 7+ skill workers!!!
2. Get some war games!!!
3. Give loans for export licenses (congress is already planning on trying this, I believe)
4. Advertise all over the eWorld!!! A new branch of the ministry of immigration!
Any thoughts?

Adversing would not be a part of the immigration but the information. 😛
"Wages are dirt cheap (this does attract companies, though)"
so is food. we only rely on food, we don't use weapons or moving tickets that much.
who will buy the amount of 7+ worker skill produced products?
Maybe those other 7+ workers.
Can you attract new players by refunding the airplane ticket? Not sure if that would be helpful to get some fresh blood in our country 🙂

1. Subsidies are BAD. If the population does not improve, you have created companies that then require government funds to keep running or close shop. This causes a lot of Ill Will when those who had jobs suddenly find themselves unemployed and have only the government to blame for their lost jobs.
2. Wargames? Who do you propose we talk to about these? The eUSA basically shafted us when they took our 200 gold and then stopped the wargames after basically a week and didnt give refunds. We have no redress as no one is able to find a contract between then president Erius and the eUSA. We cant join the Sol games, Indo would get a FREE war with us. The eUS Games are on hold indefinitely, PEACE GC's demise killed their games (So did their greed), Phoneix has no need for games due to their constant war status and exploiting.
3. Yes there is something in the works, However its not going to happen over night. Its been a long time Idea of Kryteshyfts and he's the one whos going to have the most input for it.
4. Advertising all over the world has a few drawbacks. Your asking people to come to this country with out knowing who's coming. This can mean that we approve PTO people with out even really looking at them simply to fill a population quota. What would help is a baby boom in the form of RL Singaporeans or even people from other countries who dont mind a challenge. Some of us have tried to get them started but it takes a LOT of effort to get real life media to pay attention.
1. These subsidies should be to companies that can prove that they can profit on their own, and they should basically be used as a tool to increase wages. Higher wages===better for immigrants.
2. You definitely are right, but I know that many people don't want to move to eSingapore because there's no wars to fight in here. (I don't know a solution here, but this definitely is a problem)
3. Good! 🙂
4. The problem is, people from other countries like to join their home ecountries, which means that eSingapore has a problem with new immigrants if we don't get RL Singaporeans. I trust you on all of the effort stuff. However, I do have some ideas on how to regulate immigration better to prevent PTOs.
Please elaborate on those ideas... I think our best bet at a Population Boom would be to recruit more real life Singaporean citizens... They would have a lot of pride in this country.
