Presidential Elections Preview & Analysis
This month, we've seen more candidates (all of whom are very capable) step up to the plate and candidate themselves for President of the United Kingdom. I genuinely think that it will be a close election between all candidates, and wish them all the best of luck. I now want to go through a preview/analysis of all the candidates and conclude the winner.
NOTE: I can promise all readers that this will be an unbiased analysis.
1. Home Affairs & Internal Programmes
Smack promises his new 'Bewbz4Fewdz' scheme, which looks promising and fresh, and it would be a good way to retain our new players in our current baby boom. On the contrary, iPSiArt plans to extend the baby boom and keep raise the UK's population by hundreds, which of course would be very beneficial for the UK. Lastly, Feodalbey plans to continue the Mentor Scheme as well as keeping an informed and active community.
Personally, I find it hard to pick the best out the three in this catergory. For this reason, Home Affairs will be a tie between all three candidates. They all show initiative, fresh ideas and proven capability in this department.
2. Foreign Affairs
Starting with Smack again, he promises to introduce a nation-wide referendum to give everyone their say on where to go regarding foreign affairs. iPSiArt also says that the UK needs to leave neutrality, but gives no clue how or in which direction. However, his allegiance to Lithuania and OBA could cause biased views in this department. Feodalbey also says the same, but gives no clue as to which direction he would take the UK, or how.
Again, all candidates looking strong in this department. With this in mind, I personally feel that Smack's plans to give everyone a say regarding the UK's direction and position on the foreign affairs stage. For this reason, I give Smack the point for foreign affairs.
3. The Military
UKAF needs particular focus this term, being the UK's official military unit. Feodalbey promises to increase supplies and make the UKAF stronger than ever. iPSiArt, on the other hand, mentions rearranging MUs within the army which could be interesting and have a large affect on the country. Smack, sadly, holds a high ranking position in the Bonkers MU which leads me only to assume that he would have a biased view in this department. However, he promises to increase the UKAF's supplies to Q5 gifts daily, and weapons on top! This would be a very hard task.
Smack's and iPSiArt's allegiances to other military units lead us to assume that they would not have a completely objective view within this category. For this reason, as well as good ideas and fixed promises, I give the point in this category to Feodalbey.
4. Economy & Financial Programmes
Finance isn't my area of expertise, so please excuse my lack of sufficient knowledge in this department. Under Smack's direction, the Ministry of Finance will be buying and selling currencies and goods at a profit. This would surely boost the UK's gold balance significantly, if all goes well. iPSiArt leaves no clues of his plans regarding the economy, so it is hard to pick anything out of his articles, however he does mention that we need to "prepare for war", which could suggest enthuasiasm for improvement. Feodalbey plans to export our goods to foreign markets in order to increase our profits, which surely would be beneficial.Feodalbey also plans to introduce guilds in order to improve production and profits.
Both Smack and Feodalbey seem strong in this department. However, Feodalbey's new ideas and past success (and not dismissing Smack's past success) lead me to choose him as the best candidate in this department, so I give him the point.
You can see how close this analysis was, and how close it will be tomorrow. I hope everyone votes, and votes wisely and for the benefit of the UK!

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.
