Hell on Wheels (HoW) is a government funded program that supplies high strength citizens supplemental supplies based on what they would get from their Military Unit. It was established by
Jude Connors and 
Liquid HOMICIDE , for tanks to apply to and get the maximum potential from their fighting ability. Since this is a tank (heavy hitter/high strength) program most citizens will not qualify. For example, in most cases 1,000 strength for a citizen in a Military Unit or 1,100 strength for a citizen not in a Military Unit is the minimum amount of strength allowed to qualify for the program. However, in certain situations the requirements have been lowered to grant more citizens access as well as to generate more damage for the USA.
Once again, the qualifications are:
1,000 Strength and be a member of a Military Unit.
1,100 Strength for private non MU citizen
Be a USA citizen
And on certain occasions an Allied Citizen qualifies
You might ask why would the Department of Defense and the US Government do this, why would they give supplies to soldiers to fight. Well take a look at these numbers here. With the additional supplies provided from HoW,
Snowball the Dinosaur is able to do in 110 fights [Q1: 403700] (110 fights with Q1 weapons, location bonus, and MU bonus). BUT without the assistance from HoW Snowball the Dinosaur is only able to do influence in 65 fights [Q1: 198835] (65 fights with Q1 weapons and MU bonus). A difference 204,865 damage! Now when you think about the potential damage for the 169 USA citizens that have 1,000 strength the potential is impressive!
If you are interested in the program, send the current Secretary of Defense a private message his name is
8675309 , but I call him Tommy Tutones, you can also post questions in the comments and I will answer them the best I am able. To apply join #e-sim.usa and ask about it.

Mr Kittybottoms
Where does one who meets these requirements apply for HoW?
Shouts from SoDs/MU leaders/CP/DoD will go out when HoW opens, and just join IRC and look for the SoD

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.
