Music to consider.
My fellow Americans, my brothers, sisters...my blood. My people. Our time to shine has come, as we steadily grow stronger. There's been plenty of action of late, and people have been asking plenty of questions about how easy the return of East Coast and Gulf of Mexico have been. There's been plenty of speculation, and lots of rumors, and those of you who are IRC active have already known the truth for quite some time.
Are we really winning these battles on our own? Well, yes...and no. They've being given back to us by Russia, with orders not to fight us to their MUs. They have much bigger fish to fry, due to their war with Poland, and are being generous enough to return East Coast, Western USA and the Gulf of Mexico. These battles, however, are proving to be a great median to deduce what exactly we're capable of. We've been steadily climbing up the damage ranks over the last couple of days, and we have nowhere to go but up!
Now, that being said, are we getting back Alaska and Pacific? No. We're not, not yet, but compensation is being offered in a rental agreement.
Frankly, I was surprised at their readiness to talk peace in this magnitude, because even though
Custo was always friendly in negotiations, he was still firm about honoring the NAP that 
temote signed, worked on by 
craddle .
With the agreement being made, it opens doors between us and Russia that may not have been open previously, due to trust issues caused by
irusik and 
Cheshire Cat . While they're still in our country, they genuinely seem to want to work on better relations between us. Offering compensation for their presence is a solid first step towards restoring normal relations between our two countries. I think this should be viewed as a victory by our diplomatic teams, as well as our open minded resident brony, 
Lilith of Apollyon , whose actions may well have impacted the situation into more serious negotiations. Are they up to bro status? Not yet. Not on either side yet, but it does seem possible to recover damages caused by bad trolling and mutual hostilities.
What this could lead to in the future, though, is solely up to us. Time is on our side. Time gives us the ability to grow, prosper, train and rank up. We have the potential to show real power, and people are beginning to take notice. Will this solve all our problems? No, but it does give us the ability to focus on more domestic rebuilding, as well as solidifying relations with our neighbors. This is extremely important, both to our long term survival and security.
Our time to stand up and be recognized is coming, and soon, considering how much we've grown.
First off, I'd like to give shouts out to Army , Phoenix , US Marines , and lastly, but not least, Top Gun .
I salute all of you for your readiness to do battle on your country's behalf. Even though these wars aren't for real, you still proved what you were capable of. That will matter when we're in the thick of it for real.
I'd also like to thank our resident DoD and DoI representatives,
Shylock , 
Snowball the Dinosaur , 
Wreckbeard , and many others who donated their time and products to feed and equip our little American zerglings.
When the time comes, I know America will be able to count on you all.
There was recently quite a bit of fuss over an unapproved MPP being sent into congress and passed, without discussion or the slightest hint of seeking executive approval. I found it disappointing, guys. Those of you who voted "no," did the appropriate thing. Items like MPPs are to be discussed and inquired about, always, considering that they represent a view of our foreign policies.
I mean no disrespect to Iran, and I understand and am sympathetic to your cause, in seeking allies in your war, but considering that we have never had contact previously before the occurence of this battle, I cannot, in good conscience, choose a side in your war.
I wish you the best of luck.
As for any other countries inquiring about relations with America, all you have to do is establish contact. I make no promises, but sending representatives will go a long way towards normalizing relations.
The coming days will continue to be challenging, as we start to spread our wings, but I have faith in you, my people, that you'll continue to grow strong. There is nowhere to go but up.
Signing off.

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.
