We fought like lions for that last part of Belgium.
First of all, we're still divided. The most important reason at the moment is that France is renting Vlaanderen for almost nothing. The people that don't see that this is the main reason are probably blind.
People are getting doubts about our alliance with France too and a more extreme group is forming itself.
I wish
Valen best of luck with the negotiations and hope he will be able to get something good out of it.
At a certain moment it was so bad that in the RW of Vlaanderen, Belgians fought for Belgium and some fought against Belgium.
Now I would like to adress this part of the article to France.
We have been allies in the first and second World War.
In World War 1 the Germans were gaining terrain very rapidly and in a matter of days, Belgium almost fell.
But with the courageous acts of two Belgians: Karel Cogge and Hendrik Geeraert, the German army was put to a stop. They flooded the Yser and that was the reason the first World War became a trench war. Otherwise, France would've been overrun like in WW2.
But that's not all of it. We stood our ground there in Flanders Field, in what is now called, the Trench of Death. Barely 45m away from the German front the Belgian army had their trenches, even our king Albert I and his wife helped. At most other trenches the distance between the two armies was between 500 and 1500 meters apart. But we stood there closest to the enemy and we fought like lions for that last part of Belgium. And if Belgium ever comes in that same position again, we will be there again, fighting like lions all over again, till we win or till no Belgian is left...
(made it myself
)
So don't tell us you've protected us in World War 1, because we saved your asses there.
Next time will be about the sportive side of our beloved Belgium. And don't forget: United we stand, divided we fall...

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.
