The 6th of November,or in our case the 5th of every month.That time when all our voices are heard and the candidates are all jumping for votes. A good friend of mine once said:
"Its the most wonderful time of the year." - Santa Claus
SVL News is happy to bring to you the July Interviews.We hope that you can get to know who might possibly represent America a little better this way.
Currently from what i have heard or seen there are 3 official candidates for the July Presidency.The first one to submit their candidature is
Shylock . He is pretty known around here in many different ways.He has been playing for quite a while so he knows the ins and outs.He has served 2 times as President but not for the United States,and been in Congress 5 times for which some are for America. Then we have 
Shepherd Of Fire who has submitted second.He like Stego has been playing for quite some time and funny enough he has 2 Presidency's in Australia and 5 Congress runs for which some are in America too.He ran last month but lost to a meager 3ish votes i believe so he is liked among the crowd. So he will be a tough competitor.The 3rd to enter the race is 
8675309 .He has been playing for 400+ days and is known around the shout box.He has been in congress for 1 term with no other terms,he too is a good candidate,new but im sure good. Now to the Interviews:
Note : More Interviews will be added if more candidates appear.
Note : Question 3 was asked before the new alliance was made official,i knew about it but i didnt want to say anything before it was made official.Sorry for the inconvenience.
1. What is your view on [the] United States' future ?
Shylock : Given time and effort, I believe that the United States will be back at full speed. Our nation has been dealt a rather poor hand, primarily due to my weaknesses and those of Jude Connors, however met3 has corrected the majority of the mistakes that Jude made regarding the monetary market and so forth. I think given time, a steady hand at the tiller (I will stick around this time, I assure you), and a lack of direct wars will enable us to continue saving and rebuilding our nation's infrastructure.
Shepherd Of Fire : My views are simple, to get back to the basics. Help our allies and save some money in the meanwhile while gaining peace in our current open wars.
2. What is your personal opinion on the war with France?
Shylock : The war with France is an unfortunate by-product of my dealings with Spain and Portugal. In my haste, I forgot to get Spain to sign the NAP I had fostered and got signed by the primary parties (see; Brazil and Portugal). I closed out the war between Spain and the United States. Now, France wanted to support its ally Spain and friend (Mexico) and that is something I admire and as such they invaded the United States and reduced us to our current state. We can hold the Canadian East Coast but we should not be so aggressive as to invoke the wrath of French/Serbian militias. We were a weaker G7 member and The Spectres and WIC wanted to prove that they were cohesive alliances.
Shepherd Of Fire : My personal opinion is it is getting old and has no benefit for either country, peace should be coming soon.
3. What do you think about G7 dissolving and about us with no real alliance?
Shylock : I do not think we do not have a 'real alliance'. Our alliance with Poland and Lithuania has not faltered merely because a group of nations decided to desert us. No, that is not the case at all. Poland and Lithuania appreciate the United States and we've been friends and foes all through out history, within several alliances. I have been informed that we are rebuilding a more formal alliance, but I believe that will be released in a few days (if not sooner)
Shepherd Of Fire : A new alliance is already completed but hasn't be publicly announced as of yet.
4. What makes your Presidential Cabinet worthy of their position (if you have chosen one)?
Shylock : My cabinet is constructed in a manner that if I were sick or not feeling very well one day or wanted to go out to dinner with a ladyfriend, I would not have to worry about hell being unleashed. My picks are very stable individuals who have been invaluable to me throughout my time in the game.
Shepherd Of Fire : My cabinet has not been decided except that Feefaroni will be my Vice President, who better than her?
5. Why do you think you should be the next President?
Shylock : Personally, I am very disappointed in myself. I am irked that I acted the way I did and I am interested in allowing the nation to see my full potential. I have established a stable groundwork for my run and I have more clearly defined goals in a document of mine. I am thoroughly organized and willing to spend time (and if necessary, personal funds) to make something possible.
Shepherd Of Fire : Because I care and I never quit, I can give us the best chance and have a great military mind.
Thats it folks.Remember to VOTE on the 5th !
Take Care,

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.
