First, I really appreciate author trying to understand economy better in this way, even though this simulation is quite naive. I think everybody should do that.
But as others have noted, it has no concept of capital, private property, and labor market. Therefore, it's not capitalism. It's not anarchism or communism either - it lacks flexibility of workers to do something else, or state planning telling workers to do something else. At best, it could be a model of a feudal society (where the "state servants" are the landed nobility).
Furthermore, it has no concept of natural resources, energy, labor and goods. That has to be there before we even get to things like money.
Also, the money definition is problematic. Money is essentially a contract, and can be created even between three private parties as resoldable bonds. This isn't there.
I would also suggest, if the author (or anybody else) is interested, look at Steve Keen's work in economic simulation and his Minsky program. This guy is far ahead of everybody else in actually trying to understand how real economies work.
To people who wonder why don't we have good economy simulators that would reflect a real world. Well, I think the answer is pretty simple - rich people don't want that. They don't want plebes to understand what it means to be rich, most rich people know they wealth is undeserved, and don't want other people to see it flaunted openly. So they prefer hegemony (in Gramsci terms) of neoliberal economics, which is misleading about what is happening in reality.
