u sure u looking at eSouth Africa right?
"falling rand"
The rand isn't falling, it's stabilising; the Reserve Bank of eSouth Africa has chosen to float the ZAR as opposed to fix it.
"no one interested in working"
We have a labour shortage, predominantly in the manufacturing sector due to the majority of employees wanting to work in land (high productivity region therefore greater supply, hence higher wages).
"no wars"
War games are started every eRepublik day at 10:30 and last for 24 hours, allowing citizens to fight over 2 logins per war game. (6 times a week).
With regards to the weapon price having come down, this is a natural movement due to competition. At first, there were only 3 companies in eSA and they were charing R12.50+- p/Q1 weapon. When I purchased a import license and published an article exposing the profits, 5 - 7 new companies entered the market causing the price to drop to around R7 - R8 - a perfect example of competition at work.
If you follow the Ministry of Information & Reserve Bank of South Africa newspapers, you'll see that we're experiencing a rather large influx of investment in the country, greater competition in the markets & a upward movement in the ZAR - things are looking great.
