I am Fredrick Jackson. I was North Korean (same name) in eRep, am South Korean (same name) in Secura and have been a USA citizen for nearly a year here on Primera. Other than in Primera, I specialized in small government construction and precision attacks. Basically, I play hardcore micro and metagame.
What is microgame and metagame and why should that matter to a voting USA citizen?
Microgame can loosely be defined as the small aspects of any action. The small details, if you will. These small details make up 1-10% of the value of all actions in a game like e-sim.
Metagame can be defined by the small details as well. USA is great in eRep, good in primera and still decent in secura. What I find that keeps USA from being the best/great in all three of these games, is the lack of metagame. Meta is the full assumption of your ingame persona. It is the demeanor and stance you bring to your role as a citizen, soldier, employee, employer, congressman, MU Leader and President. We have the citizens, the desire, the know how to dominate our regions, but that last 1-10% is what we need to push us over the edge.
With the increase in our metagame play, and with some new microgame policies, we will reach new heights.
I am meta.
Domestic Policies
Finance
Our Congress does a terrific job of outlining our budget. I will follow thru on all budget allocations AND post daily tax updates to keep our budget current and relevant. I will release more on our spending habits in a later post.
Monetary
There will be changes to how our monetary system is currently. These are tried and true policies, and will be outlined more in coming days.
Foreign Policies
Diplomacy
I will continue Pillow's work in forming G7 bonds. Due to my international ties on the other server, I have friends in G7 already and will continue to build those relationships. Jude’s approach in annexing our rebellious state of Canada will be continued. I would like to thank Jude for setting up this opportunity.
Defense & Military
We have the Team National cup (4-6 nations on a team) and the Single Nation cup (1 nation v 1 nation) coming up in the next months. WE WILL COMPETE AND WE WILL WIN! This is a game, supplies are more valuable than gold, and the USA will have a great showing. This is the reason we pay taxes. Our team nation cup will be an incredible opportunity to foster relationships with a foreign nation and will further our position relation wise.
Military Leadership
The only decisions I have made regarding our military future, are that we will work hard to win our nation tournament events and that our military will be in the hands of an incredibly hardworking and dutiful player who I am now calling up to leadership.
Chasely is a roleplayer who will complement my meta and microgaming views and make our nation proud.
I can always be found. As of now, I am active on IRC 4-6 hours a day. As CP I expect that number to grow. Having access to the CP, even if he is just idle, is vital to morale and efficiency. My cabinet will consist of members who are IRC active as well.
Our second to last CP (Pillow) was CP of the UK. One of our candidates (Enraged Mushroom) was CP of Australia. While I served and will happily serve under these men, I believe we should have new blood at the top. While I am not new to e-sim politics, I am a fresh face in the Oval Office. I have ample experience here in primera and from other games, but my meta and micro game views will be fresh and beneficial to USA.
I will share more of my aggressive and pragmatic domestic policies as the time approaches, but I can promise that we will have a "good" kind of fun while I am in office, and not at the expense of our sovereignty.
Sincerely with my best John Hancock impression,

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.
