This is a new series dedicated during the presidential election times when multiple strong citizens are running for president of the United States. Today, I am interviewing
Sermokala , who is a promising candidate for becoming the president of the United States.
Hello,
Sermokala , I am going to ask you a few questions regarding your candidacy for president of the United States, is that okay?
Yes, that is.
1) Alright, first off, what will you do regarding our foreign affairs, are you leaning toward joining ALPHA, TM, or creating our own alliance?
Short answer, no. I'm still leaning toward staying neutral. Throwing our dice in with one of the alliances means that our diplomacy is locked in for a while.
2) Next, what is your opinion on Russia still renting our regions even though the rent is surely not larger than what we could be making if we had those regions?
The renting of our regions is tied to our NAP with them, the only way that they're going to ever give them up is either if we take it by force by joining TM or getting them back as a deal to join ALPHA. As much as I want them back, it won't be easy either way. The amount that we'll have to pay for their defensive structures will blow any benifit to our economy for months and months.
3) Which way will you lean? Negotiating a deal with them or taking it by force?
I think that the only way that we're realisticaly going to get it back is by force. That's a path that once we start on we're going to have to walk for a long, long time. Russia won't give us the same deal in 2 months if the war goes badly and we get wiped off the map again.
4) Steering away from Russia, who would you consider our top allies to be?
Sweden and the UK, with France coming after them. In an odd sense I would say the Russians currently as an honorable mention. The new MPPs with Brazil, Italy and Argentina are still too new to place them in a ranking I believe, and Spain we've yet to have a significant military involvement with, although that may change soon.
5) What will be your main goal in your term that you might serve in the upcoming month?
Portugal, easilly. They've made clear threats on CeC and our allies, Spain and the UK.
6) Are you happy with the current state of the economy?
No, and I believe ever being happy with the state of an economy is a bad sign. Too many citizens are being caught in the gap inbetween improfitable Q1 companies and lacking the paitience of getting the capital for a higher Q company to make a profit.
7) What do you think about your current competition, are they going to pose a challenge to you?
As of right now my competition is Azk and myself I believe. And maybe FR. I respect Azk a lot from my time in the ambassador corps. I know him well and he'll be a serious challenge in the debate tomorrow.
8) Are you excited for the debate?
Very, I do hope that it will be the defining moment of the campaign.
9) What do you believe is your biggest strength?
Faith in myself, but not in the sense of any religious meaning but a belief thats stronger then any doubt, I don't need to know completly that things will turn out well in the end, but I have faith that I can make things work and I will never stop until they do, Its given me great rewards in my life and I value it greatly.
10) What do you believe is your biggest weakness?
I never know when to give up. I'll find myself hitting my head against the wall on something until I've got nothing left in the tank, I need people I can trust to tell me when its time to move on.
11) Cake or pie?
Pie.
Thank you for answering these questions in this interview, I wish you the best of luck in the election!
Thank you, it was a great interview.
As always,

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.
