Three out of four alliances can be found in Europe. These are the Magnum Pactum, Sons of Thor and Phoenix. There is also the existence of neutral countries in the region that hold significant amount of military strength. While most of the strength is concentrated within the MP alliance, the possibilities of the other alliances to bandwagon because of the perceived threats from the MP remains plausible. There's also a fare chance for neutral countries to join an alliance due to the same security threats. In short, balance of power in the region continues to be unstable and the only way to keep it in check is for alliances to merge and for other nations to join the weighing scale.
Poland's takeover of gargantuan Russia, an event unprecedented in contemporary history, asserts the rhetoric that the country remains one of the most, if not THE most, powerful nations in the world, amassing the most strength points rivaled only by its ally, Lithuania. The ongoing competition in the continent has already spilled over to South America, where regional powers Spain and Portugal compete in occupying the resource rich lands of Argentina and Brazil, and is also threatening to make an entrance to Asia with Bulgaria starting an offensive against Turkey, known as Europe's gateway to the Asian region.
The new Napoleonic Wars?
The architecture of Europe in Primera can be compared to that time of the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), which is a series of wars between the French Empire and opposing alliances and coalitions. The event catapulted France to become the most powerful nation in the continent but collapsed rapidly after its disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.
If there's one country in Primera today that can assume the role of France during the Napolenic Wars, no doubt it is Poland. The country, like I said earlier, is the current strongest in the world and already has Russia in its hands. While Poland is not directly involved in any conquest right now, the country remains vulnerable to security threats and the chances of its neighbors secretly forging an alliance with Russia to contain Poland's military strength is not at all impossible. Remember that in the realms of international relations, your friends aren't always your friends and your enemies aren't always your enemies.
Remember that the Napoleonic Wars ended with France's defeat.
Also, Poland's alliance with Lithuania is crucial for both countries. If the two decides to go separate ways, that could mean chaos for Europe and the integrity of the two countries' current territories will be in danger.
US, on the verge of collapse?
I am sure there are those who are doubting my prediction on Poland's future collapse. To justify it, perhaps we could look at the current situation of the United States whose constant expansionism has urged several smaller nations to form the United Nations and gang up on it. So far, the United Nations has gained ground in advancing its interests. They were able to help Canada take back its original territory from the United States and right now, the US is also experiencing challenges from Mexico, Canada and China, all members of the UN.
The possibility of the same thing happening to Poland? Well, let's just say I can see it in the horizon.
Another thing, Poland's submissiveness to US could be dangerous. If Poland fails to take charge, she'll fail epically.
Who Europe has to watch out for?
There are two countries European states have to watch out for and ironically, these country are not even in Europe: the Philippines and Indonesia.
Indonesia has already occupied almost all of Australia's territory and has started a campaign to expand its territory in South America and with its rapidly growing population, enormous productivity and strength, it sure can rival the European states Span and Portugal when it comes to the scramble for South America.
The Philippines, on the other hand, is a sleeping dragon. With a population more than twice that of Poland, this country is about to change the landscape of international politics in Primera. It's successful campaign to take over three regions of Malaysia and its imminent takeover of the entire country go to show that it's a force to be reckoned with in the world.
So how will these two countries affect European politics? Well, it will depend on how Europe will approach the emergence of these two Asian giants. Does Europe perceive them as friends, rivals or foes?
Really, only time can tell how the future of Europe and the rest of the world will turn out. But everyone better be prepared for it.

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.
