Capitalism:
Capitalism is when all is about how much money you have, and not who you are.
Capitalism is not all bad, it can actually be good sometimes, one of the good things that capitalism has provided us with is the free marked, you can sell your wares at any price you wish, it is your decsision. But capitalism also have a dark side (at least if you ask me). One of the bad things can be that people focus too much on earning money and too little on their fellow humans, capitalism often has a isolating effect, societies affected by capitalism is often ending up being some kind of anti-social, often neightbours does not even know each other, and my personal opinion is that, that is wrong, because how can you have a neightbour, a person who lives right next to you, and you don't even know who he/she/they is? Capitalism gives us this problem, capitalism makes us more "untouchable", we think more of our self than anyone else, and that means that some people are left behind. Capitalisms best weapon is also to set us up against each other, brother at brother, friend at friend, countryman at countryman.
Capitalism also tries to convince us by telling us "If you do like this, you earn a lot more money yourself, and then you will be richer, and if you don't share your wealth, you can be richer while the other get poorer, and then you will have cheap labour!" and when everybody thinks this, everybody will end up competiting with each other, don't get me wrong, a little competition can be good, but too much competition can also break people apart, and that is bad, and that is why I am saying: Hi, I am Maddog, who are you?
- Maddog, Maybe a socialist, but also a humanist.

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.
