Central Mexico (Mexico attacking Brazil) – Mexico is making a serious attempt at rejoining the world map. With the support of Sigma (Mexico seems a likely candidate to join the new alliance if they win a region), Mexico is essentially locked in a dead heat with Brazil early in the battle. It is unclear why Brazil is fighting so hard to keep Central Mexico and several other worthless, resource-less regions, but they are involved too deeply to accept defeat as anything but a major blow. Putting Mexico back on the map, while having little effect on a macroeconomic level, will give the US a major ally in North America, which could be important in the future.
Manchuria (China attacking Russia) – This is the latest installment in a major war in northern Asia. China scored a huge win two days ago with a resistance war victory in Northwest China, a high oil region. Just a few hours ago, China took its second high-resource region by smashing little Taiwan for high iron Pengdu. This automatically turns China into a major economic power, and it is now a competitive rival to Russia and maybe even Indonesia. China has the benefit of being supported by not only part of TM, but Sigma too. Russia held onto Manchuria earlier today in one of the closest battles you will ever see (8-7 to Russia, 53%-47% in the final round), but China is pushing again, hoping to demoralize Russia and keep it on the defensive. If China can continue distracting Russia and invading its mainland (though it is unclear how far China is willing to push), it could be an opportunity for the Scandinavian countries to take back Oulu’s high diamonds for Finland, or an opportunity for America to take back the Pacific Coast and its high iron.
Vlaanderen (France attacking Belgium) – Things are heating up in a war that just began yesterday. Belgium’s declaration of war on France seems a little ill-advised, though it is early. France has Belgium surrounded on two sides after taking over some regions in the Netherlands, and is now on the attack in Belgium with an invasion of Vlaanderen, which the French are winning so far. It seems the goal of taking Vlaanderen is to have a shot at conquering Belgium’s only high-resource region, Antwerpen-Limburg and its high wood. France is seven times the size of Belgium and has a ton of powerful allies. This seems like a fantastic move for France, and it may not be longer before Belgium is reduced to a worthless inhabitant in central Europe.
Central Anatolia (Ukraine attacking Turkey) – Turkey may be one of the world’s largest nations, but you wouldn’t know it by the way it is siphoning off regions. Turkey has lost all of its regions in Israel, giving the Middle Eastern nation all its natural land back. Ukraine already has taken Turkey Black Sea Coast without any trouble, and is now going in for the kill: an attack on Turkey’s capital. Despite all of Turkey’s supposed allies, the Ukrainians are smacking the Turks silly. Turkey is already scrambling after losing its natural high oil region in Marmara to Greece, and now has only three nearly-worthless regions left. It’s hard to believe a nation of this size could soon be off the map; but with Israel attacking from the south, Ukraine from the north, and Greece from the west, it’s not unfeasible at this point.
Today’s Featured Nation: Brazil
Brazil is currently under attack by Mexicans wanting to return to the map. Mexico is supported by the US and others, mainly because the Brazilians have been unfair in holding on to all of Mexico’s natural regions, even the worthless ones. The ongoing battle in Central Mexico is a dead heat right now, so it is unclear if the Mexicans’ efforts will put them on the map and leave Australia as the only country without a region.
The only region that Brazil should be worrying about, however, is the Yucatan Peninsula. This is Brazil’s crown jewel of its Mexico invasion: gaining high diamonds along with its natural high iron region on the South American mainland. While it is possible that Mexico could try to directly attack the Yucatan from neighboring Central Mexico (should the Mexicans win the battle, of course), Brazil has sufficiently stacked the Yucatan with defense systems to prevent an invasion. Also, Brazil has many more strong allies on its side than Mexico does, and it is giving them a slight lead over Mexico in the current battle so far. Brazil’s main Latin American claim seems to be safe, and there is no chance tiny Argentina, Colombia, or Peru will make a move on Brazil’s natural regions in the near future. With two high resource regions, Brazil produces far more than one might expect from its average-sized population. Brazil’s economy is above-average, and certainly one of the strongest in the Americas.
My NAF Presidential Endorsement
There isn’t much of a race going on for the party leader position in the New America First party. However, there’s one person that deserves it more than just about anyone: current party leader
Feefaroni . Feefaroni has worked hard over the past month to make the NAF a leader in United States media and politics, and it is no wonder that her efforts – and the efforts of many others in the party – have helped make the NAF more than twice as large as any other US party. Please vote for Feefaroni today to ensure another month of progress, for the good of the party and the good of the nation.

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.
