First, a general response to Dav:
I have nothing against you being President. I think you are doing a fine job, and if we had a lot more democratic diversity, I would probably still vote for you. My point is, and has always been, the politics in this country (a country in a game meant to be a political simulator) is boring and needs a challenge. No one was rising to challenge the status quo, so in an effort to make things less dull, I have put myself forward.
Second, genuine concerns:
I mentioned in the previous article (which you probably ignored, and thus mentioned my lack of ideas) my genuine concerns with our nation. Militarily and globally, we are doing fine, but that does not mean we are doing as well as we could be doing. Empires and great civilizations were not made glorious by safe routes and neutral policies. Sometimes risks must be made.
This is where the misunderstanding comes into play. I am not a military minded citizen. I play this game as I like politics. War is trite. When I discuss policy changes, I mean social and economic. I am not encouraging hostility, alliance or conflict. Those can be discussed by people who care about that side of the module. My concerns are economic in nature.
Third, Dav's comment about writing articles on concerns:
That is exactly what I want people to do! And that is what I am doing now. Every democratic government must have an opposition, but currently - there is none. How can Good be proven without Evil? It can't. I agree with you, people must voice their concerns and ideas in articles - but at the same time, you are being a bit hypocritical. You state a need for people to take a more active role in politics, but at the same time get angry and passive aggressive when they disagree with you.
Fourth, to Reincarnate:
I already mentioned your accusation of my lack of ideas. I once again point to my previous article that spoke about our policy on economics. Please read it before accusing my article of being useless.
Thank you for reading. Regardless if you like it or not, I will continue to attempt to turn the UK into a genuine democracy.

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).
