Greetings America!
During my Exploratory Campaign, I learned that %15 of potential voters needed more information on where I stand on the issues.
For many people there are 3 key issues they like addressed in this game.
No. 1 "WARS"
No. 2 "GOLD"
No. 3 "New Players"
I will try to take each of these issues and give you what I would like to call "My Contract with America".
WARS!!!- America is in a unique position in this game. Before the Philippines we was the no. 1 Nation in the world when it came to night time damage. Though we are no longer no. 1 in damage, I would like to see us regain our status as no. 1 in RELIABILITY. There was a time when our allies knew if they could hold out till night fall, the United States would take care of the rest. Sadly that is not the case anymore. For one we are smaller than we were in the past, but we also have not been so compelled to pour our hearts into our allies.
That will have to change. If our allies are ones we can not support at all times, then we will need to find some we can. A big part of this game is the relations between players and nations. The United States is a loyal people that will put our resources in play for those we care about. I support our alliance, and hope we can rebuild our relations with them.
With the Department of Defense, I will be working to ensure Americans have what they need to sustain a long conflict, whether it is in support of our allies, or in defense of our homeland.
Other Nations will also know what to expect from us if they decide to attack. NEVER will we sign a peace agreement during the first battle. NEVER will you be able to attack the United States of America without spending over 10,000 gold trying to defeat us. NEVER will you walk away with an easy victory. I AM NOT IN THIS GAME TO WIMP OUT, if ANY nation wants America they will have to fight for it.
ALSO.... NEVER WILL A MEMBER OF OUR ALLIANCE ATTACK US AND WE NOT DEMAND THEIR PUNISHMENT FROM THE ALLIANCE! Never will we attack a member of our alliance without some form of agreement, if we do the alliance should immediately remove us and unanimously declare war. I expect the same thing to happen to a nation that attacks us without some prior agreement.
GOLD!!! - Before you can fight a war you must have a strong economy to support the war. Overall America has one of the best economies in the game. It is in great part due to our low tax structure and strong wages.
For our size, we have one of the best product markets in the game, and it is in great part due to the cost of production, and very affordable import tax. But I feel one of the least recognized advantages to the American market is our consistent Monetary Peg. The value of the US Dollar has remained stable for so long players from other nations find it beneficial to continue investing in our economy for the sake of consistence. Due to our strong Monetary Peg, America is one of the safest nations in the world to invest in.
As President, I will work with the Treasury to make certain we do not harm our economy by invoking uncertainty on the American people. Consistency is key, but if you are going to make changes you should do it in a manner that does not disrupt the market. If taxes are to be adjusted, they should be lowered. The ONLY time I will approve of a tax increase is if it is temporary for the sake of funding an extended war.
New Players!!! - I could just say "see above" but I will go into a little more detail than just that
. When I think of what made me log in every day for over two years, I think of the energy and passion I saw in the older players. I saw a nation dedicated to overthrowing their Russian captors, and reestablishing ourselves as a World Power. It is this energy that will keep new players playing after joining.
Though many of you might be asking "how do we get new players" I'm more focused on "how do we KEEP new players". Right now the programs we had before have fallen to the wayside. I would like to take another look into our old "Department of the Interior/Education" and see what we may need to do to revamp the excitement new players need to feel when they join this game.
We are aMurica, and we need to start letting people know that, especially those who choose us to be the home they start playing in.
So with that, I will close this article by saying, my Contract with America is exactly what you have already seen. It's just time we return to that idea of greatness and start carrying ourselves with the pride we once had.
Can I hear a big "Murica" from the crowd

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.
