Greetings America!
It's hard to believe my term is already coming to a close. Most of you will have already cast your vote by the time you read this, and I wish to thank you for taking part in this election. Regardless of who you cast your vote for, it is a grand thing to be permitted to vote for your future leader.
I know some of you smirked when you read those last couple sentences. I imagine you are thinking "c'mon met3, it's just a game... No big deal." But really, it is a big deal. Yes this is a game, but this game is representing the ethics and standards of Western Democracies and Republics, of which the United States is the standard. When you look across the game map you will notice many countries that are not guaranteed an open and fair election in RL. The idea that they can take part in selecting a leader, even in a fantasy land like e-sim, is a great honor for many who play this game. I'm not trying to get all mushy and such, but I am trying to put this in perspective for you.
YOUR VOTE MATTERS! YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT! YOUR VOTE HAS VALUE!
Never forget the significance of your vote. Guard it from those who feel they can put a dollar sign on it, carefully vet those who are asking for it, and determine by YOUR own standards if they are worthy of your vote. Your vote is an investment in the future of the eNation. Just like you will research Stock Companies before investing in them, you should do the same with Candidates asking for your vote.
When you cast your vote, you are saying "I trust this person to do what I think is best for the nation. This person best represents where I stand".
When you cast a vote for me, I first am humbled that you have confidence in me as a Leader, but then I am obligated to fulfill the duties of the Office you gave me. As your Elected Leader, it is my responsibility to make sure I give you the proper return on your investment. Below, I would like to list some ways I tried to give back to the Nation as their President.
I promised I would try to restore Belief in America. I pledged a commitment to unity, as well as an understanding that I would restore the value of the American promise to other nations.
During my term as President, we opened up the Department of Defense for the first time in weeks, and immediately began giving Americans a return on their tax dollars by way of supplies. We used those supplies to do hundreds of millions worth in damage for our allies, while also keeping promises America made in the past.
For the first time in months a Budget was passed by the United States Congress. I just did in one month what took Barack Obama and two Speakers of the House nearly 6 years
Our national production of product went up nearly 10% during my term. We now produce 90 units more product per citizen than China and nearly 600 units per citizen more than Greece.
For the first time in months we sent Ambassadors to other nations to firm up our relations, and grow friendships.
I know there was not much to look at from the outside, but trust me, my team worked non stop to provide a great return on your investment.
I hope you will find this return worth re-investing in. I value your vote, but more than that, I value your friendship.
It was a great honor being your President, and I hope to remain as such. But if you feel I deserve to be fired, then I respect your decision, and will promise a smooth transition of power.
In everything I do, I hope to keep our "Country First". Our values matter, our ethics matter, and our unity matters.
Thanks for your support!

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.
