Most people have different suggestions for the leaders of their country, but unfortunately, almost all of those thoughts are not being heard due to some certain factors like they are afraid to voice out, they are being silenced, or they don't care anymore to release them.
Only a few had the courage to voice out their intentions, suggestions, and pleas to the higher authorities. And as one of those who cannot stand at their own feet to speak before, I once dreamed to represent the depressed, the oppressed, and the weak. I have seen the most of them: looking for answers, seeking for help and asking for justice. Now that I managed to get up, I'm ready to shout the voices of the people who are still clenched in fear.
To the person who will be elected, here are the things that I DARE/CHALLENGE you to do/have:
1) HAVE THE MIND OF A REVOLUTIONARY.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
- John Maxwell
When someone sees the word REVOLUTION, some think of rebels: they are against the government, they want to push their reforms by any means possible, and they know the REAL situation of their country. The rebels will do anything just for their voices to be heard by the government. They want to correct what is wrong. Remember that not everything that you used to see/do is right. They want to open the eyes of the public of what is really happening to their motherland. At some point, they represent those who are being left out and being left behind by those who are excelling greatly.
The next president must be like this also, in a positive way. They must know what their country really needs. They will be voted by the people that have entrusted them for they know that they will be their light in their darkened dreams. They must know how to meddle with any brewing fights within their country and be good mediators. They must realize that they will be the ones that will choose the path of their nation to greatness. And when a person becomes the president, he/she should not be controlled by someone. Work at your own will.
Also, have a sense of vision.
Vision without a task is only a dream. A task without a vision is but drudgery. But vision with a task is a dream fulfilled.
2) HAVE THE GOOD ATTITUDE OF A LEGISLATOR.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
- Winston Churchill
You may have the fire inside your heart to serve the people, but if you have a very bad attitude, will you accomplish anything? More probably not, but if there is something that you will accomplish, it will be the lost of confidence and trust from your people. Having a great mind is one thing. Having the right attitude is another. Don't let your emotions control your every judgement. Do not make any decisions when you have a heavy heart. Respect people's feelings. Even if it doesn't mean anything to you, it could mean everything to them.
Be careful on what you are saying. Once those words leave your mouths, you'll never be able to take them back. Words are like swords. If you use them the wrong way, they'll turn into ugly weapons. There are cases of broken relationships that could have lasted a lifetime if not for verbal abuse. Once you sever your ties, you might not see each other ever again. So does in politics.
3) BE AN ISNPIRATION TO OTHERS.
To be inspired is great. To inspire is incredible.
Be an example to the community. Give hope to others who have already lost theirs. A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader. Offer strength and courage to those who are weak. Shed light to those who cannot find their way through thick fogs of fear and anxiety.
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
- William Jennings Bryan
Your decisions will change the course of your country. So think very carefully before you vote. Your vote, no matter how small compared to the population of your country, will have a very big impact to your nation's progression.
To the person that will be elected, congratulations. May you serve your country well and according to the hopes and dreams of the people. To those who will not be able to make the cut, there's always next time.
That's all for now...

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.
