What's BIG This Week?
#1) UK citizens
benatty co and kamalabubaker permanently banned in a power play by the administrators; for multiple accounts and refusing to abide by warnings respectively. Famished Telegraph supports the administrators in this decision - keeping the game fair is what keeps it fun, folks!
#2) Party Presidential elections heat up, with
Bacon and 
Damon Mortis the lead candidates of TPP and UKZP, respectively. If you're reading this as a member of UKZP, Famished Telegraph would like to inform you that UKZP are NOT under PTO, and Damon Mortis has employed slander in his campaign to retain the Party Presidential crown. Its getting down and dirty - more on the results next week!
#3) BATTLE OF THE WEEK: Sweden vs Lithuania (Gotaland) - In a down to the nails battle of the titans between the two major alliances of FORTIS and ALPHA, Gotaland was gained back by its rightful owners; Sweden. Total damage for the attackers was 27 million; just 2 million more than the defenders, on the side of Lithuania. Our thanks goes out to the foreign MUs who pumped damage into helping Sweden regain their full independence; notably Polish Torg Family ; with 4.1 million damage, Chinese 15th Airborne Corps ; with 3.1 million damage, and of course, British Bonkers MU ; with 2.7 million damage.

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.
