Greetings Fellow Americans,
Here is a very basic guide to using IRC (the chat used by most citizens and members of government), I won't waste much time with formalities here so let us begin:
Step one: Click here to go to the Official USA Chat on IRC .
Step two: After a little bit staring at some frog talk about loading or something or other you will then be asked to enter a nickname, don't worry about putting in the channel thanks to my handy link that won't be a concern.
Step three: So you have picked your name now all you need to do is click the Go button.
Step four: Congratulations you have made it to IRC (insert fireworks and applause here)
Now if you are like me you may see a number of idle chatters, if the one you are looking for is idle you need only type there name exactly as they have it and press enter, this will ping them/let you know you are looking for them and if they are around they likely will contact you within a couple minutes please be patient and remember sometimes there is lag etc.
If you wish to speak privately with someone on the list you may click there name and then click where it says PM (personal message) this will open a new chat tab with just you and the person you are messaging, sometimes it is a good idea to ping them once you open the private chat if they are idle.
Okay so those are the basics to finding and using IRC hope it helps, now get out there and talk to someone.
If anyone has any questions the comments section is of course open or you can send a message to my inbox and I am available daily at my IRC channel #MrX from 2-5 game time give or take an hour.

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.
