I had hoped to have the time to finish putting all of the pieces in place and finalized in Congress before announcing this, but we have some people running around spouting rumors and incomplete information about what is going on. I'm going to start at the beginning and explain it as I did to Congress, so everyone understands the entire picture.
I was approached by Poland yesterday about the possibility of creating a new alliance. They listed a number of countries to be included, and I was a bit surprised when told both the UK and Sweden had already agreed to join. This was the first I'd heard of any changes like this in any way that wasn't a vague whispered rumor. So, I sat down with the Swedish and British Presidents and they told me both had agreed that this new alliance was the best move to take.
Being presented with the other two founders and core members of Sigma saying they intended to join a new alliance took me aback, but I heard them out. The idea irked me a bit as including Poland meant not including Spain, at least for the time being. However, when presented with the UK and Sweden leaving Sigma to do this, my options were as follows:
1. Join this new alliance
2. Stay in Sigma and attempt to guilt/convince the UK and Sweden to stay
3. Stay in Sigma, watch the UK and Sweden go off to this new venture
Options two and three seem, to me, to create a situation where Sigma is basically the USA, Spain, and Ireland. Ireland being so close to the UK and not being in their new alliance could face potential trouble, giving us another MPP war to wage basically on our own against two countries we're very close to. So now it's basically the USA and Spain off doing our own thing with no other allies. Not an ideal position to be in.
I brought the issue to Congress, saying I felt it was the best move for us to join this new alliance. I did so only after ensuring that the USA, Sweden and the UK will maintain their MPP with Spain. Poland has been given notice that hostility towards Spain on their part is not going to be tolerated, and would lead to the immediate dissolution of our relationship with them. Their President agrees wholeheartedly and is actively talking with the Spanish President to try and rebuild what once was a good relationship between these two countries. It will take time, but I am invested in helping them bridge that divide.
The USA might be embarking on a new adventure with this alliance, but we are not leaving our friends out in the cold. We will maintain our ties with Spain, and will defend them if they are attacked. It is my personal hope that in the coming weeks the relationship between Poland and Spain can be repaired and we can once again find ourselves sharing an alliance HQ with our friends in Spain.
I hope this clears up some of the confusion people are creating by not fully explaining the situation (either because they don't know better or they don't care to take the time to). Nothing has been signed, no changes are formalized, and until Congress votes on the matter, the discussion is ongoing. I'm not like some past Presidents who assume they can join an alliance without Congressional approval. Once the discussion there has finished, our next step will be decided.
As always, I remain
Yours,
Pfeiffer
President of the United States

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.
