Music for my American soldiers!
Greetings, America. I bet you're wondering what antics I have in store for you today, after scribing a rather provocative April Fools article inspired by an idea from
American_insurgent . Well, I don't. This article will be a straightforward and serious chat about our real intentions here and what I have in store over the coming month.
That's right, this is a formal announcement for my candidature for President of these United States of America. Win or lose, this will be the last time I run, so I hope that any other candidates will continue the great work we in the executive and congressional branches have begun and built.
It's my hope, that by now, the American people understand their situation, and to this end, I've proposed a referendum, detailing exactly what our agreement with Russia entails. It's also my hope that this information will allow our citizens to make their own educated decisions in regards to the nation's survival as a whole.
It's very important to note that the agreement has been in place for the duration of my term this month and Russia has never pushed us on alliance affiliation. We've respected our end of the NAP and they've respected our relationships with old allies. This does NOT mean we're becoming pro-ALPHA, simply that the offer was on the table. It's our hope to continue to open relations with ALL countries, no matter what their alliance affiliation is.
What I do hope is that people don't take this information the wrong way, as in my opinion, the conflicts of the bigger alliances have nothing to do with the American agenda at this time. Poland-Russia-Lithuania is not our war. China-Russia is not our war. Does that mean we're hostile to all sides? No. That means that we understand our place in this world as a young country and have chosen not to take a side in these conflicts.
First off, I'd like to kick start our Hell on Wheels program with a mass messaging campaign to our strongest citizens, asking them to join an MU, get more active and join our IRC and forums. I think this will be imperative to our future growth, in order to better coordinate and direct our damage and timing. Our MUs have done a terrific job of late, and the more bodies we have, the better we are.
Furthermore, Army MU now has a budget, and will continue expanding. Interested citizens should PM
Snowball the Dinosaur to apply and for more information. I think getting a stable budget to our official MUs will allow further growth, but at the same time, I don't wish to alienate our more independent MUs either. To this end, Hell on Wheels will be open during major battles for ALL American MU members that meet certain strength requirements, and even non-MU members can participate.
Band of Brothers is also continuing to expand, and under my administration, we'd continue to encourage more people to join them. An Elite MU is important, do the damage bonuses and daily supply. These guys routinely do more daily damage than many other MUs as well.
If you prefer a little less structure in your MU and value your freedom, Phoenix MU is also recruiting more members. They're a self reliant MU, meaning you'll need to supply yourself, but the bonus damage is important for people who prefer a more independent MU.
This program has proven to hold an extremely important role in how the government supports new players and gives out information to our newfriends. Operation Cornucopia has been extremely successful and in my opinion, it will continue to be, especially under my administration. This program holds an invaluable position in any future plans we make, as it encourages more of our citizens to get involved, grow, and continue to play. I think in conjunction with the Department of Education, both entities need continued support, regardless of who future presidents are.
My opinion on our foreign affairs remains the same. We will continue to make friendly overtures in return to countries that are friendly with us. It's my hope that our policies will continue to expand, in order to open new relationships and gain new allies that we may have overlooked in the past. I encourage all ambassadors to come visit us in #e-sim.usa and say hello. We're actually pretty friendly people.
I will be doing an executive review in the next day or so, and making changes and tweaks in our lineup, based on performance and activity. What this means to you guys, is that there will be more positions available to new and interested parties. I encourage everyone to contact me or
Lord of the Blings , who will be operating as my Chief of Staff, should I win a second term. ALL applications will be reviewed and considered, so don't hesitate to put your name out there, as there will be plenty of opportunities for new players to become deputies and start learning the executive ropes and making new friends and contacts.
Get your names out there, guys! The more people we have actively contributing, the more people we have active for other projects!
Thank you for your time and patience.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
