What do we want in a democracy? Do we want leadership; stability? Maybe we want an authority figure who will aid in the fulfillment of our own agenda. When one goes to the polls, no individual’s thoughts are exactly the same.
So what is a healthy democracy? All government systems have leaders, and it can be said that there are alternatives that provide a much better state of stability and authority. By this, Democracy is neither unique nor beneficial, but Democracy is not about government. It is not about a mere vote placing power in the hands of a monopoly. It is not about what leaders we place above ourselves, but more by the process in which it happens, and how we act as citizens.
True democracy is about participation. It is about people. No leader can give you democracy. Your power is not a right given by any state, but by your own actions. Societies fail and dictatorships rise because people do not use these rights that they supposedly have. Voting must not be the only job of a citizen, but the bare minimum.
Even outside of election time, even if you hold no political position, you must keep exercising your democratic responsibility. Campaign for your party, analyze and critique the government, lobby for laws that you believe will benefit your nation.
The President is the Head of State, but we the people are the State. The Congress and Cabinet may implement law, but we must be one the ones to propose that law. It is, after all, by the virtue of our vote that they have been elected at all.

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.
