Welcome
Recently i started playing virtonomics and enjoying it immensly!
So i have a few suggestions to make the game broader, and more enjoyable as there will be new oppurtunities.
Stocks (not socks ha), banks, corporation abilitys, long term contracts.
Say +1 if you would like to be added on the supporters list below, so that we enforce the managers of this game to improve it!
_____________________________________________________________
Corporations!
Lets face it, corporations are teams which have very litle abilities. This is not the same as in real life.
They should have the ability to, that if they work together that their profits become exponantially.
First we need a ranking system.
1.Leader
2.Vice leader
3.Member
Now there roles.
*Decision maker
*Stock analyzer
*Production manager
*Retail Manager
*Campaign manager (politics)
So, a ranking would be something like Member *Production manager. Or Leader * Decision maker.
When a corporation starts, the leader will be giving *Decision maker, as this person will always have the last decision on big decisions within the corporation.
A player with * production manager has the ability to gain a bonus (just for himself), such as +1 production.
The corporations can only use every role once in the company. Because there cant be 2 managers of production.
Corporations Fund
As the corporation will have more abilities, it will need funds. These funds should not be funded only by the leader but rather by every person in the corporation.
The leader can set a minimum deposit per turn, so that every person will add to the treasury every turn.
These funds can then be used to buy stocks, which in return can give dividends and or influence.
Also villas, barns and macroeconomics these funds can be used for.
Also, the corporation can buy more corporation space for new members.
* we should not forget, that corporations who do not treat other corporations, companys and or countrys in a positive way, will recieve a negative influence bonus.
This can be anything, please give suggestions.

Banks
By creating a stock market, increasing corporations abilitys and changing how bonds are used.
Then banks can play a nice role in virtonomics.
A bank can create a service platform for the following types of bussines activities.
Possibly owned by corporations, and players.
Bonds
These have to be changed, as they are not being used in the proper way.
The way should be as following:
Bonds can be issued by the company, these are loans and intrest must be paid everyday . The company decides the amount of price, the duration of the bond and the % of intrest.
If we do that we can now make a bond market better then the current.
Buyers of bond recieve intrest and thats how the value of bonds increase, buyers can sell bonds at any time to another player or bank.(transfering one bond to another player doesnt affect bond issued player)
Back to banks, will be updated shortly
Company who sold bonds, will be able to settle (repay) the debt anytime. This the company would do to reduce intrest payment. So a company is encouraged to get the money back. Also since their bond can be designd for their needs, there will be less troubles.
Stock Markets
So far we can sell bonds, but our company's have no shares. Would it not be amazing to implement such a new infrastructure such as stocks? This will also enable us to merge or takeover other companies in full.
In order to make the stock market succesfull, there should be laws & a standard quo growth path (not to be followed at all times)
A company will be starting out as a soultrader and eventualy becomes Public unlimited.
Also company's can be given a credit ranking , determening the companys value, from DDD to AAA*.
[ A company must keep 51% shares]
Soultrader -> DDD credit rating (under 50M) [Can not issue stocks or bonds]
Private company ->CCC credit rating (under 250M) [Can not issue stocks][Payment must be made of 5M to change state of the company]
P.Limited company -> CCC* credit rating (under 500M) [Able to issue shares to the COUNTRY only and company's established in the country(owner keeps 51%of shares) ]
Public company -> BBB credit rating (500M+) [Able to issue stocks worldwide, to become a BBB credit company the business have to pay a 50M one time fee.]
Global company -> AAA credit rating (1B+) [Has all ability's as above + influence on countrys limited to 1 per company, example: "Global company recieves +1 production in (select country)"]

Long term contracts
Everytime you place an order it says you are making a contract, but is it really a contract if both sides can cancle at anytime?
So i have thought of an additional contract type.
Long term contracts, these are contracts which last longer than just one turn.
One can arrange a contract with a producer for 6-12-24-52 Virto weeks. According to this contract, the supplier must deliver a certain quantity of goods every turn OR deliver a total amount of quantity of goods before the end of the contract (at end of 6-52 weeks).
If either Supplier or purchaser are unable to continu a contract, then a fee must be paid by the one stopping the contracts. *unless both cancle contract at same update.
Pro's - Wholesalers have a more stable income and suppliers aswell. Market prices wil stay more stable. And people who did arrange a contract have more profit ability.
Cons- A supplier must keep producing the product even if market price's rise.

Logistics
Right now, when you order from one country, no matter where the products have to be deliverd to it will take 1 week.
This is a little bit unreal. Lets face it, it takes far less time to transport products within a country then that it is purchasing from the other half of the world.
So the time should be balanced, so that people will not only produce in low custom duty countries. But rather look at the location aswell as all the other factors surrounding the ability of making a profitable bussiness. Lets not forget, this is a simulator and should be simulated according to life.
We can even bring it a step further by saying, include new types of logistics (sea, air, road) which a company can choose between.
These logistics wil have a difference in , the time it takes for the products to travel, the price it cost for the products to travel.
