Once upon a time, the USA was completely ran by iNCi. For those of you who joined us from eRep, I'm sure you know that merry band of trolls, probably shaking your heads in consternation, but hey, the game was a LOT smaller then, and our population was too.
So, what am I writing this article about? Party history in relation to the current political structure.
When I joined, there was one party, iNCi, leaving the country ran pretty much by
God . While he did do some good for the country, he was also hired mercenaries to achieve it, instead of homegrowing talent domestically, which was a mistake, in my opinion.
There were also allegations of misappropriation of funds, some laid against him by
Goddrick . He was our first president and pretty much did what he wanted to do.
Politics went on this way for quite some time and when I signed up, iNCi was still the only party. When the Russian invasion came, though, iNCi began to leave in droves for Turkey, leaving people with the opportunity to begin splintering off. The first to do so was Cruciator, who formed the TRUST party. There really wasn't much differentiation between it and iNCi, but seemed like a better fit for a lot of citizens.
The original announcement can be found here. An interesting update was filed here , as you can see, there's still a lot of hostility towards the Russians at this time.
iNCi's PPs continued shooting themselves in the foot and more people began to join TRUST, and I even ran for Party President of it, losing to
logomaster304 , who rebirthed it as the Feds.
I'm not sure how many people know or realize this, but the NAF wasn't a juggernaut meant to dominate the US politic spectrum. Its original goal was to funnel pro-Russian Americans into congress to accept Russians into the country. Back then, it was called the NAR, or the New American Republic. The party itself was founded by
Brotherhood Sniper , a prominent citizen up until he decided to stab us in the back and join Russia. With that event, the party itself began to die slowly, sliding into inactivity. The initial articles can be read here, and here.
I believe the NAR had declined to under 20 members when I made my move from the Feds over to the NAR with a tightknit group of friends. My purpose in doing so, was because iNCi really didn't have American best interests in mind, and the Feds were pretty stale and inactive. So I did what I had to, running for PP in the NAR, hoping to rebrand it as New America First. You can read my original article here, here, and here .
At that time, I believed that due to lack of organization, lack of government and an inactive president would lead to America's major decline to a crep or ejahan style existence. So, naturally, as any other American would do, I did something about it.
We pushed for members in IRC, the forums, wrote articles publicizing the party, mass messaged, and quickly outgrew the other parties, mainly due to inactive PPs.
What the NAF stood for when I repurposed it was simple. Quality players needed a quality home base from which to be able to directly assist in rebuilding and refounding the government. The other parties strictly weren't providing this, which was both disappointing and disheartening.
The NAF was never intended to be a juggernaut representing stand in line elitists. It was supposed to be the platform for any active, capable and willing players to get their voices heard. The other trappings are simply just roleplay, just like the Ponies.
Interestingly enough, they deflated to the point where they were acquired by
Commando , who redubbed them the House Party. Fun name and premise, but unfortunately, it failed to live up to the original article he wrote rebranding it.
It can be read here. After it began to die down again,
logomaster304 acquired it, dubbing them the Libs, later taken over by 
DannyCrowley . Why that name was chosen, I'm unsure of, particularly, considering the eRep connotation, and unfortunately, still a clear lack of direction.
The point in writing this history is to better inform you, the citizens, as to the origins of each of the major parties, and hopefully to assist you in picking one better.
May your paths to success be short and fulfilling.

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.
