Article
I would like to officially announce my candidature for President of the USA.
In this article I will be highlighting accomplishments USA has had in the first 2 weeks of the server (1.5 weeks with an actual government) and highlight some of the future plans for the country.
Prior to the actual appointment of government of this server, I was working hard behind the scenes to establish quite a few things for USA. We forged alliances, rental agreements and other deals as well as future policies (laws) that would set the foundation for the country.
Foreign Policy
Our official alliance was forged on day 3, Wayne Enterprises, consisting of primarily Sweden and Croatia with sub members Belgium and Hungary.
We also have MPPs with other countries that while they may not be "official allies" we still have their support and they have our support such as Canada, Mexico and Turkey.
We also have a couple of more acquaintance type allies NAPs with Indonesia, Taiwan, UK and Iran. For some reason Congress decided to MPP Russia without my blessing... so we are also MPP with Russia.
As far as diplomacy goes my only point of fear for an invasion would be from Russia,
I know little about them, they have not reached out to me and as such, I will secure that border with Defense Systems to protect our cores.
We also established a rental agreement with Mexico to secure the last 2 pieces of high resource regions for USA. This agreement can be found HERE
Domestic Policy
Speaking of Defense Systems, I provided USA with a personal loan of 500 gold to establish a Defense System supply network to produce our own, as well as sell some of our Defense Systems to other nations to generate gold income.
We have one of the top MUs residing in USA, Stoned Army which is filled with some of the top players from Xaria.
Economy
I passed several laws (through congressmen) to establish our tax code. The general principal is:
No taxes for raws for Americans, Slight tax for imports of raws
Slight taxes for products for Americans, Moderate tax for imports of products
Flat 8% income tax
I feel that this setup works well because it allows raws to be sold for USD more freely, Establishes semi low tax rates to sell products (should bring cheaper prices) and takes a very small percent of workers salary to give back USD to the country to use for creating country defense and foundation through gold generation.
Plans for the Future
I personally am not a warmonger, so country expansion at day 14 of the server is not a priority to me. If the intent was to win the server, these little battles you win are just costing you resources when the bigger picture is formed later (look at Xaria). I have provided us with a strong foundation of Allies who do choose to focus on early expansion, which should provide enough battles for those that do choose to fight to try to BH / Farm Gear.
I plan on keeping our cores safe, our economy strong and solidifying our boarders with protection, as well as keeping strong relationships with our allies, no matter how small they are.
Honestly, if everything were to stay the same I would be happy with that. I feel like the country is running smoothly, almost on autopilot after a week or so of negotiations and strategic planning and that is how I feel a well managed country should be working. Constant changes / waking up occupied is the sign of a volatile country which is not a safe or desired place to live in.
I hope you are all happy with our progress so far and choose to elect me again as your President.
I do urge you all to vote, regardless of who you choose, your vote DOES matter.
Stay safe America

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.
