I'M IN UR WHITE HOUSE, MEMIN IT UP
Hello, America!
You might remember me from my work sending out orders via the Department of Defense organization. What you might not know is that I also sent some houses that weren't doing anything on the DoD to the DoI (which publishes this lovely, never-updated paper).
Well, after figuring out no one was using the Department of Interior organization for anything, I gained access to the Department of Interior organization and cleaned house, sending supplies of hundreds of items to the Department of Defense (as well as, just now, transferring to USA Org the 5 Gold earned by Tosh's totally-thunder-stealing WHPR article yesterday). Because, you know, we're under invasion and the goods aren't doing any good here. I had hoped to publish this days ago, when I first came to the Org, but it looks like Tosh beat me to it! Oh well, we can still have a bit of fun with this paper, hmm?
I've unilaterally decided that the houses I transferred should go to some use -- and what better use than to give them to you, America?
So let's have a raffle! After all, you might need a new house after the Poles burn down your old one!
Prize Pot:
The Grand Prize Winner will receive:
1 Q5 House (valued at about 1100 USD on the U.S. market)
The Six Runners-Up will receive:
1 Q1 House + 50 USD*
*Thanks to your support, the prize money for each of the six runners-up will be 50 USD each instead of just 10 USD each! Thanks for keeping it real in America! Go Team USA! \o/
Time to purchase tickets is now till 0:00 on Day 378, so if you want a chance to win, get to it, America.
Rules:
1. The only requirement is that you hold USA citizenship.
2. The only restriction is a maximum of 500 tickets (one USD per ticket) per person.
3. The only org to donate to is
Department of the Interior for the raffle. There was a misunderstanding before, but from this point forward, we're keeping it all on Department of the Interior to make it easier to keep track of, thanks.
The Lucky Seven Winners will be selected by fighting to the death in a no-holds-barred, no-rules slugfest. Kidding. I'll just assign every ticket purchased a number based on the order in which it was purchased, then run them through a completely fair and unbiased Random Number Generator .
Is this maybe a slightly better use of the paper, InternationalRanger ...? It provides me with momentary amusement, which is always a worthy cause in my book!

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.
