Article
First off, let me apologize for not posting an article in quite a while. I've been busy serving America in two high-level positions (not at the same time, thankfully): Secretary of Media and Secretary of State. After a month and a half at the head of the Media Department, I was transferred to the State Department, by far the largest government section. With the presidential term about halfway completed, this is as good a time as any to inform you of what we do.
What is the State Department? Do you run the state, like Governor of New York or something?
No, although I wouldn't mind being a governor
. The State Department handles foreign affairs - how we interact and communicate with every other country. Negotiating peace settlements, creating mutual protection pacts, finding allies to fight with in battles, all that is handled by the State Department.
Come on, that's no excuse for not writing an article. What could you possibly have been doing for the past fifteen days?!
Quite a bit, actually, we've been extremely productive. Most importantly, we've had several rounds of intense negotiations with Portugal in hopes of closing the war that is still open, although the two nations are in a temporary ceasefire while Lithuania invades our ally Sweden. Hopefully, a settlement is on the horizon, and as soon as an agreement is reached the public will be informed of the details.
The war in Portugal has been only one focus of this administration. We've become strong allies with several nations, including Poland, Serbia, Taiwan, and yes, Canada. The debacle from last month is behind us; we see Canada as someone who can help us, and someone whom we are willing to help. This allows us to be friendly with all the nations of North America, giving us a huge edge in the event we are ever invaded. We've also greatly strengthened ties with China, France, and our Sigma bros from Spain. All of our allies we've made have been so helpful for us in Portugal and in Sweden, and we thank them very much for their help. It has always been, and will continue to be, the view of the United States that we are willing to help our friends whenever possible, on the sole condition that our friends do the same for us.
You're right, that is a lot of stuff! How do you manage to do it all?
Well, I'm proud to say that I can't take credit for a lot of this. Much thanks must go out to all of the employees of the State Department. In fact, let me introduce them to you now!

This sounds totally cool, how can I become one of these ambassabros?
Unlike most things in governments, becoming an ambassador is pretty simple. Send a message to me if you're interested. The only requirements? You must have an account on the national forums , and you must be active in the national chatroom . That's it!
Let's say I do want to be an ambassador. What would I need to do?
Ambassadors' top priority is to report to the government what is going on in their assigned country. That means interacting in their national chatroom to gauge how the public views America; talking to government officials to find out what the nation's plans are; following the nation's media to see what is important to the people of that country; and just about anything else you can find that will help you discover more information about your country and further our relations with them. You don't have to do all of these things by any stretch. But there's one thing you do have to do: write a report to the State Department every Sunday. Your regional DSoS will remind you a day ahead, and a day after they'll send you a message letting you know what you should focus on for the next week.
What's in it for me? What do I have to gain from being an ambassador?
Being an ambassador is the best stepping stone into working for the government. It is a way for you to build a reputation as a hard worker. Many of America's top dogs began as ambassadors - like President
Khaled Ibrahim , who's been an ambassador to several nations, and myself, who started out as the ambassador to Russia. If there is any job that will help you learn the skills necessary to become a leader in the future, being an ambassador is that job.

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.
