Dutch Citizens,
My first article in e-sim on a matter I do find important. On the forum there have been a discussion about congress and if citizens should have access to congress forum and if they should be able to also give their opinion in congress. The opinion on this matter still seems to be divide on this matter but my opinion on this matter is very clear.
Congress, like government should be transparent, the people who voted for their congressman, the citizens of the Netherlands should know what is going on and what they are doing. yes, I know that some matters that are delicate need some secrecy and need to be discussed behind closed doors but most matter of congress should be done in public forum and open to public to see. Arguments like people will interrupt the discussion or to protect congressman when they make a dumb proposal or argument are not good enough arguments. If a people interrupts the discussions a admin can remove this access, if a congressman makes a dumb proposal then it's his own fault, the people who voted for that person should be allowed to know and make the decision to maybe vote for somebody else the next time.
As for writing access for citizens I do think that it is very important that citizens, not just congressman should be able to voice their opinion and give their input on matters. I have been playing in erepublik and lived in multiple countries and I have seen that the opinion of citizens and the input that they give can be very valuable. A lot of the time citizens can add valuable arguments to the discussion and give information that is very important to the discussion. I don't think we, as a still very small community should exclude people just because they weren't elected for congress, they still have a valuable opinion. The citizens are the people who voted for the congressman and should not be held in the dark. Congressman are voted in by the public and most of the congress matter should not be withheld from them

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.
