To most of you, this might seem pretty sudden but that's kind of the nature of geopolitics. I'm just not able to communicate these kind of things until a decision has been made; most of you know this but some don't.
I was pretty torn about this decision and sought as much input from congress as I could, given the urgency of delivering an answer. In the end, a slim majority of those opinions agreed with my instinct and that is about as certian as I could hope to get in a matter that people seem so deeply divided about.
The United States had invitations from both Evolution and NWD and both had their own merrits.
Evolution would probably have been the safer pick and, in all honesty, if it were only my own interests that I was considering, I would have picked them. It would simply require less effort out of me and would not have costed me the talents of one of my most trusted advisers,
★ I K E A .
However, what I cannot ignore is that we share strategic interests with various members of NWD and have maintained a close relationship with them over the years. The fights I believe America want to fight lie nearer to us and taking the position of Supreme Commander allows us greater influence over our interests than we would have in Evolution.
In Evolution, we would have three options, which are really more like two options. First, we could take an aggressive stance with our neighbors and forcibly maintain our sphere of influence. Second, we could have hedged and attempted not to antagonize our friends while engaging with their allies. However, this is only different in the short-term and ends up becoming the first option. Third, we could do nothing and float our damage exclusively towards distant conflicts that do not concern us, while our neighbors got picked away and we get used to new neighbors.
I don't care for any of those choices and, in my opinion, those who are opposed to NWD are opposed more out of personal distaste than genuine concern and that cannot be my priority.
There is quite a lot of animosity among some for NWD and, indeed, among much of the world. NWD has become notorious for being too big for it's britches and, I suspect this will come back around quite soon to haunt us. However, in my opinion, this problem was with NWD's previous leadership and I do not believe we should paint the members of NWD with too wide a brush. Those who we have fought beside before still prefer to fight beside us, regardless of what decisions are or had been made at the top.
I hope to guide NWD in a new direction. This may be painful and it may take time, but I believe it is the best thing for both NWD and the United States. Though it leaves me with the loathsome task of leading a coalition, I prefer to be where we are needed and beloved rather than where it is comfortable.
I don't know what Congress will do, I've done my best to keep them in the loop but these discussions, for reasons that should be obvious, are ones that take place behind closed doors.
Love,

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.
