I read an article entitled "The best friend's of Serbia!" that was written by ScorpioLo , who is 3rd in XP and Damage ( in Serbian ) citizen rankings.
That article was ironic that Greece didn't help Serbia conquer Sarajevo, since we are allies.
Of course, the article didn't include only Greece but all ALPHA members and more countries that Serbs consider friends. I will deal with and answer only for Greece, since I am Greek and I know the other side of the coin that involves my country.
In the list below I will present you ALL the battles that Greece was directly involved in the past 10 days ( 2 days after ALPHA was created till now ).
Under the name of the region and the time of each battle I will report the damage that Serbia did FOR and AGAINST Greece. I will report how our Serbian "allies" ( who whine about the lack of ally/friend help ) respected the ally bonds that connect our two countries from the beginning of ALPHA till now.

As you can clearly see, not only we didn't have them on our side, we had them on the opposite side, fighting fiercely against us, as it appears from the contrast of FOR and AGAINST damage.
They fought against in every single battle in the past ten days.
Even when we had three battles simultaneously open.
Even when they had to travel to join battle.
Even when our original regions were attacked and sGreek soil was at risk.
Everyone will wonder why this happened. I will give the explanation that was given by some Serbs who are involved in their politics.
All this mess was caused because the "majority" in Serbia didn't agree with the president's decision to join ALPHA and stop following the alliance-system that was inherited from other online games.
If you read till here, read the few more lines that remain, they worth it.
In this article, sincerely, I am not whining, 10 days have passed and I didn't publish this article during those days, although I could.
I published this article at this specific time that they dared to provoke us, to imply that we are traitors.
Dear Serbs, We-Are-Not...
It was really disappointing and annoying to see you in the opposite side of the battle.
I was one of the few ( as it seems ) who dreamed Serbia and Greece in the same alliance. One of the few who wanted to avoid transferring situations from other games to this one. One of the few who were really excited when ALPHA was formed.
Last but not least, I have to emphasize the fact that not all Serbs fought against us. There was always a "small" group of them that persistently fought on our side. Just because I am not able to mention each player's name, I will mention the only Serbian Military Unit ( that I noticed ) which appeared in almost every battle for us, Tigrovi .
Thanks and Respect to them and to anyone who honored the ally bonds.
I still hope for a solution so that we will change state from "allies" to Allies.
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
