It's that time of the month; Congressional Election season!
Once more we have a large number of candidates. As I receive more info in the next 24 hours, I'll be editing the article accordingly, so don't be afraid to check back again during the elections before you make your pick.
My goal with this article isn't to tell you who to vote for, but to inform you of the options so you can tell what the best choice is. We're looking for an active and knowledgeable Congress this month, and with the situation our country is currently facing, it's more important than ever that we find it.

Now without further ado, here are your July Congressional Candidates:
Anonymous Party
twezday77 : I am the current hardworking DoD of the US. I am online most of the time, unless I'm sleeping, and I'd love to join the Congress officially. Outlook: Very Positive
xXBetancourtXx : A good candidate with extensive experience and good activity levels. Outlook: Very Positive
RedBud : A current active congress member, and a friendly and open party leader. Outlook: Very Positive
Silverma : A current active congress member and vocal American citizen. Outlook: Very Positive
j_jiffer : Having recently left a less active country, he has experience as CP on Antica, and is an active and speedy congressman on Primera. Outlook: Very Positive
Mr X : He is currently in Congress and hasn't shown timeliness with laws, but when he is on he is very active and can be found on IRC. He has voiced a strong willingness to discuss policy options and decisions with anyone who has a question, and is in that respect a valuable e-American. With experience on four servers, including dealing with thievery from Orgs, he clearly deserves a spot in politics, though Congress may not be his best fit. Outlook: Slightly Positive
SliferX : Appears to be mostly inexperienced but has voted on plenty of laws and proposed a few himself. Outlook: Slightly Positive
ghyeith : He can be seen in shouts sometimes and has been CP somewhere on this server, though his current activity level is unknown. Outlook: Neutral
Popeye : Interested in politics, but his activity level is unknown. Outlook: Slightly Negative
Dream America Party
Jon Snow : He's a level 15 Field Marshall who has been active in the past and will likely continue to be so, despite having resigned the presidency that he was reluctant to take on. He did fairly well as president, despite missing a couple details in regard to Spain, and will likely make a good Congressman. Outlook: Very Positive
Sahbani : He has 8 months of experience on e-sim (Secura, Suna, Antica), and is a six-time Congressman overall. I've personally seen his contribution in battle and can confirm that he has a high level of activity. He visits IRC during wartime. Outlook: Mostly Positive
joujinu : You can view his presentation here . He's a big help in battle and a busy entrepreneur, making him an active candidate. He may not have a lot of Congress experience, but an active candidate is hard to pass up. Outlook: Mostly Positive
stickss : A level 14 Lieutenant General who can also be seen helping us frequently in battle. Not a lot of shouts, but has experience on Suna and Primera and is confident in his level of activity. Outlook: Mostly Positive
warrowdsz : He'd like to see the US win the server. He has played on Antica for Romania and a merc MU. He spends a few hours online each day (hopefully spread out) and can be seen interacting with his fellow citizens in shouts and comments. Outlook: Slightly Positive
gouluk : He's been elected president on this server before (appears to be France). He is a merc, so his loyalty can be questioned, but appears to be decently active. Outlook: Neutral
sharry : He can frequently be seen on IRC. Although he seems active in that respect, he's been around since day 1 and is only level 12. Outlook: Neutral
harmcity : Mostly quiet with an unknown activity level. Outlook: Slightly Negative
LemonAid : A level 9 Sergeant Major, so he's newer than most candidates. Likely a medal searcher, but he could turn out to be more. Outlook: Mostly Negative
jirkalor : Mostly unknown and uncommunicative. Outlook: Mostly Negative
ppdanny : Currently in Congress and does not seem to often vote on laws in a timely manner. Outlook: Mostly Negative
Independent American Party
BattleSir12 : He has been a good communicator, especially during battle, and checks e-sim many times during the day, which would help with passing laws. He has not, however, been in Congress on e-sim before. He does have congress experience in similar games and has played on other E-Sim servers. Outlook: Very Positive
Zoroi : Prominent American and active citizen, but he can be a bit obstinate at times. Currently an active Congressman. Outlook: Mostly Positive
ApToX : Active citizen, good soldier, and current Congressman. Outlook: Mostly Positive
Yaronef : Former CP of the US after the loss of George Washington, and did a good job of it. Did not run for president due to real life, but he has the experience. Outlook: Mostly Positive
Andrej Danko : His main server is Secura. Has the experience and shows up for battles, only question is his current activity level on this server. Outlook: Slightly Positive
Toni Kroos : He's in a foreign MU, but his experience is undoubted. He's been elected CP 5 times on Antica, and has won servers as an individual and with a country. Outlook: Slightly Positive
Mike Rowe : A former DoD. Hasn't been as active as of late, perhaps a Congress position would change that. Outlook: Slightly Positive
1896 : A trigger happy Field Marshall who has been known to ignore orders in the past. Can't deny the enthusiasm, though. Overall activity level is unclear, but it looks like he's at least on every day. Outlook: Neutral
juam41 : His activity level is unknown, but he's a good soldier. Outlook: Slightly Negative
Shadow Government
Moonshadow : A citizen with experience, but who refuses to use IRC. Active and votes quickly, but communication could improve. Outlook: Mostly Positive
blowfly : One of the few congressmen who votes on things, not a particularly vocal citizen. Outlook: Mostly Positive
Kazuto : CP and congress experience on Suna, also played on Primera and Secura. Moderately active. Outlook: Slightly Positive
Kaige : Presentation can be found here . Kaige is a current congressman and a good citizen but is not always around to vote. Outlook: Neutral
Ajeeb baat hai Raaja : Current congressman, moderately active. Outlook: Neutral
alban11 : Likely a medal hunter. Outlook: Mostly Negative
Zeno : Likely not on as often as necessary. Outlook: Mostly Negative
Arthur Dent : Likely a medal hunter. Outlook: Mostly Negative
NFB : Likely a medal hunter. Outlook: Mostly Negative
Franklayn : Likely a medal hunter. Outlook: Mostly Negative
American Liberty Party
Dethicon : A pretty vocal citizen and former congressman. Activity level unknown. Outlook: Slightly positive
Anime

The Lion King .
Il Tucuman : Likely a medal hunter. Outlook: Mostly Negative
Thanks for skimming through this list, I hope you choose wisely. Again, as candidatures are cancelled and whatnot, this list will be edited. Best case scenario, we'll elect only people who earned a Positive rating. Good luck to all candidates!
PS: If you'd like to provide me with more details on yourself, mail me before the elections so I can include it.

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.
