America,
Over the weekend I announced to you that I will be running for President this month. I was honored to receive this endorsement from Met3 who has served previously as President, the leader of Band of Brothers, the Speaker of the House, and many other roles. It is my firm belief that the first job of a leader is to surround himself with good people. I have worked over the past week to reach out to active players in our country and find the best people to help me run the government next month. Without further ado, let me present my cabinet.
Department of Defense –
Sir Hypnotoad
Sir Hypnotoad is the current leader of the Band of Brothers military unit and the publisher of the Chicago Gazette. He has served several terms in Congress and has held the top job in the Departments of Education, Interior, and State. Most recently, Hypnotoad has been instrumental in helping me lead our counter-attacks against the Philippines by coordinating soldiers in IRC and negotiating with our allies. As Secretary of Defense, he will be tasked with continuing to keep our armed forces active and ready for battle as well as coordinating with our new allies.
Department of State –
LordRahl2
LordRahl is a fellow TOPGUN pilot and has been playing this game longer than anyone can remember. He has served one term as President previously and has more than a year of collective Congressional experience under his belt. He will return to the State Department this month for his third term and be our nation’s primary contact for our foreign allies. The job also includes working with our Ambassador Corps, a group of newer players who want to get their foot in the door of the US government. He wants you to know that his nickname is “Viper” and the most fun he ever had in e-Sim was distributing supplies to defend the US from a triple invasion last summer (a battle, he notes, that we won).
Department of the Interior –
★ Lundenor
Lunde comes to us from Sweden in RL, but is no stranger to the e-USA. He is our highest damage producer and is the leader of the Solution MU. His European time zone will be an advantage for our government, as will his knowledge of Sweden’s successful mentor programs. He will bring that knowledge to us as he oversees the mentor program as well as a new external recruitment drive.
Secretary of the Treasury –
Lars Thunderfist
Lars, AKA Devoid, is the nation’s leading economic mind. He has served in one capacity or another relating to finance in countless administrations. I am pleased to have him join us for another round. Devoid will be keeping tabs on our revenues and expenses, making sure that we are spending our taxes responsibly and giving recommendations on tax policy. He is a Gemeni who enjoys long walks on the beach and counting his shekels by candlelight.
Chief of Staff –
Feefaroni
Feefaroni, AKA Fionia, is another long-time veteran of eUS service. She has served as President, BOB commander, and held nearly every cabinet post at one point or another – most notably Secretary of Education. She will be tasked with the daunting challenge of keeping the rest of these guys on task and running some of the day-to-day work of the Executive branch. Her most proud accomplishments include fending off a Polish invasion as President and creating the Aleutian Pact alliance, notable for being one of few in e-Sim without a really stupid name.
In addition to these five wonderful people, I will have the pleasure of working with many other former presidents and active community members to ensure that the government is always running and working for you. If you are interested in getting involved this month, please contact any of my cabinet members and they will find the right job for you. We always need new members to help out and discover the fun parts behind the scenes of e-Sim government.

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.
