Country structure
I propose the following country structure that I believe is the most fair and balanced.
I would like to see Congress as the most powerful institution of our country and not the President. For this to work we will need a clear law that states that no president or minister of the government can be in congress at the same time.
The President and his minister will be the only ones to make proposals and laws which they will have to present to Congress. Congress is the final authority to pass or reject laws and proposals. Congress on itself can not make proposals and laws.
Military
The Minister of Defense is also the Nederlandse Krijgsmacht Commander..
After the initial government funding for the state companies the government will have to designate a budget for the army. I would suggest at least 50% of the national income. (Army and battles is the most important aspect of this game) This budget would be used to pay salaries, upgrades and Defense Buildings. (ingame placement of Defense Buildings needs ingame Congress approval so Congress will have the final say in that.)
Strikes
Everyone can Join the Nederlandse Krijgsmacht and prove him/herself to be an active, IRC user by partaking in strikes. Strikes are organized events where supplies are handed out to do damage in the last minutes of a battle.
Another important thing, Private Dutch MUs as well as Dutch citizens will be able to join strikes as well.
Supplies
By default we would not give out daily supplies. Supplies would only be given during strikes to those who are online and want to partake.
This means supplies go to Army soldiers, Private Dutch MU soldiers and general citizens! Because we are all Dutch citizens fighting for the same country and paying the same taxes. We all have a right to government supplies. Equality people.
Defense budget and income generation
I propose that we create state companies that offer decent salaries. Some of the products produced will be sold with profit to match the salary spending. The rest will be stocked up to be handed out at strikes.
Why this setup?
It will be impossible to supply everyone with supplies… I think this system represents a fair system for everyone that stimulates and rewards activity. Everyone is treated equally.
Pros:
- Fair equal opportunities
- No economic damage
- Activity is rewarded
- All Dutch citizens benefit
- Optional to work for state companies
Why the current Military system is wrong
In the current system we have government companies but only army soldiers can work there. Furthermore, only those soldiers that work for the government companies get supplies… To me this is unfair to everyone not working for the government and indirectly forces soldiers and people to work for the government. ( I always believed that you shouldn’t work for the government but that the government works for you!)
Plus this system, which is purely funded by tax NLG only benefits a very small and specific group of people in our country. (those that work for the government)
Footnote:
Of course there is lots of details to work out but this is how it generally would look like. Also, 50% budget of nothing is still nothing... These estimates are made on the assumption that we hold all our native regions.

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.
