How are you doing today? Not good? Why not? Financial crisis? *Gasp*
Yes, this is the scene everywhere in the country. The country's economy is on the verge of crashing and burning. For you see, the daily salary is way low and the food/weapons are high priced.
I myself got knocked down from a whooping 23 USD to a pittance of 8$ per day. Now THAT is an outrage. :d
Many are worse off than me, for their employers are not as kind as mine. (Thank you boss. YOU'RE the greatest!)
All jokes aside, the situation is not out of hand yet. Even though the average salary of a player with "5 economy skills" is only slightly higher than the starting salary of "1 economy skill" player, most of the players already have things, items, food, gifts etc, that they can sell if they need some money.
Of course, for those that already have multi-empires and pockets full of gold, the time is ripe for pickening.
Many of the smaller entrepreneurs are selling their company at 10 to 30% loss, and those companies are being bought by those with deep pockets full of gold, only to be put in the market again at a much higher price. Some are even smarter. They are buying companies, but are waiting for the economy to stable once again to sell those companies for higher profit.
Business as usual!
As the regular readers might know, my perception of war is biàsed. For me, it seems like the only profiteers of the war ar those that are already well established, while the newer, less equipped can't even seem to get by.
But what do I know? I'm a mere reporter, not a Politician or a multi-company owner.
The picture becomes even more dispairing when we put into account that some countries (the same ones that were economically dying bit by bit just last few weeks) are now thriving because many of our citizens packed up their bags and left for greener pasture to graze. The going gets tough and the tough gets going, indeed! Kindly note the heavy and undeniable sarcasm.
Coincidently, these desired residential countries are those that the 'Wars between the Titans' either have yet to reach or have already passed.
I hope that all those who are reading this will take heart from the reassurance of our leaders, who are working tirelessly to end the time of peace.. Ehem, time of despairity that our country has falled in.
Though, do forgive them if they forget the issues, while they devote themselves completely to the betterment of the country. Slandering each other and blaming everyone but themselves, does seem like a very demanding and excruciating business.
In other news, the "Presidential Candidature" is as good as ever and there is an 86% chance that Our beloved Mr. president 'God' will be out of his office by the end of it.
Slandering, accusing or pointing fingers is a much appreciated job, reserved only for those well versed in political game. The masterminds usually hold a lot of clout via BB tactics (bribe and blackmail), and the one with more connections usually wins the battle. And from the looks of things, the cabinet holds only a few of 'God's supporters, while the new rising star 'LOCOMASTER394' has charmed his way in the hearts of our country's 70% - 84% citizens. The obvious exception are the die-hard "believers of God", pun intended.
You know, my first day in this game, I sent an IGM to God. I asked him that as he is at 'lvl 1' in standing with only 8 or so XP, a rookie in military and has no econimic skills, how come he had so many companies and so much financial capital. Sadly, I was deemed too unimportant to get the attention of such an important man, let alone get an answer to my question.
If you have seen this article "e-sim.org/article.html?id=6531" then please don't mind me referring to it again, for it is for the benefit of the ones who haven't. It shows our country's position and standing in e-world. Be warned, it is not a pretty image.
I sincerely hope that our new president, who will be selected in the coming Election (That i will vote in this time), will take the burden of our nation on his very capable shoulders and take it to the heights never seen before.
For those who are afraid of heights, keep your eyes closed and hide you face in your hands. Maybe The President will be kind enough to donate blindfolds to those afraid of heights. I'll bring my parachute.
That's all for now and do vote for the right candidate.
(Vote for Gerard Butler! What? What do u mean 'he's not running'? He's perfect. Oh so purrrfect )
Bye all!
Be aware!

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.
