1905年，日本與俄國就在韓利益，發生衝突。當時的沙俄決定從波羅的海調派艦隊支援亞洲，而日方則採取先發制人原則，利用丁字戰術擊敗太平洋艦隊，使之退守旅順港，在陸海挾擊下，旅順港開城投降，太平洋艦隊崩潰。隨後而來的波羅的海艦隊只能單獨與日本決戰，日本再度獲勝，後適逢1905年俄國革命，俄國遂與日本簽訂了《朴茨芽斯和約》，韓國利益轉移至日本手上。
不過，被民族主義煽動的日本國民卻認為賠償太少，而不知道國家已經陷入破產危機。
今天，所有人如同當日的日本國民，在民族主義旗幟下，一同出錢出力，爭取獨立、強大。在佔領菲律賓首都後，更加趾高氣揚，而忽視了餓死的駱駝比瘦馬肥的道理，殊不知道國家已經陷入破產的邊緣。
今天的勝利在於我們率先動員，在對方未整合而有動作之前，迅速擊潰對方部份常備軍力。當首都被佔領之後，對方亦意識到台灣不是當日的小國，已開始實行總動員。
因此，和約的簽訂時刻是恰當好處。
縱管如此，筆者對於和約中的800金賠款能否收到是存疑的。

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.
