I was elected as a congress member for E-UK last month, after spending a full month as a member of congress and voting on every law proposal which I noticed which hadn’t expired I came to the conclusion that politics as a member of congress in E-sim isn’t as interesting as it could be, I just want to make clear that it does add more enjoyment to the game for me than being a standard citizen but it could be developed so much more than it current state.
IRL there isn’t one political system which every nation follows, being from the UK we have a parliamentary system which doesn’t even have a president, having a queen as head of state. Why can’t the game accommodate political change within its mechanics, yes you can do a civil war but thats expensive and I don’t see much worth behind it.
The changes I would like to see would be the implementation of different forms of government, such as Parliamentary systems, more than one house (house of commons/ house of lords or whatever the non UK equivalent is). Even the drawing up of constitutions etc allowing a change in the length of time of congress/presidential elections and limits on the number of times being able to run for president consecutively and the ability to change this constitution, this will give far more variety to the options currently available to congress and make politics something which people can invest more time into.
Having dictatorships which would give reason for a civil war and would make politics significantly more enjoyable in the ensuing struggle!
Also the ability to form trading blocs/free trade, so eliminating import taxes between nations, similar in nature to coalitions, this could improve trade between nations and lead to cheaper goods which could be of benefit to citizens, although it is fairly easy to get around import taxes it can still be a pain. Being able to restrict the number of foreign citizens entering a nation could also be another change, although this could be tough to enforce/ impact upon battles immigration could be controlled in relation to jobs, however personally I am against such a change as it would be hard to implement well.
In conclusion I believe that there is a lot of potential available to admin to develop the politics sphere to make it a truly engaging and entertaining aspect of E-Sim, which has a heavy impact upon the fate of nations more so than it currently does.
My main points are as follows.
- Allow different types of government, this is true to real life and will add variety.
- Create nations constitutions which will have in game impacts such as length of elections etc.
- Allow dictatorships/ non democratic methods of governance as a means to provoke civil war making that module more useful.
- Ability to do trade agreements between nations such as implementing free trade/ trading blocs etc.
- Potential for immigration/ e-c-o-n-o-m-y restrictions on foreigners (although I don’t think that should be implemented, I am just floating it as a idea).
If I come up with more ideas I may edit to add them into this or create new articles, thanks to any and everyone who takes the time to read this article and hopefully some change will ensue! (although knowing this game in around there years if ever….)

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.
