CITIZEN DISTRIBUTION
UNICO: 4,434 = 19.36%
OMEGA: 6,501 = 28.39%
ACE: 1,305 = 5.70%
NEXUS: 1,191 = 5.20%
AGC: 5,842 = 25.51%
UNAFFILIATED: 3,629 = 15.85%
The main movers and shakers here was the fact that the Presidents of Lithuania, Bulgaria and the Republic of Macedonia have advised me that they are no longer in any alliance. Technically, Lithuania is in "forever alone" alliance, however, I just categorized them as unaffiliated. This does put Europe into a very interesting scenario. Lithuania, Bulgaria, and the Republic of Macedonia really dominated esim as members of Alpha, but it seems that the remnants of this alliance, ACE, is slowly crumbling. That being said, it will be interesting to see if any of the alliances attempt to contact these powerhouse nations about joining their alliances. I must say though from a nation perspective, Norway had a huge boost in citizenship this week increasing their numbers by nearly 100%.
Also, in breaking news Brazil and Argentina have joined AGC. This is an interesting move as AGC is now challenging for the top spot in the citizen distribution.
TOTAL DAMAGE DISTRIBUTION
UNICO: 42,833,846,223 = 22.84%
OMEGA: 39,271,528,455 = 20.94%
ACE: 9,819,245,553 = 5.23%
NEXUS: 9,328,382,581 = 4.97%
AGC: 43,781,393,201 = 23.34%
UNAFFILIATED: 42,544,369,611 = 22.68%
With the changes of countries, obviously ACE took an enormous hit in this category, and with the new additions to AGC, they are now the leading alliance in this category. Obviously the unaffiliated nations have been given an enormous boost and honestly can change the tides in any battle if they wish! From a nation point of view, despite the usual suspects, the biggest improver individually was Pakistan.
TOTAL EXPERIENCE DISTRIBUTION
UNICO: 19,472,634 = 21.91%
OMEGA: 21,135,625 = 23.78%
ACE: 5,120,274 = 5.76%
NEXUS: 4,706,039 = 5.29%
AGC: 21,036,732 = 23.67%
UNAFFILIATED: 17,409,023 = 19.59%
No doubt we are going to see these trends continue in every category, but all in all, every alliance has remained steady in the distribution of Experience worldwide, but obviously the closest battle is between AGC and Omega, with only 0.11% separating the two alliances.
TOTAL STRENGTH DISTRIBUTION
UNICO: 3,736,536 = 20.68%
OMEGA: 4,770,769 = 26.41%
ACE: 1,049,507 = 5.81%
NEXUS: 994,217 = 5.50%
AGC: 4,414,156 = 24.43%
UNAFFILIATED: 3,099,842 = 17.16%
As everyone might know, I am very fond of this category! Strength peaks and increases usually occur due to baby booms. Lets face it though, no alliance has really made big moves here.
TOTAL PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION
UNICO: 759,700 = 23.43%
OMEGA: 1,614,278 = 49.79%
ACE: 26,161 = 0.81%
NEXUS: 120,463 = 3.72%
AGC: 584,085 = 18.01%
UNAFFILIATED: 137,581 = 4.24%
All pretty stead here in this category, but probably the most progressive alliance in terms of productivity is AGC with a 3% increase. Interestingly, the movement of Lithuania and the Republic of Macedonia has resulted in them gaining abit of productivity. The biggest loser this week was India, who really got crunched and have lost a huge chunk of their economy. Probably stating the obvious here, but productivity is directly related to the amount of companies in your own territories. Obviously if you have no territories, you have 0 production. Lets see if Brazil's inclusion into AGC results in some of their land being handed back over. Only time will tell.

Ouzo's final thought
I really like the current situation in esim. The alliance changes have really turned the game on its head, and I think from a players perspective, it is so much more interesting. Without a doubt, the decision for Lithuania and the Republic of Macedonia to go off on their own can really alter the entire makeup of the esim world. Why? Because these unaffiliated nations can really provide the knockout punch and help swing alot of battles in particular nations favour. Here is what I don't understand. If the members of these nations worked together, I think that they can be in such a great position. For instance, I was watching
Speedy the other day (because I saw him take 3 BH medals in a matter of minutes - and he stole 2 from me 
) , and I can't help but think, imagine if these BH hunters actually fought for 'something', 'someone' to help the position of their nation from a world stand point. Look, of course I'm jealous of the ridiculous amount of damage that Speedy can produce, but imagine if all that was done to help Macedonia gain back territories which will ultimately boost nationalistic morale!
Finally, Unico and Omega got some flack last article about essentially being TM. Well, true, some can say that, but I think that the fundamental issue here is diplomacy. Unico and Omega nations have maintained good relations without stepping on each others toes. There is a very fine line, and as soon as that is crossed, you can bet there are going to be fireworks. For instance, USA, which in my opinion was the ballsiest decision in quite sometime obviously offended Ukraine (probably for their alliance with Russia) and Slovenia (probably their alliance with Italy), but whatever the effects, one thing that is sure is that esim is probably the most exciting that the game has been for some time!

OwenHargreaves . Some pretty sweet ideas, which Im sure would level out the game a fraction more.

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.
