Article
Since France took the decision to attack Brazil, a storm of anger and bitterness came from our former allies. Yet, this blinded behavior would require a more pragmatic stance, and I wish here to bring forward elements for people to make their own opinion. Of course, comments are opened for discussion.
Background
Over the last 5 months, activity decayed in the whole game. It can be seen by the numbers of citizens actively playing, as well as the amount of community activities produced by the remaining citizens. I am talking here about articles, their quantity and quality (who wants to spend a lot of time writing a quality text when it will get only 30 votes ?). I am also talking about activity on forums, about number of shouts, businessmen involved and in terms of political activity.
Focus on France
Within those 6 months, France lost 250 citizens (400 to 150 now). As a result, people lost their marks and were not interested anymore in politics : the CP could more or less implement any political approach without any resistance (cf Sebiba’s NAPs with Germany
). The activity on the forum amounted to zero (it still is, but it started way before as well). No remarkable article was published.
Desert
Since no one would even apply for Country Presidency, some people had to take over the charge without any intention nor any plan. This has been the worst months of France, possibily since the creation of the game. Citizens fled military units controlled by Orgs because of the lack of orders, supplies or military plan. CP was left alone, unable to implement anything else than daily management. Some old or active players even moved abroad (like FMSK3E OMG traitor and many more).
Forever alone
Facing these facts, you need to find the reasons. One that occured to me was the absence of challenge. Allied with Ireland, holding UK was very easy, what one loses, the other one gets it back. Belgium was severely hit but their new CP seemed promising. Quickly, decision is made to release the pressure on these two countries.
Supersize me
The last semester, our alliance UNITY had grown, including rather powerful countries such as USA, followed by Brazil and Serbia. At the time, French internal debate was pushing to leave, which the CP declined. We found ourselves in an alliance where we did not count anymore. Alone, firepowers of China and Serbia united could more or less bend any other country, apart maybe Poland, but everybody knows these three countries are absolute cowards and we probably will never have the chance to see the biggest fight in e-sim history.
Farewell
It was therefore without any remorse that I pulled France out of Unity, which I wanted to do for three months already, but heh, I was not CP (kinda busy IRL, yeah, that sometimes happened to me). We should inform the allies at the next meeting, which I ended up missing because of a last minute change. Here I made a considerable mistake by releasing an article called “France goes neutral”. I completely mislead (I assure you unintentionally) the former allies into an absolute neutrality whereas I had warm feelings for less than half of them (including Portugal at that time).
When suddenly, a wild admin appears
It is with great surprise that few days later, someone makes me notice that admin implemented a border with Brazil that I had never seen before. Quickly evaluating how damaged was France, how even more damaged were UK and Belgium, how Germany was almost wiped, how Italy I-don’t-even-think-about-it, that Spain was wiped, France signed peace with Netherlands, Portugal are good friends, I took the decision to prepare an operation on Brazil. 1 month being CP is short, so I did not want to wait any longer.
Operation battlefield in your ass
It did not take long before things got messy. Brazil won the DoW very fast, launched the attack and won the region, after a first fierce battle. Things got easier for them when Portugal decided that they should get involved and DoWed us, with less success than their ally though. Right now the two allies are slowly progressing region after region. In parallel, the first day the operation was launched China/Taiwan signed NAP with their biggest opponents Lithuania/Latvia. Yesterday, Serbia signed NAP with Italy.
Yes, you understood it well, UNT has now free hands to wipe us
Resistance
Immediate coordination has been implemented with Spanish fighters. And because UNT is never leaving any room for you to breathe, they are pushing Spain to secure a deal with them. Yeah yeah ! The ones that have been holding Spain for months, now try to be nice and grant some freedom...just to be sure to crush France (as if they were not already sure of it).
Future
We hope for a new set of alliance to emerge soon, because things are quite locked the way it is. Strong countries stay together to ensure colonies, weak countries stay together to organise the resistance. Only Hydra has a relative size.
Regarding France, we’ll capitalise on the increasing of our activity and hopefully achieve some liberation goals by ourselves.
All the help is welcome.
cheers

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.
