The eIndian Economy

The census of eIndia 10 days ago:
* 240 official citizens
* 108 active citizens
* 56 citizens of voting age
Orissa is now home for:
* 253 official citizens
* 122 active citizens
* 50 citizens of voting age (based on today's elections)
This decline in voting citizens is slightly worrying. As people get more experienced, are they tempted to move overseas to pursue other objectives?
It is difficult to maintain user interest with a single region in the republik. Opportunities to participate directly in the political process are limited and saving up to get the money to start a company can take a long time.
There may be a need to engage citizens in the community. Everybody has a role to play here, but perhaps it is our elected representatives who need to make more of an effort to help maintain user interest in the region.
Industry
Investment in eIndia continues to boom. Orissa is now the base for 17 active companies.
6 x Food (including a Q3 and a Q2)
4 x Moving Ticket
2 x Weapon (including a Q5)
2 x Gift
1 x House
1 x Iron
1 x Wood
Investment opportunities still exist for High-Quality food, Low-cost housing and possibly Mid-Quality weapons.
The Low-Quality Food and Moving Ticket industries are starting to become very crowded markets, and it will be interesting to see how the increased competition influences each industry.
Tax Revenue
Over the past 5 days, eIndia's treasury has grown by 1187.07 INR
Tax revenue is starting to grow rapidly with so many companies starting up in Orissa. This publication would like to see Minister's identify how this money will be spent, and if it does not get spent, would like to see taxes reduced accordingly.
Congress Elections
With congress candidate nominations opening today, now is the time when citizens will have an opportunity to demand more from their elected representatives. Or propose an alternative path for eIndians to tread.
What do congress plan for the future of eIndia?
When will we see a Hospital? How will it be paid for?
How do candidates aim to continue building a close-knit community?
How are negotiations going with Iran/Indonesia/Romania?
All these questions will form the basis of congress candidate platforms.
Make your voice heard in-game and on the forums.
Comments
Interesting Indeed. A low cost housing company would be great for Workers prosperity, though so would high quality food.
Hopfully Congress will not let us down.
Very good and concise article, voted and subscribed.
"Everybody has a role to play here, but perhaps it is our elected representatives who need to make more of an effort to help maintain user interest in the region."
I agree, there might be a lot more to this than meets the eye
Voted, here are my views:
Many experienced indians move abroad to gain fighting exp and wealth, I certainly have done that and this will only benefit india in the long run by producing a better army.
I also think an education program needs implementing for new citizens and if I get chance I will try and make this happen but I am so busy on other isses that it is hard to do so.
I would like to see new Government funded companys set up expecially in the housing department so that we can train citizens in Construction.
As for foreign affairs then that can not be posted on here IMO although visitors to our forums can view more details:

Overall I think the picture is becoming alot brighter and I expect alot to happen over the coming days/weeks.
Voted, nice article ambrose. I believe that a fair proportion of active indians are in the indian dream party though
Voted!
*The India World Corporation comments should have been posted under my account sorry. 🙁
"This decline in voting citizens is slightly worrying. As people get more experienced, are they tempted to move overseas to pursue other objectives?"
You base this opinion on the elections results? So I suppose you take the amount of votes casted. Then I don't think it's what your saying, it's the fact that more people vote at the national elections than other elections. Let's compare it with my RL, in Holland, at the national elections about 70/80% (don't know the exact amounts) of the population votes. With the elections to choose the parliament of the provinces it's only 50% etc etc.
They're just a little less important to a lot of people so not everyone votes them 😉
Nice article btw!
Voted
good article. how did you find out how many people are active?
And as many of you now know, i am forsaking my hopital idea, and it was srachit who, on my article, suggested that i make a housing one instead. this should be set up within a few weeks. it will be q1 or 2, but probably q1. Watch this space for more news!
@David -
"I would like to see new Government funded companys set up expecially in the housing department so that we can train citizens in Construction."
I think it is well understood that I am opposed to government funded companies. As such, I have created my own housing company to fill this need. Putting my money where my mouth is so-to-speak
@Brood - Yes, I use the latest voting numbers for that stat. You may be right. I still think it is a useful stat to keep track of though.
@Kanda - Citizens must be employed and have worked in the past 3 days to be considered active.
