With the time remaining on this server, I would like to continue pursuing further coordination of our fighting forces. By now you've all been given plenty of information about the IRC and our supply procedures. If you are unclear on that issue, read up on it here .
Military Strategy Improvements
A basic form of military strategy is to fight at T-2. If you don't know what "T-2" means, it's meant to be read "T minus 2 minutes," much like a NASA rocket launch countdown. Therefore, T-2 means 2 minutes before the end of the battle. Nearly every country on Maxima has a better record of fighting at T-2 than we do. Connected to that fact is the problem we have with overkill. We frequently put up massive walls well before T-2 or even T-30, and thus waste many millions in damage. If more of us fought at T-2, we could get a better idea of how much damage we actually need. If we do end up needing 13 million more damage, then at least we drained damage from them as well in the race at T-2, rather than allowing them to give up the one round, only for them to win the next.
Our List of Allies
The list of the friends of the United States has grown ever shorter, due to broken deals and inactivity. As of now, these are the countries we can count on our side:
Croatia
Serbia
Italy
Romania
Spain
Argentina
Indonesia
Please, do not fight for countries other than these, even if our MPP with a country not on this list has not yet expired.
Recruitment Drive
The most important news of this article has been saved for the end. As Minister of Defense I am putting together an actual Department of Defense, and for that I need Defense Officers.
These are the specifications of the purpose of DOs:
1. Officers will not have access to the Federal Reserve or the Org themselves.
2. Officers will, in times of battle, receive a contract from the US Federal Reserve. This contract will contain a stipend of supplies that each Officer will use to respond to requests for supplies. This is intended to ensure low wait times on supply requests.
3. In order to prevent abuse of (2), the contract will contain a large amount of debt. The debt of an officer who abuses the supplies they are given will not be canceled. An officer who fulfills his duties and returns any remaining supplies to the Federal Reserve will have the debt removed.
4. Officers will only be capable of giving the standard supply count (10/5/80). If a special request is made and partly fulfilled by a DO, they will notify the Federal Reserve via mail, or either
twezday77 or 
shurdy on IRC, in order to allow the rest of the request to be filled.
5. Officers will receive their personal supplies separate from the contract.
6. In the absence of the Minister of Defense/Vice President, Defense Officers will serve as the ranking officer. They will be able to determine priorities and coordination specifications. In the presence of the Minister of Defense or the President, they will serve as military strategy advisers.
Anyone who thinks that they would be skilled at serving in this capacity, please message me with a brief explanation of why you think you deserve the job.
That concludes today's briefing. Thank you for reading.

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.
