Good evening/afternoon/morning, whatever daytime is when you're reading it
I strongly recommend you to pay attention to the fact, that I’m expressing my own opinion (one of an ordinary player), not the MoFA’s opinion or a country representative. It’s only a friendly steer and some of my thoughts, so relax and enjoy it.
I think most of you have heard the fable about sticks (written by Aesop “The father and his sons” ) but anyway I want you to read it once again.
A Father had a four sons who were always engaged with quarreling among themselves. When he failed to stop their disputes, he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. Upon bringing the sticks, he gave the bundles to each of them in succession, and ordered them to break them in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. Then he untied the bundles, and took the sticks, separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands,which they broke quite easily. He advised his sons: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this bundles of sticks, unbreakable by all attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these single sticks."
I bet most of you, reading it, decided it’s another article glorifying A41 alliance, which consists of many top-countries and successfully wipes everything it can.
NOPE.
Right after the official forming of A41, some small countries which weren’t fast enough in their foreign policy appealed to enter the alliance. But at that time A41 had enough members (not to say too many) and further widening was not considered - so their appeal was refused.
What these countries later did was not becoming A41’s enemies (caused by devotion or fear of being wiped, the motives were different) , but they decided to stay pro-A41, they did their best to help their friends, participated in battles on their side and declined enemy’s insidious proposals.
Yep, you got it, I’m talking about Mexico and Ukraine.
As the time was passing by, all countries continued to develop & were drawn into some wars - liberation, punitive or annexionist (for the resources) ones - the history of e-sim was being written.
But once, eager to collect full-set of resources, some countries looked at their allies’ high-regions.
Let’s remember the fact, that long ago Israel (A41) for the sake of friendship gifted its high-iron to Bulgaria. Also it should be noticed, that BiH (A41) did the same thing with its high region lately.
Ages ago Bulgaria was approaching Poland to wipe it with the assist of allies and did it through Ukraine. At that time the treaty between two countries was concluded, according to which the region (high-grain) bordering Poland would be secured by Bulgaria till the Poland was wiped, but no longer than 2 months. This wording was very vague in the text, and it’s naive that Bulgaria doesn’t really want to give back such a pretty bonus to productivity before the end of 2 months, but Ukraine stays on returning region immediately and don’t want to agree on rent on unacceptable terms - max 20 gold/month.
Brazil, having seen the success of Bulgarian policy, decided that they can behave the same and offered Mexico to rent their high-stone region for a laughable price - something around 5 gold/month. When Mexico considered this offer insulting and refused it, USA and Brazil decided just to wipe it out and enjoy high region (they’re stronger anyway).
Remember the fable mentioned above? Let me draw analogy to the current situation.
Dear Brazil, Bulgaria and USA. At this moment you’re the sons of a farmer, who are breaking the sticks easily. But please, think about the fact, that these “sticks” (Ukraine, Mexico, etc.) could unite and after it they’ll be able to “break” you?
Maybe it’s better to treat weaker, but still friendly countries as equal and with respect? The decision is up to you
Bulgarian version
Добър вечер/ден/утро, в зависимост от кога четете това.
Силно ви препоръчвам да обърнете внимание на факта, че изразявам собственото си мнение (това на един обинковен играч), не мнението на МВнР или на държавни представители. Това е само едно приятелско предложение, затова се отпуснете и му се насладете.
Мисля, че повечето от вас са чували баснята за пръчките („ Бащата и синовете му“ написана от Езоп) , но аз все пак искам да я прочетете още веднъж. (бл.прев. вероятно на българската публика тя е повече позната като „Легендата за хан Кубрат” )
В едно семейство синовете на бащата вечно се карали помежду си. Когато той не успял да заличи споровете им чрез своите наставления, един ден им казал да му занесат сноп пръчки. След като те сторили това, той поставил снопа в ръцете на всеки един от синовете си и им казал да го счупят. Те всички се провалили, въпреки че опитали с всички сили. Тогава бащата разделил снопа и една по една ги поставил в ръцете на синовете си, като те съвсем лесно ги счупили. Тогава той се обърнал към тях и казал: „Синове мои, ако мислите по еднакъв начин и се обедините за да си помагате, вие ще бъдете като този сноп – ненаранени, въпреки опитите на враговете си, но ако сте разделени, ще бъдете пречупени като тези пръчици.“
Предполагам повечето то вас, докато четат това, са решили че това е поредната статия възхваляваща алианса А41, който се състои от много топ държави и успешно затрива всичко което може.
Не.
Веднага след официалното формиране на А41, някои малки държави, които не бяха достатъчно бързи във външната си политика, поискаха да се присъединят към алианса. Но тогава А41 имаше достатъчно много членове (да не кажа прекалено) и допълнително разширяване не беше планирано – затова кандидатурите бяха отхвърлени.
След това тези държави вместо да се присъединят към враговете на А41 (заради преданост, или страх от унищожение – мотивите бяха различни) , те решиха да останах на страната на алиансаи дадоха най-доброто от себе си за да помогнат на приятелите си, като водиха битки на тяхна страна и отхвърлиха коварните предложения на враговете.
Да, познахте, говоря за Мексико и Украйна.
С течение на времето, всички държави продължавайки развитието си, бяха въвлечени във войни – за освобождение, наказателни или завоевателни(за ресурси) - историята на e-sim се пишеше..
Но отново, нетърпеливи да съберат пълния набор от ресурси, някои държави погледнаха към high-регионите на своите съюзници.
Нека си припомним факта, че преди време Израел (А41) в знак на дружба отстъпи своя high-желязо регион на България. Също трябва да отбележим, че Босна и Херциговина (А41) направиха същото със своя high-регион по-късно.
Преди доста време, България се приближаваше към Полша с намерението да ги заличи, с помощта на съюзници, минавайки през Украйна. По това време се сключи договор между двете държави, според който регионът граничещ с Полша (който между другото беше с high зърно) ще бъде във владението на България докато Полша бъде превзета, но не за по-дълго от два месеца. Формулировката на този текст е доста неясна и е очевидно, че България няма да иска да върне този хубав бонус към продуктивността преди изтичането на двумесечния срок, но Украйна държи региона да бъде върнат незабавно и не иска да се съгласи за отдаване под наем при неприемливи условия - 20 голд в месец .
Бразилия, виждайки успеха на българската политика, реши че може да се държи по същия начин и предложи на Мексико да наемат техния high-камък регион за смехотворна цена – нещо от рода на 5 голд месечно. Когато Мексико прие тази оферта за оскърбителна и я отхвърли, САЩ и Бразилия решиха просто да пометат Мексико и да се насладяд на high-региона (така или иначе те са по-силни)
Помните ли баснята която споменах по-горе? Нека направя аналогия със сегашната ситуация.
Скъпи, Бразилия, България и САЩ. В този момент вие сте синовете на фермер, които чупят пръчките без усилие. Но моля ви, помислете относно факта, че тези „пръчки“ (Украйна, Мексико и т.н.) биха могли да се обединят и след това те биха имали възможността да „пречупят“ вас.
Може би е по-добре да третирате по-слабите, но все пак приятелски настроени държави, като равни и с уважение? Решението оставам на вас

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.
