EN This is the first of potential series of brief articles that present the Bulgarian regions to the e-sim community. While it touches upon the real life aspect (they are based on it after all ), this is rather intended to describe the in-game experience of a particular region as well as its significance to the Bulgarian society. As with other articles, I will have to clarify that I would not use “s” prefix since it’s obvious that I am not referring to the real countries/nations as I whole.
It only makes sense to start with the capital region of Sofia which ironically does not even span where it should be in reality (It’s appropriate position is meant to be the southern part of what the region of Vidin comprises of). With the close proximity to three countries, only one of which is in the ALPHA alliance (i.e. Greece ), the heart of the country is rather exposed to become first target for foreign invasions from the west.
Nevertheless, as there is a saying that walls are only as strong as people behind them, same can be rephrased for any region in this game. In that sense, Sofia would not be given up easily because it has both the defenses (6 Q5 DS and 4 Hospitals ) and a large population behind them that can take part in such military action. On the contrary, it can rather be the case that it serves as a launch pad for westward invasions whereby many ordinary citizens would benefit from 20% location damage bonus for their first battles without having to travel. Our virtual world witnesses such undertaking from day 1 itself when Bulgaria makes a successful attempt to quickly take Serbia over and similar fate occurs to Macedonia* in day 39 (when it gets divided between Bulgaria and Greece ). The region did fall once, approximately around day 115, following a Serbian invasion but the occupation of the region was short-lived and, unlike the eastern parts of the country, the region has seen no military action ever since.
At the time of writing this article, the province has a population of exactly 285 people which is currently just over a fifth of the total resident population within Bulgaria as a whole. This by itself is of little importance when work is all that matters. Sofia has a lot of it and, as most of us know well, it can be done from anywhere in a country. The region stands as the country capital (and therefore non-resource bound region) with the highest value of companies in the eSim world and fifth highest amongst all regions. We can therefore deduce that this is the centre of the Bulgarian manufacture business that serves as a final destination for many of the resources that are either imported or gathered from the Bulgarian “high” regions in Plovdiv,Marmara and Coastal Plain.

BG Честит 3-ти март на всички!
Нещо го карам на хибернация откъм писане и игране на сима последно време но не мога да преодолея мисълта че това е ситуацията из българската преса като цяло където ми се вижда спад в качеството на статиите. Под това имам в предвид факта че информативните и/или по-обстойни статии свързани с играта са сравнително малко а някои от тези които са с цел тролене за ММ медали можеха да се постараят повече(уважавам тролските статии но успешното тролене е изкуство и не е за всеки ). Както и да е, до тук с мрънкането за медиите. Тази статийка е първата от евентуална серия която ще представя българските региони на е-сим обществото. Въпреки че се докосва до аспекти от реалният живот(все пак са базирани на него ), това е повече с цел да покрие игровия опит на определен регион както и важноста му за българското общество. Както и другаде съм споменавал, няма да се занимавам с представки „с” пред имената на държавите тъй като си е ясно че не говоря за тези от реалния живот.
Логичното начало е да започна със столичния регион София който админите не са се постарали да се намира там където е в реалност (някъде в южната част на региона на Видин ). Със своята близост до три страни, само една от която е в АЛФА съюза (т.е. Гърция ), сърцето на държавата ни е сравнително открито да бъде първа цел на нашествия от запад.
Както обаче има поговорка че една стена е здрава колкото хората зад нея, подовно нещо може да се каже и за регионите в играта. Така София не би била дадена лесно тъй като си има защитите поставени от правителството (6 к5 системи и 4 болници ) както и голямо население което може да се включи в защитни военни действия. Даже обратното, по-скоро се получава така че региона се превръща в площадка за наши нашествия където много граждани ще имат 20% бонус на щетата при първите битки срещу съседни региони. Нашият виртуален свят става свидетел на такива битки още през ден 1 когато България успява да покори набързо Сърбия и подобна съдба очаква Македония в ден 39 (когато бива поделена между България и Гърция ). Регионът пада веднъж в сръбски ръце около ден 115 но окупацията се оказва краткотрайна и, за разлика от източната част на страната, регионът не е виждал военни действия от тогава.
По времето когато се пише тази статия, провинцията има население от точно 285 души което е малко над 20% от пребиваващите в България като цяло. Това само по себе си е маловажно когато работата е от значимост а София предлага много от нея! Регионът за момента е столицата (т.е. регион без ресурси ) с най-висока оценка на компании в е-сим света и пети в класацията като цяло*. С други думи, това се оказва центъра на българската индустрия и крайна цел за много от ресурсите които са или внесени или събрани в богатите на ресурси региони на Пловдив, Мармара и Костал Плейн.

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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
