Another day, another campaign article. I've titled this one '360 Degrees' because I feel like the President always needs to have his head on a swivel. You have to be ready for as many possible situations as you can be. That means both foreign and domestic.
Internationally, we are part of an alliance with a strong core group of members. One thing at issue is that we often seem to be delivering damage in a supporting role, rather than taking the lead in things. Some of our allies are in more precarious positions, geographically speaking, which leads to more regular direct battles of consequence. Our population is growing, our strength with it, and it's time for America to lead. We need to sit down with our allies and start seriously talking about our long term plans as a group. I've already begun talks with leaders here at home like
Liquid HOMICIDE (whose endorsement I was proud to earn tonight ), and during my tenure as Deputy Secretary General of Sigma President 
Khaled Ibrahim and I began some talks I plan to continue into the coming month.
I will seek to give our citizenry fun battles to fight in that are more than just a trip to Sweden (although I do appreciate the multiple opportunities to win Battle Hero medals fighting for them).
Now that I've addressed one of the many aspects of foreign affairs, let's take a closer look at ourselves in the mirror.
What can we do here at home?
I've already spoken about my plans to boost activity, and I was happy to help current (and future) Secretary of the Interior
Baarogue work up improvements to current programs they run...so what else is there?
The biggest idea I have is more of a Defense initiative than Interior, but as it directly benefits the citizenry, I'm going to lump it in. I want to make a tweak to Hell on Wheels. Right now mid to high strength players get extra supplies for important battles. That's great, let's keep doing it. Something I'd like to do is help the smaller guys, especially those in newer and smaller MUs.
If your MU has a track record of following DoD orders and helping advance our national interests, but can't yet afford full q5 food rations, I want to help you. On days when we open Hell on Wheels, you can swap out daily food rations which are below quality 5 for quality 5 food.
We will then take the food that has been exchanged and give it to the Interior Department to help save money on what they purchase to support new players.
We'll also be working on a faster way to get tickets out to people, but that is a problem for which the only 'quick' solution is to require IRC activity, which isn't always feasible for everyone. This is going to be a priority for my Defense and Interior teams. That 20% location bonus means a lot both for the individual and the country, I want us to make sure people aren't missing out on it because a ball has been dropped.
Because this is getting long, I'm going to wrap it up here. Thanks for reading, and once again thank you to
Liquid HOMICIDE for his endorsement !
As always, I remain
Yours,
~

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.
