Greetings to all the citizens of sUSA and other readers from abroad!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Beginnings of Brotherhood
Band of Brothers (BoB) was started off with
Leroy Combs and 
Abroham Lincoln leading the way. They donated tirelessly in hopes of finally having an ELITE MU in the US, and as each additional member came, they followed in the same footsteps. We postponed supplies, and donated most of our gold and wages to the MU, and quickly the dream of becoming the first sUS ELITE MU became a reality.
Here we are now, and not only have we achieved our goal of becoming ELITE, but we also have established our communes and can supply our soldiers with 10 Q4 food and 30 Q1 weapons (in the future we hope to even better our supplies). BoB is currently one of the highest, if not THE highest, MU in damage/member output in the sUS.
From experienced players to new ones, from "rich" players to "not-so-rich" ones, we all came together and put in the effort to achieve our goals. Truly strength is achieved through brotherhood
If you are interested in joining Band of Brothers, please read Abroham's article to get more info.

Brotherhood: A Call to Arms
Though I am a proud member of BoB, my intent by writing this article was not to brag about my MU. My motive was to help encourage other MUs to grow and prosper like we have been doing.
I urge all Americans to join an American MU. The benefits of joining is tenfold and I'll list a couple of reasons below to help you get a better picture:
- Increased % damage dealt ( the higher level your MU is, the higher the % will be)
- Some MUs offer daily supplies (through communes or otherwise)
- You will rank up faster
- Possibilities of attaining positions, further spreading your name around
- You will be putting damage where needed by following the set MU orders (every damage counts!)
- You are introduced to a new community, and have opportunities to get to know other citizens of the sUS
Now these benefits come at a price. In order for a MU to be efficient and grow, it needs support from it's members. I encourage ALL of you to help support/donate to the MUs you are a part of. This will not only help yourself, but also the people around you and the country as a whole.
To all MU leaders! Help America grow stronger by encouraging cooperation and brotherhood between all the MUs. As the Secretary of Defense
Jude Connors stated in his article :
The USA is growing, as evidenced by looking at the battle results of the various targets we have been hitting. If we could combine the forces of each of our MUs, we would be even stronger.
--Jude Connors, SoD
This is the intent of the formation of CENTCOM, so let's all take advantage of this opportunity. MU leaders should encourage members to:
- Follow MU orders
- Subscribe to important newspapers (DoD Orders, President's Paper, MU Paper, etc)
- Get access to and idle in #centcom in IRC
- Encourage members to donate
- Above all, get to know one another from all the MUs (after all this is a community game
)
Recommended Papers:
White House Press Release
Department of Defense
The Jagged Edge (President's Paper)
Common Cents (A Daily Summary of sUS)
Finally a word from our very own President
Liquid HOMICIDE :
It's an imperative function of any effective armed force, and in order to be taken seriously in the future, we'll need all hands on deck, and all strong soldiers getting more actively involved.
-- Liquid Homicide, sUS President

The Truth
It's probably safe to say that we all have pride in the MUs we are members of, and it doesn't hurt to have friendly competition. Competing for the number 1 spot of the US will only help encourage other MUs to grow and follow by example. Sometimes though we might take it too far and talk down others, or criticize/flame other MUs.
The simple truth is though, we must remember we are ALL first and foremost citizens of the sUS.
No matter what MU we are from, we ALL work and strive for the safety and well being of America and its citizens! We must cooperate and unite towards the common good of our country, and only then will be able to show that the sUS is not something to be taken lightly, but rather, a force to be reckoned with.
I'd like to end this issue with the following quote that
Niittimies had shared with me the other day:
The only true solution of our political and social problems lies in cultivating everywhere the spirit of brotherhood, of fellow feeling and understanding between man and man, and the willingness to treat a man as a man.
-- Theodore Roosevelt

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.
