First off, I'd like to state just how extremely pleased I am with how the National Cup tourney ended up. The USA, Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia, Switzerland, Netherlands and even Spain, who we just had hostilities with, not too far in the past, all came together to pull off a 2-1 run. We also won 3rd place overall, which means 2 medkits and 10 gold for every citizen of our countries who dropped at least 30 hits in the battles.
Gold which will come in handy for some of the new players who have been joining our ranks recently, and medkits, which will allow us a temporary boost of damage should we ever need it for our defense.
My hats off to everyone who fought their hardest to win a little prestige on the side. The God King salutes his loyal subjects, and furthermore, salutes his loyal Primarch, Judicus Connors I.
Remember the Irish? They used to be like our little brothers once upon a time.
LukeZo used to be the closest thing to a brother in this game, that I've had.
It perturbs our royal sense to see the current turmoil going on in their country, so I've decided to set the record straight, once and for all.
1. Ireland has not now, nor has it ever been friends with Portugal.
2. The USA once fought a week or so long war on behalf of Ireland, to protect them from Portugal.
3. The USA set up camp in Cork/Kerry on the behest of Ireland and the UK, in order to protect Ireland from Portugal.
4.
Mac Vasco has probably been Irish for longer than either 
Sam Lord , or 
Marcus Suridius have been alive in this game.
5. Ireland has historically taken an approach to foreign affairs that best benefits their citizens and their country, relying heavily on allies to protect themselves, should diplomacy fail.
6. Ireland has never been part of the Phoenix/Spectre crowd, and appealing to them to save you from Lithuania, who actually offered you guys a pretty fair deal, is both trite and selfish.
7. LukeZo DID have a good relationship with Spain, which is why Mac and many other real life Spanish players were invited to Ireland BY him.
Lastly, I think you guys have bigger issues to argue about than whether or not you're being PTO'ed. You're not. More importantly, rocking the boat against Lithuania will result in your consequent total subjugation. They don't need your iron, they have plenty of their own resources elsewhere.
Lastly, I'd like to take this time to add another good American player to the ranks of the Knights of Homocide.
Vladimir . He's not the most vocal player, nor is he the flashiest, or even the strongest. He is, however, one of the most steadfast and level headed players you will ever meet in this game, and someone I consider one of my first friends here, as well.
He's filled many roles in this game, most of which were behind the scenes, or filling foreign affairs missions when needed. He's also served HoW, and always offered solid perspectives and advice.
For this,
Vladimir has my thanks and gratitude. I hope he continues to serve the realm so admirably in the future.
May your paths to success be short and fulfilling.

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.
