话说天下大势，分久必合，合久必分！此言虽出自古书三国，吾以为对当今之事亦有裨益。
今，天下遭遇百年经济危机，试看全球经济形势，可谓哀鸿遍野，民不聊生，众厂商、工人、民工皆叫苦连天，司某人有感于此，不禁联想自身处境，不胜伤悲，呜呼哀哉！
司本布衣，自幼出身贫寒，躬耕于冀南邢州大地，苟全性命于当世，不求闻达于富贵，但求温饱以残喘。然现实残酷之至，司自去岁四月上旬至本社工作至今，已一载有余，度春秋冬夏，时光流逝过三百余个日日夜夜。想当初，余本一意气少年，年少轻狂，梦想飞扬，欲于本社大展抱负，一则为集团增光添彩，二则为己身加衣增食，两全其美之策，岂不爽哉？惜，一年光阴，吾不仅未大展身手，且囊中羞涩，债台高筑，节衣缩食，杜绝聚会。
众朋友离去者，有之；鄙视者，有之；唾弃者，有之。皆因司某昔日之优秀少年竟完全失去自我至此所致。司每月九百大钱竟是基础工资、岗位津贴以及误餐补助相加之结果……众友云：“甚矣，汝之不慧，竟能容忍至今，不死何为？”余汗颜，余何尝不想多整几两纹银，上对的起天、下对得起地、中间对得起空气；然而，余出身农家，是苦皆能，是事皆能忍，只可惜终究徒劳无功，虽兢兢业业终究温饱都不得解决，今面容竟呈老态龙钟之相。何也？食不饱，力不足，才美不外现，故犹如千里马，虽有千里之能，然无奈唯有饿死圈中……
司虽不才，不敢以千里马自居，然自知亦不是一庸者。人之立于当世，需一技之长，司某自视甚低，不敢自称满腹经纶，然应付文字之事亦不在话下；然，一载以来，每每扪心自问，无不捶胸顿足，几欲洒泪襟前。何也？漫漫长夜，孤枕难眠，辗转反侧，陋室忆昔，每日之工作唯“清洁”二字……即打扫房屋若干、倒水端茶、虚伪客套，周旋于各所谓领导之间，日复一日，月复一月，受命以来，夙夜忧叹，兢兢业业，诚惶诚恐，畏有所疏漏懈怠……今扶膝自叹，何等悲哀！
一年来不够司某解决温饱，更何谈穿衣游玩，过品质生活；精神上：备受打击煎熬，一年来新掌握一技之长，即打扫卫生，司某好歹一堂堂男子汉，本科毕业生，其不才之至，亦不应沦为清洁工之列，故使其当年年少轻狂之心瞬间苍老，再无活力；一载以来，司某唯唯诺诺，伺候他人胜过关心自己，其所求，仅每日温饱问题，然随物价飞涨，此问题之解决亦不可得。所失——失去了时间、浪费了青春、耽误了大好年华、愧对父母兄姐、做人尊严消失殆尽……
然，何以堂堂风华正茂之青年司某人压抑之至，努力坚持到如今，唯一原因：在等待传说中众人期盼的涨工资之事而已。实在可怜，怪司某年幼无知，竟傻傻苦等一年，终究未果；司某一年来生活所需之数千外债亦无望偿还，故司某人顿悟：此处系年轻人之坟墓也，唯一功能即埋没梦想、埋没青春、消磨斗志、耗费光阴，如是而已。故，顿悟之司某人今决定不应消磨于此，做出选择的时刻已到来。
话说天下势，分久必合，合久必分！既此处不留司某，司某亦不便继续打扰贵处，既不能两惜，何不两离，从此，彼此相忘于江湖！以决绝的姿态！
今恳请开明之领导准许卑微无能之员工司某人辞职，不胜感激！
毕！

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.
