Article
It's been quite awhile since my last article, so you'll have to pardon me if I bypass some of the cordial niceties.
It's certainly been an interesting month for me, considering where we started and where we'll end it. I certainly wouldn't have said that we'd be sitting as prettily as we are, with a high region to boot. Certainly, there were plans in the works towards this end, but even the best laid ones have the potential to go awry, in the heat of the moment.
I'd like to congratulate my staff on going above and beyond their duties, filling in where needed, and even the new faces in cabinet, doing so well in their jobs. It's a pity some of the more promising ones chose to leave us, such as
Tycomedes , and 
Malcolm Pickering , but the nature of this game is such that we are forced to continue grinding forward regardless of who falls on the way.
I'd also like to salute
Dr Loony for all his hard work in the Department of the Interior, as well as 
Wreckbeard , who worked hard first in the DoI, then as Secretary of State. It's a real shame to lose both of these guys to 2-clickerdom due to real life.
I also salute
Snowball the Dinosaur , 
8675309 , and 
Cerby for their dedication and effort to both Army, West point and the DoD.
More importantly, I certainly salute each and every citizen still playing and choosing to actively involve themselves with our country. It is through your efforts and endeavors that we will prevail in our goals. Keep growing, keep training, keep improving. Your strength is our strength.
In case some of you were wondering, or happened to miss it in my original campaign article, I'm going to repeat myself for the record, once more.
I am not choosing to run for President of these United States again. Should my services be needed in the future, the timing right and my schedule in real life less full, I may consider one last hurrah, but as of this time, I'm choosing to step down after the completion of this term. It's been a long two and a half months, and I can only hope that my efforts, and those of my staff, who have shared my vision of a strong, united country, a new American empire, built on the ashes of the old, corrupt and bloated one we had previously, have helped the country to become all we can be.
If there's one thing I want to be remembered for, it's to be known as the rebuilder. Every moment I've spent in this game has been to make our country stronger, organized, and better equipped and able to compete with the top nations in this game. That road may be far from over, but my journey on that path for the time being, is over.
It is my fervent hope and desire, that the next president will take all the tools I've left him or her, to complete the great work we've embarked upon.
I've set the stage for success, but it'll be up to you, presidential hopefuls, to best utilize all the tools and weapons I've left for you to do battle with, both on the military side of things, as well as the battle of diplomatic wills.
I will still be around to advise as needed, but my next goals are more mundane. Focus on forging my own business empire, and improving the MU I associate with, Band of Brothers.
You have what you need, citizens. Use them and forge your own futures.
I salute you.
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.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
