What am I going to do?
1) Buy premium account status for the month to make MMing easier.
This one's pretty self-explanatory. MMing is a tedious process, and whatever can make it easier is better. I'm willing to spend the 7 bucks to be able to broadcast to the party.
2) Redesign the logo.
Somebody pointed out recently that our logo looks a little bit amateurish. Since I designed the first logo, and haven't really messed with it in a few months, I decided to work on it again. I came up with a new design, and it's up to you guys to choose which version of it you like better.
A) The current logo
B) Version 2.1
C) Version 2.2
Let me know which one you like better in the comments.
3) Get a NAF section on the forums set up.
We need a place to organize and discuss things. I've requested the board, but while that's in-progress, if you haven't signed up for the forums already, go do it. You can find more information about this in the DoE Information Web .
4) Get a group of party executives, advisors, and leaders together.
I can't run the party on my own. So far, the people that will be joining me are
Baarogue and 
LexLuthor1 . I've got a few more people in mind, so I'll publish an article in a few more days with more details about all of the party's leadership.5) Start a NAF Writers Guild.
This will be a way for all NAF members to help each other's media efforts out. grim already started this effort by publishing an article with a list of all NAF party members papers .
For now, as an NAF member, all you have to do to be part of the Writers' Guild is to add this banner to the end of each article you publish (that isn't an official government article):
<url=http://e-sim.org/article.html?id=24557]<img]http://i.imgur.com/vexQD.jpg</img]</url]
In the future, I'll add some benefits for Guild members, but I wanted to get this started right away.
6) Keep the Outreach Program running.
Grim started up an Outreach program to help recruit people into the party last month. I'd like to have him and
met3_ keep working on this program in the coming month. Again, more details will be coming later, once I have had a chance to organize this (which is one of the main reasons for getting a forum section set up).
This month is going to be fun, and there's a lot I have in mind. If you're as excited as I am about the month ahead, please, volunteer and help make this party better!
Signing off,
Feefaroni

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.
