Hundreds of mourners gathered around the largest personal money vault in the South Korea today to mourn the loss of famed, eccentric billionaire Scrooge McDuck. According to sources close to the McDuck family, McDuck set up a diving board atop his vault and attempted to go swimming in the sea of gold doubloons, coins, and cash. McDuck broke his neck in several places, causing almost instant death (an autopsy revealed that the noted adventurer attempted a half-gainer). McDuck was discovered several days later by The Beagle Boys, a notoriously unsuccessful group of bank robbers and thieves. After being thwarted by local police officer/hero Gizmoduck, the group noticed a limp McDuck lying on top of a pile of money.
“Mr. McDuck had been acting strangely for several days after he went to see the ‘Diving Extravaganza’ at the Duckporium last week” stated Ms. Beakly, McDuck’s long-time maid. “He kept saying strange things like ‘Do you think it’s possible to swim in gold?’ and ‘Do you think Michael Phelps ever swam in gold’ and ‘I’m going to go take a dive into my gold.’”
The case has been under remarkable scrutiny given the vast amount of wealth McDuck amassed during his tumultuous lifetime. Investigators say that estranged brother Donald is their prime suspect in a possible murder case. “We have been unable to locate Donald for questioning” said Gizmoduck. “The fact that Mr. McDuck’s last will and testament does not include his brother, seems a bit suspicious.” Authorities believe that a plot to kill McDuck was not out of the ordinary and described earlier foiled attempts by Flintheart Glomgold and Magica DeSpell. Glomgold is currently serving 25 to life at Pluckingdale Penitentiary.
McDuck is survived by his brother Donald (not pictured), his niece Webbigail, and his nephews Huey, Dewie and Louie.

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.
