Here's a first draft, much of this idea, as you will see, hinges on an active MoS and a congress that is willing to work with him/her. The party leaders I spoke to, all liked this draft, so I am opening it to everyone for discussion. This is a matter that concerns all of us so would be nice to get feedback from everyone. As much as a national forum would simplify some of this, I am writing this draft so that it is not a requirement. Forums seem to be hugely unpopular anymore, and anything outside the game seems to be unwanted by many. Obviously this is all open to change/erasure/rewrite. I’ve chosen to not add a 'penalty' area for 'illegally' accepting a cs because they are notoriously impossible to enforce. If ya want one tho I'm happy to add it.

Green Light Procedure
♦ Requires the applicant to be vouched for by 2 congressmen or party presidents from different top 5 parties to ensure the applicant is known and trusted.
♦ The applicant must first apply for citizenship and include the names of the two vouching congressmen to become eligible for this process.
♦ The MoS will confirm that the named congressmen are actually vouching. If these congressmen did not actually vouch, the applicant will be rejected
Yellow Light Procedure,
♦ After the application is made the MoS will acknowledge the applicant, via an in game mail.
♦ In the first 2 days the MoS must interview the applicant, The interviewing can take place in-game or IRC.
♦ After the interview the MoS will contact either the applicant(in the case of a refusal), or a congress member with an available pass.
In the event of an application refusal the MoS must post a national shout stating the applicant's name and reason for rejection so there is a written record. Names of rejected applicants, and the reasons for rejected should be kept by the Ministry of Security and passed on from one to the next as terms change.(possibly a simple google doc?)

So far the biggest concern I’ve heard has been a lack of penalty clauses. I would be willing to add them if we thought that they could/would be enforced.

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.
