You can skip this first section if you'd like, it's not that important, but if you want a straightforward explanation of what has happened the last few days, read on.
For a month, I monitored
shurdy 's use of the FR. He did a good job keeping up with job offers and things, so I tended to overlook the fact that he seemed to be taking extra from the FR, including all of our Q5 weapons. As time went on, however, I noticed he seemed a bit more power hungry. The way it seemed was that he saw the supplies at the FR as the government's property, which was given to citizens, rather than the property of the people, managed by the government. This led him to pursue a more liberal attitude towards giving himself and his own MU supplies, even when unnecessary. It was for this reason that once I had the opportunity to become president, I had shurdy pass on his knowledge to the more trustworthy and impartial 
Sahbani . I then cut shurdy out of the FR so that his requests for supplies would have to go through me first, and I could evaluate them.
Shurdy, however, instead of taking the demotion and apologizing, decided to do three things:
1. Having made deals with multiple countries so we could peacefully take their territory, he declared the deal broken, resulting in an explosion of RWs against us.
2. He declared his intention to move the Kingdom MU to Croatia, and take its members with him.
3. He attempted to pin all of the blame for these problems on none other than
twezday77 , whose only action had been to take away shurdy's access.
Now you're caught up on what went down, and I'll continue with the more important bits of the article.
This is where the more important stuff begins, so don't skip it.
This unfortunate series of events has put the United States in a very disadvantageous situation. We have lost or will lose many of our best fighters, who see shurdy as the key to winning the server, rather than working as a team. They'll follow him to Croatia, who is the heavy favorite for server victory. This will leave us with far less damage potential than we had before, and will greatly limit our ability to take territories. It'll be a far more difficult journey than we expected.
This is not, however, a completely new problem. It starts, in fact, all the way back at the beginning of the server. The USA's best fighters were mostly concentrated in the Kingdom MU, a powerful MU with the ability to make plenty of its own supplies. The investments from our best players, therefore, did not go to developing the Government's production ability, but rather that of the Kingdom MU. Our government itself was left weak.
The government never ended up being completely developed, firstly because the investors were already occupied, and second because we never foresaw the day when the Kingdom MU would have a reason to leave us. Shurdy's rash actions, however, brought that day about, and we're stuck in a terrible predicament.
So here's the situation, for all of you Americans who remain:
1. We need to lower taxes. We need to drop prices of American goods so that they're cheap and easy to buy. This should hopefully help us reduce pressure on the government.
2. We need to reunite. This has been a turbulent period, but let's dust ourselves off and get back on our feet. The fight isn't over yet.
3. We're going to have to try harder than we expected. Much harder. We aren't one of the big punchers at the moment, we're just average. It's going to be a slugfest to the finish, and we need all hands on deck.
4. The Continental Army MU is being turned into a Commune. It will replace the Kingdom MU as our main MU. I encourage anyone and everyone with gold to either invest there or invest in your own MUs and companies. We need to boost our supply and economic ability as much as possible in a very short amount of time.
Everyone needs to step up. This is a time to prove that America isn't defined by a single man or a single government, but is rather the sum of each and every one of its parts. Viva 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.
