Today is a day for rejoicing, as our lands are being freed and our economy has already begun to boom. Wages are up, profits are actually profitable and all around America there is a sense of pride.
I too am pleased and I hope that my actions have spurred this outcome in some way.
And, while I don't wish to be a wet blanket and disrupt everyone wooping it up... I'm afraid I need to, at least a little bit.
As much as we put up great numbers and fought with passion and patriotism in our hearts, to me it is pretty clear Russia let us have it. I got word yesterday from an
American_insurgent who happened across some Russian newspapers and was able to translate them well enough to see the Russian army was being ordered to stand down.
In truth, in the previous RW I had started, Russia dealt 15 Million damage while fighting in three or four other regions. Do not mistake it, my fellow Equestrians, Russia could easily roll over and crush us any time it wished to. The reason they do not is that we have grown too large and thorny for them to rest comfortably on.
I wrote a letter to Russia a few days ago and I suspect something along the lines of what I suggested may be in the works and is simply now, for whatever reason, not being explicitly stated.
The Russians are not idiots, it is most likely they have seen America's explosive growth over the past couple weeks, looked down the road and decided it was in their best interest to back way off and call us friends. This is a phenomenally good thing for America, because Russia is really a powerhouse and one we'd to well to be on the good side of.
I write this because I fear our national pride and joy may boil over into an 'IN YOUR FACE, RUSSIA!' sort of attitude that could serve to sour the Russian people's impression of us.
I realize we were occupied and were treated pretty unfairly but, if you are honest with yourself, I think you will realize that if we had been in their position and could have snatched the candy from another weak and disorganized country, we would have.
Do not be resentful. Russia was just looking out for Russia and that's what Russia should be doing. Russia is still looking out for Russia and that's just how things work. Though it may be nothing but a convenient arrangement for both of us, I would be glad to see by-gones being by-gones and look ahead to the bright future I see for these United States.

EDITORIAL:
Yesterday, I'd published an article to encourage my fellow Americans in their rally.
Some nasty, little troll, who thinks a Nazi avatar makes him a tough guy (NOPE.jpg) reported it. A polish SGO deleted it for 'Flaming' and said nasty, little troll sent me a message gloating about how he'd gotten my article deleted and used the language barrier to his advantage and convinced him Ponies are a form of Flame.
I don't want to get real caught up on that, I'm pretty sure the SGO was just a bit turned around by a certain lack of fluency in the English language and, while I was livid at the time, I don't fault him a bit. It's an international game and only so many mods around. These things happen.
But, I what I wanted to tell you all is this;
I talked to Smack, who's a GO and hangs out in the US channel. He couldn't do anything about it, being lower than an SGO, but he directed me to a fellow by the name of
Miniteck . I messaged him and he said hello and linked the deleted article and I began explaining the situation as best I could. I was getting a little nervous, because he wasn't really saying anything and I was still a bit worked up from earlier. So, I just kept explaining until he said, 'Done 
'
I almost thought he was indicating he was done listening to me, because I've never seen a staffer on any game respond so promptly and with such little fuss. Usually, it seems even bringing up a staff mistake, regardless of how obvious and trivial, seems to put staffers on the instant defensive while they start probing and trying to figure out how you're lying to them and what you're trying to pull. You cannot imagine my delight and shock to see my article restored to its original state.
I'm very glad that not only is this game awesome; those who run it are equally awesome.
A special thanks to everyone on the e-Sim staff for making this game happen and making it such a great player experince.
p.s.
I heard a fore mentioned nasty, little troll whining about getting warned for his avatar.
Chalk one up for Love and Tollerance!

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.
