The MPP with Portugal - With Alpha falling, I believe that Portugal didn't want to go down with the ship, huge nations known for giving destructive damage were being taken over completely, and there was really nothing anyone could do about it, as the powerhouse Poland was against them, along with an array of other countries (America being one). So, after understanding that as their alliance collapsed, and that they would be the next target, Portugal seemed to want to get out of that, and the MPP was their way of doing so.
Ex-President Khaled Ibrahim's exit from America] - Khaled, who I believe is a great, motivational man in the world of E-Sim, has left our great nation in a search of moral well-being, choosing to go to Spain because of their brotherhood to the US, and due to their inability to share an HQ with Poland, due to the Polish and Spanish hatred of each other. Khaled believes that our inclusion in Sigma is not good for the game, and that the Spanish stick by their brothers, and he could have no part in a country like America, who's only hope is to be powerful, and control as much as we can.
The same traits that plague business men and fat cat's on wall street in the real world fall over us, and reading his article under the Spanish flag really affects me, he was the reason I thought to do this newspaper in the first place, he recieved two of my votes for president, and had he run for any position he was always the man I voted for. Though I have decided not to follow you to Spain due to my current obligations and friends in America, if things continue to go this way I would follow you.
The war with Brasil - Sigma has went to war with Brasil, now with Portugal behind us, they are all but finished. Mexico has been liberated, and at the time of writing this Brasil has two pieces of land left, and in under an hour only one. Though Portugal was such a huge part of Alpha, they are taking down Brasil, and in that effect they are really stabbing a knife into the back of Brasil, I myself believe Mexico deserved liberation, and I was an advocate for it, but to systematically destroy an entire nation, and then proceed to sell them back its land is nothing but greed for the welfare of your own nation and alliance.
I think that countries that constantly go to war with nations do deserve this, ones that occupy countries for their benefit do need a wake up call, but at this point Alpha is like an old villian, a crippled shell of what they used to be, and Sigma has done nothing more than show they don't care about other countries playing the game, all they want is money, and world domination, anyone who disagrees with us will be dealt with swiftly and violently, anyone who hurt us in the past will be destroyed, as many of you say, "HAIL SIGMA." I don't support this lack of compassion for these fallen countries, we need to learn to forgive and forget, and when the time arises that they strike back, if ever, maybe they will remember that tinge of mercy, or maybe they won't... But we will be the bigger man morally, now we're nothing but an imperialistic, greedy society, that won't learn from the past, but just be a gluttonous beast that can never have its appetite for revenge sated.
This was a Dose of Shav, a look into my thoughts on major events in America, and the world for this week. Every week on Thursday I will post this, it is opinionated news I will grant you, but it's an opinion I would like to share with you guys, and like me or not - I love a debate when I have the time for it, so if you all would like to take me up on that, it would mean the world to me for you all to engage in that.
If you enjoyed the read, Vote/Sub - I do this weekly
If you would like to talk to me about my views, or I have mis-quoted, or mis-reported on anything, mail me or comment to me about it.
Thanks

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.
