I'm going to say a few things that likely wont be popular, but in my opinion are true.
The first is, I'm disappointed in eUSA.
eUSA, partly through the work of IR, but mostly through the efforts and kindness of
Manda was liberated. We had nothing to offer and Poland nothing to gain from withdrawing from our soil. Many would like to say that Poland was weakened, but they have shown that to not be the case. Just a couple days after the withdrawal of Polish troops from East Cost, Gulf of Mexico and Central America liberation groups began initiating RWs in the Pacific Coast. The people could not wait for their PC companies to be able to pay in US currency. The government did not sanction these actions and the American people showed that they do not need the government's support or approval to wage war.
Conversations where had that we should join their alliance and I strong opposed doing so. As any of my fellow congressmen can attest I didn't support joining Poland. I refused to go crawling on my hands and knees into the lions den. At the same time I also, possibly even more strongly, opposed breaking our NAP. There were some in congress who did not agree with me, and it was apparent that the American public did not agree with me either. I felt that it was important to keep our word, and to be trustworthy. I would be surprised if Poland trusts us again in the near future.
This game is more than a game of war. It is also a game of politics, of relationships, of alliances. From what I have gleaned in the few months I have lived here is that most of these alliances have been strategic. The difficulty with these alliances is that strategies change, and at that time, it is difficult to put others desires before your own. In time the foundation for these alliances crumble, and they fall. Alliances built on relationships are not perfect either, people in power come and go and with these changes in power relationships can be strained. However, support, kind words, and selfless acts are rarely forgotten.
Over the last few days I've seen finger pointing and complaining. I've always said, I will continue to say, "What was my part?" I'd encourage you all to sit back and say the same thing. It's easy to sit back and blame others, it is much harder to reflect back on oneself. If you actively fought to regain our territories in Alaska, and PC before the NAP was ended, you too are to blame for the impending occupation. I've seen complaints about the lack of support from our new allies. Yet, I've also witnessed battles that our PotUS has marked as priority 1 end with ZERO damage from American citizens.
We need to realize that we are not strong enough to stand alone, and be willing to build relationships with other nations, NOT by taking from them, but by giving of ourselves to them!

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.
