Being inspired by the similar topic on the russian forum I'd like to ask Mary community:
 
"Are you ready to chip in on a new country?"
 
As for me the introduction of a new country is associated with a new challenge and rising interest to the game. The introduction of Norway was the reason of my comeback.
 
As Diska said administration is ready to discuss this question with players.
 
What would you say on this issue? Please express your opinion.    
 
P.S. As for me I'm ready to donate over 100 billions.
 
P.P.S. Possible first-rate supporters will be awarded with bonuses to qualifications.

Hi,
 
there's only about 110 companies with total worth over 100 billion on Mary,
and (I'm guessing now) only about 50 companies with over 100 billion in cash.
 
Here you are ignoring us, smaller players, whose whole companies have weight less than 100 billion and haven't yet run out of cities where to sell growing reserves of produced goods - we may not be thrilled watching how 25-or-so richest ones are getting more toys and even more powers added to the overwhelming ones they already possess...
 
P.S.
I'm just whining because I have no spare billions of money to throw and there's no such option in the voting :-)

Giekas, and why don't you enter Norwegian retail market? Royal Club is just a little bit bigger than you, however he is making over 17 billions turnover in Norway.

Thanks for mentioning me, VLLord.Well
If Diska really means it, this will of course draw in many of those inactive players and the game will be more "fun" for every player. I feel administration created Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Lithuania for EVERY new comers to enjoy - the market development index for most retail markets in these countries(every commodity) is E or D. Most of big players do not prefer small size stores as we need to sell as much as we produce to keep up the cost of production so we choose other countries with high volume instead - it has been said that big players dominate entire retail world and I would say, we have to dominate big markets to keep the company run or we die by our own huge cost of production, raw materials, tax, etc.
 
To administration of Virtonomics, the benefits you will get, as I can think of off hand:
1. The current players(small or big) see more opportunities, their goals or dreams will come true in a more "approachable ways". They will be likely to spend some of real money to reach their business goals.
 
2. Most companies turnover will become profitable due to the low competition so they live in Virtonomics way longer and even as long as they see their companies grow bigger every turn - this reduces the chance players turn inactive after some time.
 
3. After my CP, nothing really drove me in unless tender with Virt. I would encourage that after the world is bigger we expect to see more tenders of any kinds with the prize in Virt - range from 1 to 5 Virts.  Frankly speaking if you really noticed it, I see MANY tenders with the prize of +10,+30 qualification grow but rarely or no one joins. This means most players see this kind of prize is not worth the tender investment. Different story with those tender that pays Virt.  Yes, there is really no point to pay for game points in order to win no Virts.  More competition would draw more spending of those who really need to win.
 
And there are lots of other reasons that encourage you guys to create new markets. Might see from other players.
 
Bottom line, I am ready to pay real money. Voted. YesHeartGift
 
Thank you.

I agree with Ksar.
 
I was quite inactive for almost a year and my last forum post created a year ago is still on 2nd page lol .... we should find the ways to drive in more new players. Expose ourselves more.  
Yeah I once promoted Vir in Google Adwords for almost a month but the result was not quite positive. So please try different methods.

I'd partially agree with you. Just let's compare market development indexes for Norway and Germany:
 
Electronics: Norway = D..AAA, Germany = E..A
Autos: Norway = D..AAA, Germany = E..A
Grocery: Norway = E..AAA, Germany= E..A
 
Oslo and Berlin TV retail markets


 
Analizing these two markets I drove to the conclusion that exactly the Norwegian market looks more competetive.

What else can you expect - Norwegian market is a new toy (everyone who's bored wants to have a go), with several times higher retail prices and almost ten times smaller market volume than Germany.
 
Would the same happen if new country were, let's say, Ukraine - I mean, enormous market volume but probably not so attractive prices as in Norway.

You're absolutely right, Norwegian retails markets is a new toy, as well as Baltic contest was a new toy several months ago. It's quite borring to play without new toys, that's why I'm ready to pay to get them.
