7. How have you dealt with these PTOers? Do you have a system for them? Who are the major PTOers?
7. The main 2 ptoers are
Jake Sully and 
BossX . At the moment we still have majority in congress but that may change after DC with all their shared IP forms etc might end up being 50/50 PTOers/ loyal players. There isn't too much we can do expect make shared IP forms too but i don't really want to do that. GOs should really do something about this being used to take advantage for key positions in the game. Just have to outplay them, i guess. We got rid of ARAS after 6 months - they tried to PTO and failed. Funny thing is that as inactive as Australia gets at times, as soon as internal PTOers come about everyone gets active and organized which is what i love to see.
8. I know what you mean - being very active in politics of Estonia I have seen all this and had to deal with it too. Do you have any plans about what you will do in case PTOers should win the majority in congress? Because when that happens nor your congress or CP will have power anymore.
8. Jake got in last elections but we managed to get him impeached. Depending on how many Latvians get into congress we might be able to do this again i dunno. He got in and then went on holidays so i don't know what his deal was there, why even bother. He's more active now again. Its not like they can do that much, org barely has money and Indonesia is DoWing us again so no tax income there.
I just want Indonesia and Latvia to understand one thing - they are fighting over 29AUD/day worth of taxes so is it really worth it?
Indonesia should stop being scared and invade Iran for more income, Iran has always been the aggressor to Indo not us so why are they afraid?
9. How many citizens are there in Australia, how many of them active and how many residents does your country have? Most importantly - how many of all the citizens are original Australians and how many PTOers have entered the country?
I just want to make a small off-topic statement that this interview started about one and a half hours before DC of 25th/26th of March and right now there's an hour to go until the congress results are revealed so the PTO-situation is very-very actual in Australia right now, while this interview is running.
9. I think about 25 Latvians + multis and 40 loyalist. Out of that about 10 might be actual Aussies.
Luis Ariel Zavarella banned 6 of the multies after last elections but I'm not sure if they made more.
However our population has gone up 20 magicially so... I think you know where i'm going with this point
10. Who are your government members and which people do you trust most? Who has helped you the most with president matters and fighting PTOers?
10. Over the various months I have been CP there has been a great range of different players I have worked with but if i had to name a few, i'd say
Masterilke , the king of gold - that guy makes gold out of thin air in this game and always used his skills to keep 
Australia Org stable from MM attacks; Matte Black who has always helped with her minions in big battles, as well as dealing with alliances on my behalf due to timezone. Being in Australian timezone it's a bit hard to go to 3AM meetings. She has always been willing and happy to help though, which has been fantastic; Luis Ariel Zavarella has been a great help - he taught me a lot about the game and rules and helped guiding me in my first 2 terms since back then I had no idea what I was doing. Not to mention his Ban hammer. Poor Indo multies!
It's worth noting that none of these people are real life Aussies but they came to Australia and stayed for a long time helping us here. With their help we kept ARAS out and even got into Unico when
Masterilke destroyed Iran's DS3 to which trojan26 , then current CP of Iran and SC of Unico said withing 30 mins - "Australia is in unico" (he was too cheap to loose anymore). They are all experienced players and they all have my absolute trust.
11. You mentioned earlier that your country has about 10 original Australians. I think it would be worth mentioning them since there's so few of them.
Who are the guys keeping Australia up?
11. The true native Aussies i know of are as follows
Glacius696 , 
Rafe , 
Buster Brown , 
Ameshanu , 
Archduchess Diablo I , 
darkaustin , Galaxycruiser , 
Creation , 
Lion ElJonson and 
mhanth4f . The last one's a kiwi but in this game it doesn't owe difference and we love him 'cos he says things like this to Jake Sully and other Latvians in shouts -"i want to slap this bitch above me" 
12. Where do your people fight day-to-day, which countries do you have alliances with and which big alliances beside AP do you support?
12. Currently as Iran pushed into Indonesia we managed to free Australia but Indo just DoW us again as we speak and considering all the multies they use to deal 30 times the damage, we probably will be wiped again soon. Usually we fight for alliance and lately we have been helping Brazil with their war as per alliance orders before all our own RWs. I suspect we will be fighting Indonesia and hopefully with some strong allies we can hold them off a little bit more just to waste their gold if they really want that 29 AUD a day. But overall we are commited to AP and will continue to support them 100% (expect the Latvians of course).
13. What do you think are the biggest succeeds and mistakes you have done while being the CP of Australia?
13. Sucesses i would say getting us expected into Unico and having epic battles in Western Australia, same time holding Indo off for 1 month. After that i wasn't CP and we got wiped
. I like to think the main things i have do right is working with the right people and keeping strong communication, as there are a lot of very experienced players who give me other points of views to help in decision making which has helped me have good stable governments in my terms which i think is success in its own right.
Mistakes - that was a hard part of the question. I consulted my staff members but after heavy discussion we couldn't find any major or serious mistakes in my actions. As some of my staff said:
[9:51:19 AM] Luis Zavarella: hmmm
[9:51:21 AM] Luis Zavarella: mistakes..
[9:51:37 AM] Luis Zavarella: i dont recall any mistake
[9:51:49 AM] Luis Zavarella: australia isnt a place where too much things happens
[9:52:03 AM] Ilke: Australia is like leaf on the wind you can't make any cardinal mistakes
[9:52:12 AM] Luis Zavarella: and the mistakes were done by me, Mushroom, clara, etc
[9:52:24 AM] Ilke: because almost nothing is depending on you
[9:52:37 AM] Luis Zavarella: XD
14. Now the last question - The elections are now over, how did they go? How many PTOers got in, how many honest Australians?
14. I like how the majority of Latvians have 2 votes each 1 for themselves, 1 from their multies and how 4 honest Aussies missed out of congress. What a shame, the admins should implement a rule that any shared IP can't vote in elections to reduce this from happening. So now it's 12 loyal/ 8 PTOers. If Jake wins next elections we won't have numbers to impeach.
Plus they can invite more Latvians here now.
15. It's been a good interview and revealed a lot of information about Australia. Thank you very much and I wish you best of luck in the future.
15. Thank you for taking the time to interview me, been my pleasure!

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.
