I'm going to start with the thing anyone should look at discussing strategy, the map.
Legend:
A - The Great West, B - Northern France, C - North Holland-Utrecht (Dutch Capital), D - Sorlandet, E - Gotaland (not the Swedish capital, but high stone),
1 - North East England (NEE, high diamond), 2 - London, 3 - South West England (SWE), 4 - Wales, 5 - Scotland, 6 - Northern Ireland (NI),
Okay, there are several ways into the territories of the United Kingdom. However, as indicated by the devil, the threat at the present moment is coming from the east. Thus we are looking at ways to attack from the east, north and south.
The five (5) black arrows indicate how people can attack us. For example France has attacked us several times across the channel both from The Great West (A) and Northern France (B), and the current attack in North East England, here after called NEE (1), is done across the sea by the Lithuanians from Sorlandet (D).
This is not the first time we are attacked. The UK was the last country ever to be overrun, but we were quickly liberated again just to be conquered again. This was followed once again by a liberation. The resistance wars are however started by sporadic resistance war-medal-hunters (RW-hunters),not by the British government.You see, we are a government of people who uses our brains, who think before we act. We know, and understand, the meaning of the word "strategy". This doesn't mean we have the best strategy, I don't want to raise us working day after day on a voluntary basis for the United Kingdom to the skies but hey... if we start a RW, there's a fought behind it.
Wellington knew his strategy
The reason why we haven't started RWs in NEE is because we have had other priorities, like raising gold, gathering support, masturbating, trying (and sometimes failing) to organise the British Army, building up supplies of guns and food and gifts, building defense structures, you know... creating a foundation from which you actually can wage a war against a country which is a lot bigger than us.
But okay, why do we think nations should be interested in helping us? Simplified, three reasons;
1. Common foe - We don't like Lithuania, let's be honest. Sorry to hurt feelings, but we don't. They have attacked us, and we haven't really had a chance to mend those relations. However we are not alone in that context, there are others, who have been attacked and feel a desire to aid any other country occupied by them.
2.We are the wall standing in between them and potential enemies - We have a position in the world, which means that if say Brazil wanted to attack Norway (not saying they want to), they could very well go through Portugal --> Ireland --> United Kingdom --> Norway. If say Germany wanted to attack Canada (once again, not saying that they actually want to), they could go through the Netherlands --> United Kingdom --> Canada.
3. Because some people in this game are simply just ossim
Number two (2), can be further explained by the two arrows named USA and Canada...
We are a gateway together with Ireland to the western part of the hemisphere, places which got massive resource-supplies and fantastic broads to bonk (heteronormative) and fab clubs where one could dance to Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" (not as heteronormative).
New topic, Northern Ireland (6), Wales (4) and Scotland (5). What to do? My government's view is simple and dead-honest. We don't want them unless we can defend them. There is no point getting hold of, and in that process wasting time and energy, on regions which hold no other value than emotional. We will take them as our country comes back, that's for sure. However at this moment it isn't interesting. With the risk of random idiots, I dare to say don't RW them. Don't fight there in case they RW them.
Now the last thing, why does the UK not have more mutual protection pacts (MPPs)?
Simple,
This cat isn't the only one with a big nasty worm... we too. We have lazy worms too (Swedish saying, lazy worm, latmask)...
Okay seriously no, the truth is that we are not a complete bunch of no-lifers. Personally I study full time, I'm organised in the Swedish Social Democratic Labour Party's youth organisation and in an organisation working against racism among young people, and that's then I'm not doing daily life-shit or spending time with my friends.

Mallo is working. The same story comes again and again and again through-out the government. 
law7441 , 
Wolf Warrior , 
Luke Warm , 
CastoriousBG and so forth. We have other things to do.
Not to complain, but you know, voluntary work, which is also why I make sure that I thank my ministers every time they do something useful, something everyone should do every once in a while no matter the context.
Anyway, as usual, feel more than welcome to be a part of the United Kingdom, after all we got love enough for two and are from now on the most f'ing transparent country in the eWorld. If I've forgotten something in the text, then I don't f'ing care, although feel free to ask any question here on in a PM.

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.
