LordRahl2 ’s administration. Thirdly, I will make an announcement regarding my future in the Congress of eUSA.
First, on Christmas Day 2012 in the famous 2-day war with Canada, I volunteered to run Hell on Wheels for a few rounds in each of the battles that were fought. I was a mediocre 2-2 in the battles I presided over, but the availability was there and the skill developing.
Liquid HOMICIDE , who was PotUS at the time, saw my willingness and appointed me to the post of Secretary of Defense for the last 10 days of his term. I was diligent to my duties, keeping our national MU stocked and the supplies going out.
On Christmas Day, there were Congressional elections where I sought and won a seat. I promised activity and in the aftermath of that election, I reminded many congress people of the votes and discussion that was going on, both in game and behind the scenes on the private Congressional forum. I was, for lack of a better term, the Congressional Whip. That term, we looked at our budget, discussed OMS, and trimmed some of the fat that was programs like Project Cornucopia and consolidated the DoE and mentoring programs into the Department of the Interior.
In
Feefaroni ’s administration, I continued as the Secretary of Defense, organizing the defense of our homeland during the second half of January when Poland tried to occupy us. Obviously, I had help from 
Lilith of Apollyon and 
Char Aznable among others. During Wartime, Congress took a backseat to the Department of Defense, both in my focus and in general. I continued to serve as the Secretary of Defense under 
EmmanueI Goldstein ’s term.
After the war was ended and the new equipment module was introduced, we at the Defense Department made some decisions about HoW. This was to replenish the Federal Reserves after the long and costly war with Poland. In Congress, income taxes were increased to further raise the rate of replenishment. The new HoW rules had been in effect for about three weeks, when, as a final act in my role as Secretary of Defense, we tweaked those rules to their current state.
During the March 5th PotUS elections, a campaign issue was the lowering of import taxes on goods that we don’t have high regions in. Some objected to the measure that had already passed in Congress. I think some are unaware of how this works. A PotUS can set an agenda and try to get Members of Congress (MoC) to go along with it, but the PotUS has no veto powers or even the ability to propose laws, so the idea of electing a new PotUS to overturn actions of Congress is completely without merit. The reasoning behind the lowering of the import taxes was that an influx of products that we don’t produce in abundance will help our markets stabilize. We had/have a situation of high prices and high wages. Members of Congress thought that if we had foreign competition in these markets, the price would decrease, which would be good for the consumer and good for the stability of the market. I will revisit this in a future article and I’m sorry, by the way, about complaining about the lack of USA articles and then not doing something about it like I promised.
Now, we come to this month and my role in
LordRahl2 ’s administration. I am the community event director. This means Hell on Wheels. So, if you want supplied when HoW is open, run on down to the irc channel (#sim-us.strikes) and hit me up for some. Again, remember the new rules apply. I will also start writing articles about what is going on, both around the foreign political scene as well as in Congress, (at least as much as I can divulge). It is apparent that an informed public is an asset, and so I offer to be that ambassador to the public. I am in the process of setting up a “talk to the government” channel where every Monday and Thursday someone from the government will be to answer any questions the citizenry might have about what is going on in our nation. I will then publish the transcripts of or summarize the discussion in an article the following day. There will be an announcement on that in the coming days.
And finally, I can’t be the Congressional Ambassador to the Public if I’m not in congress. I am seeking a fourth term in your eUSA Congress. Commiserations to my good friend, the godking, Liquid HOMICIDE , I can’t vote for you and me at the same time.
So to close:
Vote D43r0n for Congress on Monday!!

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.
