Seeing that mason hale has created the communist party and has asked for criticism I feel like I should throw in my 2 cents. Before I do, I want to first show some respect for mason hale, this is not to disrespect you, and it’s just simple criticism.
I understand the idea of wanting to turn the government into a well running machine but that requires ever to participate.
1. No matter what you will have people who won’t listen and they will just do whatever they want anyway
2. if the government is to involved in everyone day to day operations and they do not approve (super high taxes, constant messages to get them to join a commune to help oil the government machine are 2 examples i can think of) people may leave the USA or even quit if it’s too much. And no I am not accusing the communist party of doing these actions in the future, they were just examples of what could happen if the government becomes this well oiled government machine mason hale wants to create.
And now another humorous picture.
(Now I would describe myself as a capitalist/libertarian but I figured this picture would make everyone on the political/economic scale laugh)
i would go on to say communism would not work in real life but this argument has no place in this game.
Also I believe this video is somewhat relevant since taxation is involved, and before you people say anything about government programs, I am for government IN GAME programs as long as the taxes are a reasonable rate, which they are. I’m sure we can all understand that the in game government cannot do as much as real life government so different rules apply(game mechanics). if anyone is a "socialist"( I’m not using it as an insult, just describing a belief in role of government) this video may not be for you, though if you like to see other points of view, I highly recommend you check it out.

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.
