If you don't yet know who this guys is, thenDreier is a superstar in Germany's politics - long time president and government member, as well as serving for the past month as the leading commander of Primera's largest alliance. I tried to cover both these qualities of him in my interview, you'll be the judge whether i succeeded. Our talk hopefully opens
1. You're a busy guy,
Dreier . Thanks for finding the time to do this interview. 
1. Hey
Orlandio , nah I have to thank you. I always wanted be interviewed and now its real. 
2. For the past month you've been the Supreme Commander of the currently most powerful alliance in Primera . Why were you chosen and how ready were you for this challenge?
2. Well first I have to say that alliances cannot be measured on statistics or anything else: Its all about the team spirit and how active the people are. We all saw the ally OF which is failing because their lack of coordination.
Why were I chosen? probably because I'm quite active on irc - I do my a-levels this year but still have much time.
- and because one of my big skill is the battle coordination and tactics. I like to "drain" the enemy and then win with the minimal effort that is possible. That's why I'm not kind of a friend of big allys since they are not very effective.
3. You were in the process of founding Storm of Freedom. Why was the alliance created in the first place? Have you fulfilled your original goals?
3. That's right. As the old players maybe know, the ally also existed before reset. We just changed name and started a new direction: The main goals were to save our members from OF countries, focus were on balkan. I guess the most people still know the battle in Hungary: Ukraine, Serbia, Slovenia and Lithuania attacked all Hungary, then Sweden and Lithaunia also attacked Poland together.
Our first prio was always free Core regions of our members. But sadly I have to say, that prio has changed during the time: We improved our coordination and finally gained the upper hand against OF. And we all know what that means: Searching colonies and profit - and that can destroy even the biggest ally by themselves.
4. Now that you're the SC, have you done anything to change that?
4. We made for example several RWs in High Iron of serbia (like today ) and together we set certain goals that should be reached - first half of month was to wipe Italy because they attacked together with Slovenia and Croatia. So Germany and 2 weeks later Poland attacked Italy to help Croatia to gain freedom again.
But yes, in a big ally there will be always a search of profit and colonies.
5. Who do you see as your allies outside the alliance? Who do you see as your greatest enemies?
5. Outside the ally definitely Belgium and Netherlands because they are kindly sisters and brothers of Germany. We also started a new chapter of a France-Germany friendship but the CP of France with which I had good relations with got impeached some days ago. My greatest enemies are definitely Slovenia, Italy and Greece. Italy, because they always go for Germany. Slovenia, because they just care about themselves and of course support Italy. And Greece because they even hit against Germany when we were in the same ally.
6. In one sentence, how would you characterize SoF?
6. SoF: Strong, optimal, Friendship.
7. Let's talk about something you've been running for much longer than SoF - that is Germany. How come you're so popular that your people have voted you for president 5 times?
7. Well unofficial, I was CP 3-4x more times: I used to let new and interested people to get the chance to become CP while I act kind of mentor and maybe that's the reason why I'm so popular: I'm very active on german chat, people love my jokes and quotes and maybe one important factor: With me as CP, Germany was nearly 100% of the time on map. I don't know if you remember the last years, but we were conquered almost every month by Hungary, Italy, Sweden or Poland. That changed when me and my gov made a big and important step to switch the side: From old friends like Lithuania, Sweden, Slovenia and Greece to Hungary, Poland and Brazil. And another important aspect: E-sim is only about motivation of the citizen - and thats is something that I do almost every day: pushing and motivatin the citizen.
8. Where do you find enough time to do so much in e-Sim?
8. Well as I said before: I do my a-levels this year (in Germany its called Abitur) and Im kind of lazy guy. I do my Abitur with not bad grades while I really don't do that much for school and Im satisfied with my grades.
Also my activity lowers from time to time when I get unmotivated sometimes so its not the case that I'm online every day much. 
9. How do you see the future of Germany? Any newcomers with potential to become great leaders?
9. I see a great future for Germany: We have many active people that always hit coordinated together, also there are many potential candidates for beeing a new great leader - its my job to find and support them.
So yeah, maybe even in next year there will be someone else on position as CP.
10. That's it although i feel you've still got much to tell and if you keep up with the activity you'll achieve many more great things in e-Sim politics.
Godspeed, Dreier !!
10. Thank you for the great interview.
Yes I could tell you many more but I guess every citizen has their own story. Go ahead and write more good articles Orlandio - and don't hesitate in any topic you want to write - you are a journalist with one of the biggest voices - use it wisely.

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.
