Other than the shurdy debacle, in which he took the Kingdom MU's business elsewhere, we've faced a few things, positive and negative
NEGATIVE We've lost our empire. Without enough fighters, we have not managed to defend it, and our cores appear to be next on the menu.
POSITIVE Among those who did not leave with the Kingdom MU, we've experienced greater unity of purpose. Having dealt with the issue of shurdy taking more than his fair share, the administration became much more open and trustworthy, and people within the country were not accused by its leader of being fools or traitors simply because they had a different opinion.
NEGATIVE We've lost our alliance. They did not care to help us in our time of need, and began to take advantage of our weakness. I do admit that I understated how much they've helped us in the past, but it is fact that they have not helped us in our darkest hour. Instead they have sought every angle from which to make an excuse for taking a piece of our empire and blame the entire situation on something that ultimately makes no difference. Whether they helped us in the past or not, attempting to take advantage of us now is not acceptable, and I will never stand for it.
POSITIVE We lowered taxes. Many people had been complaining about this, and in an effort to stimulate the domestic economy, we slashed taxes to allow businesses to gain a better foothold.
NEGATIVE The tax cuts didn't help. Our economy did not improve, and from my position there wasn't another visible solution to change that.
POSITIVE We got people more involved. Although the numbers of people who officially took us up on our offers for advisor positions was small, we also got input from informal advisors as well. I think that was a great experience for our country and I'm glad to have had the help.
NEGATIVE We lost investment. Big fighters also tend to make more money, and more money means more investment. After losing those fighters, we lost a large sum of investment and have thus failed to generate strong production. Although it is possible for the government to continue supplying at its current rate, likely to the end of the server, it would be impossible to increase supply.
Ultimately, there's a theme to be found here. As President, I defended America, its people, and its principles. Where are we now? A worse position. The negatives have overcome the positives. I, for one, am unwilling to return to the age of shadows in an attempt at victory.
I have therefore decided that I will step down as President. Things will be said about me; some will say I was a good influence, others will say that my attempt at justice was the work of a fool, and ultimately destroyed the country. I think it's safe to say, however, that paraphrasing The Dark Knight describes it best; I am the President this country deserves, but not the one it needs right now. It is clear to see that attempting to do what's right only resulted in a worse result. It appears this country needs someone who does the wrong things in the right way. I am not that President.
Thank you for reading.
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.
