Now though this can be considered a great triumph on our part, it also plunges us into the crosshairs of many other militarily minded nations. America is strong as a people, but should not underestimate the power of unity and increased fire power. You see, even though Russia was “licked good” (that’s a southern term
), they still produced nearly 20mil more damage than the USA the other day. We have to increase military production… We as a Nation should strive to obtain the capability to provide every citizen with powerful weapons as well as good food. Because of our victories we can expect a war of interest to evolve between us and other strong nations.
I would not be surprised if we are plunged into a full scale war against invaders by the end of the week. We must prepare for this inevitable threat… We must elect those to office that will see to it that this nation is able to stand strong when the winds of evil blow against it. We need a player of experience and integrity!
That is why I wish to make my official statement of my intent to run for Congress of these United States.
Now I do have RL experience in both business and politics but it is pointless to go telling you about it because there are few parallels between game life and RL. So let me tell you about some of my plans in game…
We must increase the American spending power.
We currently have a 10% income tax rate, now if we could lower the income tax rate by a couple of points we could increase the American worker’s ability to stockpile weapons to fend off the inevitable attacks to come. We could make up for this lack of tax dollars by increasing import taxes on products that are already produced in the USA.
We must increase gold in the US treasury.
Now few will argue against the fact that Gold is the most valuable commodity in all of e-sim. One USD is equal to only 0.02 Gold… In other words, you have to have $50 to make 1g! Now to start or upgrade a business you need gold, to start a paper you need gold, to start/expand a MU you still need gold! But how can the US Government increase gold income? Well I have a plan that would involve us creating an agency that simply trades foreign currencies for gold. How this would work is that we find economically minded players that will be able to find deals on foreign currencies and resell them for a greater profit. We would then pay those players 10% commission on profits to encourage them to trade wisely.
Another option is the founding of an international bank that will then obtain its profits through interest payments.
We must increase military infrastructure.
Through the new Gold market the US government would be able to provide grants to upgrade/start companies that will help us grow our military into the mightiest on earth.
We must develop more friendships.
As an Ambassador there are few things that scare me more than the thought of us passing up on valuable friendships. As I said before, America will have to fight more now than ever before. It is most essential that we develop close friendships that will help see us and our new alliance through the storms ahead.
Now finally… We need players that you can trust in Congress.
With long term Congressman and American hero Leroy Combs banned (I have no opinion as to if he was guilty or not) and then Stormin going inactive we have been left with a very unreliable congress that needs to be fixed. We need active congressmen that will work for the good of the Nation. I have been playing e-sim for over 90 days and have yet to miss a single day at work! I will be there for you! It is time for Integrity in Congress!
Now I know that this has been a long article, so let me close in saying that I would be honored if you would VOTE met3 for Congress!

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.
