It's a hard knock life..

Why is it a picture of a big breasted women here?

You will need it for comfort. This the only cheerful thing in this article.

Companies have been created today, tons of them.
But you will not work there since you will demand a salary. Company owners can from now on - or at least for the moment until Admin changes it - work in their own companies, all of them and only lose 5 health per company.

What does this mean in theory?
If I would focus on Iron producing and buy 60 Q1 Iron companies, that's a lot of gold for buying companies. But let's continue.
If I worked at every company with 95 respectively 100 wellness it would only cost me 300 wellness of food. With full booster I produce 27 Q5 Food / day, I could produce that in a friends company at the cost of .99 gold and some awful cheap grain.
Let's say it would cost 2 golds to produce, that will be way to much but just to have something to calculate with and a safe marginal.

So how much Iron would I produce daily then?

Are you ready?



The answer - at my current skill level is 21 360 units.
Thats 0.00009 gold / iron produced or about 0.006 SEK / iron. Yesterday the market price was about 23 times as high.
The same would apply if I produced grain in a country with a grain region.

These are the theoretical costs, but there will always be those who goes for the extremes and create 20, 30 or even 60 companies. Working at more than 60 companies would force them to buy wellness with gold and it would cost to much. With a house you could stretch the amount of companies a little bit further.

A historic reflection
I remember when raw materials where introduced in the first place in eRepublik, it had an huge impact and eSwedens and perhaps the worlds biggest capitalist at the time Ziggyzag gave up both his career as capitalist - he fired 230 workers just in one company and lost his willpower to continue playing the game and leading eSweden as President.

I wrote this in a comment to his article back in 2008:

"Ziggyzag is the land fader of eSweden.

These companies are institutions, I do sure hope someone can take over this heritage and fill those shoes. DRK Group is also struggling but with good hopes for the future.

With Ziggyzag still in the Swedish politics Sweden will always be strong. The shaky transformation from Beta to V1 has for sure shaken Sweden but not nearly as much as most other countries. I say for sure that www.erepublik.se and our strong friendship and sometimes black humour is to thank for that.

So we have been through troubled times before and we will come out on top again. We need to pay special attention to the new citizens, the new players with low rank and low skill. We must provide them with work, with salaries and make them grow strong.

But equally important, we must survive ourselves through this fimbul winter. I predict that few beta giants will have the energy to create dozens of companies and they might feel that they will fall behind.

My advice can only be: when in eRepublik despair, click twice, there is always a new exiting accident around the corner and deep inside you are too curious to miss it.
