Let me first give a general outline of my positions. A more details analysis will be released in the coming days. I have spent the last four months playing this game and have many ideas I wish to implement. Let's start with the basics:
Community- Building a stronger, more active population base. Focus on retention of new citizens and building more fun.
Economy- Investing in Irish businesses, maintaining currency policies, free trade, wide base of infrastructure.
Foreign Affairs- Increasing relations with neighbor states, maintaining MPP's, developing an international community
Military- Consistent, reliable battle orders, sniper team-style fighting, increasing infrastructure.
COMMUNITY
Ireland will never be a large nation in terms of population (barring huge RL money investment). Since Ireland will not be massive we must must rely of greater development of community. A small nation can easily fracture over issues that would go unnoticed in larger lands. Ireland most be a tight-knit unit that works together. Part of this team-building focus must be the creation of a thriving community. This is our selling point. As President this will be one of my main focuses as I think it has been neglected for awhile.
The Three Keys: In my belief there are three things that every citizen needs in order to be active in this game long-term. 1. A friend, 2. An Assignment and 3. A Fraternity
A Friend: This one is simple. Congressmen and other citizens will always be mindful when new citizens join the game. My hope is that the new cit gets PM'ed by several people on his/her first day and gets many friend invites. As the citizen responds to those initial PM/Friend requests then the to-be-instated Minister of Community will be made aware of the citizens activity. This will happen within the citizens first 48 hours after joining if possible. The MoC will then assign a Congressman or other member of the community to mentor/friend the new citizen. The assigned mentor will help the new citizen to get to the forums and learn in-game concepts. We will setup incentives for reaching certain goals that each new citizen will meet.
An Assignment Citizens who show good activity by registering on the forums and gaining friends will be given an assignment within the game. These assignments will depend on the skills and ability of the citizen. Some citizens will watch international news articles, some will gather information and some will be given assignments to read wiki articles/new player guides. players with language skills will be given ambassadorial assignments. All in all new citizens will be active learning more about the game and making a contribution, however small.
A Fraternity No, this does not mean keggers and toga parties. We are talking about fellowship here. It comes in two parts. 1.Citizens need to join military units. We may not have enough Gold to get them into the actual MU but the will be a part of the team. The can work for MU companies, get supplies and be issued battle orders. They will learn to fight as a team. 2. Citizens need to join a political party. While I am not sure there is much difference in the actual political leanings of the two main parties it is important that each citizens gets invited and thanked for joining a political party. This will become a standard procedural duty for our political parties.
As President I will add more games, competitions and entertainment to our local news articles and our forum. I will institute a National Lotto, an Irish Poker League and Fight Night competitions. This is going to be a fun term if I am elected.

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.
