Company

A company is the most important unit of organization for the shilling economy. They work as they do in real life - they provide services in exchange for money. Most companies are registered under the Shilling Stock Market.

Creating A Company
Companies are free to create, but you need a tangible product or service in order for it to be created. Upon creation, a company is put on the stock market, and is given a choice to be part of the Sejm Shareholding System. The usual starting share price is $5; sometimes it is made higher, but this is rare. For example, Double U Incorporated started with a stock price of $9, so that the Shilling Average would remain at $9. Before 6 March 2020, the starting share price was $3, but it was changed with the demonetization of the $1 coin.

You need to have significant revenue per day to maintain or grow your share price, otherwise it will decline on its own. Sometimes, a financial crash can make your share price drop by itself, but high enough revenue can negate it.

Since 22 February 2020, you have a choice of naming your company either a corporation or incorporated. They are functionally the same; it is merely personal preference for which one you take.

Taxes
While again there is no upfront cost to making a company, every day you will need to pay $5 per company as a tax to the Florin Council. This amount still applies to companies that you have bought or those you have merged with. This was announced on 17 February 2020 and implemented the next day as pressure for JP to sell TedZ Incorporated to the Florin Council, but also as an additional antitrust measure.

Specializations
Your product can offer any product or service you want, as long as it is tangible, and it is not obscene or harmful. These are the most common services offered.
 * Legal services: Lawyers and legal advice during court cases. Offered by Dacs Incorporated.
 * Security: This refers to bodyguards and watchers. Mainly offered by Salvaguardia Incorporated.
 * Snacks: Offered by Life's Bad Corporation.
 * Stickers: The most famous product, offered by Jones Incorporated.
 * Stationery: Referring to school supplies, art materials, etc. Double U Incorporated and Favor Incorporated offered second-hand stationery when they were active.

Mergers and Acquisitions
You can acquire other companies, even if you yourself don't have a company, by simply paying the owner of the company you wish to buy. You will have to decide the amount of your offer yourself; the Florin Council will not intervene unless to record the transaction. Unless you completely destroy the company you have acquired, you will need to pay taxes for that company as well as other companies you own.

You can also merge with other companies. Again, this is an agreement between you and the other company, so the details of the new Board of Directors (if there is any) is up to you to decide. The tax rule still applies to this too.
