The Undead, or Zombies, are very important creatures in the eSim world. All creatures can become zombies. The chance of becoming one is unpredictable. First stage Zombies are grey in color and can be either male or female. They have no hearts, no known life systems, and are very hard to kill. They are, however, capable of (feelings/) emotions. Zombies are reborn without their previous life (or multiple lives) memories so they often go searching for them. None have ever found more than a few small (mostly unimportant) details. Zombies have a central city, Ustwoll, to where most zombies eventually make their way. Ustwoll is located near the South-Eastern coast of the continent Sarba.
The Zombies’ city of Ustwoll was established in the year 1258 with a population of 30 million(30,000,000) Zombies. The city was built within two years and was fortified against attackers. They needed a stronghold because at that time the Zombies were overly disliked and had many species attacking them. The Vampires had fought with them, as well as the Elves. Building the city didn’t bring an end to those attacks, in fact the Zombies have battled in almost every decade since establishing their city, remarkably the population has continued to rise! Since the year 4130 they have had some conflicts but no wars. They are still considered enemies of the Elves, who have hated them ever since they settled nearby the elf city of Glast.
In the year 2638 they founded a small settlement which they named Zinick. It is located to the west of the Mountains of Givoa on the continent of Canol. The Zombies founded it because they had reached a population of 70 million(70,000,000). Ustwoll and its border cities were getting too crowded. The city was built, strongly fortified, and eventually turned into one big fortress with over 30 million(30,000,000) zombies currently living inside its walls.
Zombies are very hard to kill, the only way to definitely stop them is to tear them to shreds. The current population is approximately 120 million(120,000,000) Zombies and ReZombies, and they are found all around the world. ReZombies are zombies that have died and come back to life again. A being can be ReZombied multiple times. With each stage they reach, ReZombies become even harder to kill. Nevertheless, they don’t remember anything about their past lives, even as Zombies.
The Zombies and ReZombies are all part of the same species of Undead. Zombies try to be peaceful, however, many neighboring cities have waged wars against them in the past, due to their beliefs that dead people should remain dead, amongst other reasons. However, one race of note that do not get along with Zombies are the Elves. They had a battle in the year 1853 in which many elves died. Over 25% of the elf population were killed in that war. The death total is unknown. It was the battle of Ustwoll for the Zombie’s city. The Elves wanted the Zombies to relocate to Mount Humm. Their plan met with total failure and the Elves were forced to retreat. Seven (7) years later in the year 1860 the elves attacked again and tried once more to kick the Zombies out of Ustwoll. The Elves were completely outnumbered and didn’t stand a chance against the Zombies.
Once a Zombie reaches Ustwoll he is thereafter able to live a life anywhere in the eSim. The idea of Zombies being stupid is crazy. They can be extremely intelligent creatures. Zombies and ReZombies are normally smarter than they were in their previous life, atleast thats what people say. Some people believe that if you didn’t accomplish what your goal in life was you become a zombie to complete it.
Zombies are abnormally tall and have a language all of there own, however they find it impossible to teach it to creatures who aren’t Zombies. The language is much different than other languages and Zombies use it to communicate over long distances. The language is called Zaneth. It is mainly a mind-to-mind communication with a little bit of verbal communication. They have the ability to think in groups with their minds as well. This communication allows the Zombies to lead “wondering” Zombies to Ustwoll.
The ReZombie system can become very confusing, very quickly and even more confusing when you add the color system. Zombies can be rezombified in theory an unlimited amount of times. The most it has ever happened in recorded history is 14 times. Zombies can only reproduce If they are both at the same stage of Zombism, (e.g. A 3rd stage ReZombie can only have a child with another 3rd stage ReZombie). Zombies don’t have many children, and their children are always the same stage of Zombism as their parents. For this reason, each successive Zombie stage has fewer members.
The color system occurs when Zombies are ReZombied into a different strage. Stage 1 (Zombie) is Ash Grey. Stage 2 is Cal Poly Green with Stage 3 being Navy Blue. Stage 4, 5, 6, and 7 are Vermilion (cinnabar), Brass, Sea Blue, and Atomic Tangerine respectively. Stages 8-14 appear in the following order Viridian, Black, Vivid Cerise, Sky Magenta, Floral White, Olive Green, and Field Drab. The colors after these stages aren’t known as the most advanced recorded ReZombie stage is 14.
Zombies are unqiue and special to the eSim world. They are a massive society and have several famous quotes, the most famous is, “Life is for the innocent. Death is for the wise. Life is never pleasant. Death never lies.” ~Anonymous

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.
