***Cue awesome song for Presidential speech. How about "I'm the One by Static-X"***

My Brothers, my Sisters, my Blood, thank you for your support!
(Yes, that was a steal from Disturbed. Sorry, but it fit)
Time to get this show on the road!!!
Cabinet Update:
In RL I've worked for organizations that are designed with a paramilitary hierarchy and I've seen it can be even MORE damaging to have too many leadership roles than not enough. That said, I'm not going to create a large Cabinet with several titles in it. There's already confusion as to where decisions are/should be coming from. Starting this morning, that's done.
President:Mike Rotch Vice President:Mattatron Minister of Defense:Mattatron Minister of Immigration: OPEN SEAT - Mike Rotch until filled
The Daily Meow (newspaper): This newspaper. It is the formal newspaper for Canada at this time. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss anything. Voting never hurts either.
To define these roles (some countries are different and I created a new one)
President: Pretty obvious...
Vice President: If President has an extended absence, Vice President will take the place of the President until his return
Minister of Defense: Role also doubles as military adviser to the President. The MoD will give battle orders. These orders at times may be found in the country chat so don't forget to check it often. MoD will announce which battles to participate in, when to hit, how to hit, and direct tanks as needed
Minister of Immigration: In charge of recruiting citizens to immigrate to Canada and ensures that they are not a threat to national security. Writes articles, uses a variety of IRC channels, in-game messages other citizens.
Minister of Immigration opening
Anyone interested in taking on this task can PM me for consideration. Tell me how you would implement your plans to create a baby boom in Canada. Be detailed and don't tell me something that you can't/won't do. This is a time extensive role that also requires great communication skills. Multilingual is a plus (use of Google Translate does NOT constitute multilingual ). Minister of Immigration can name one or two people to assist since one person will not be able to do it. Assistants to be approved by CP or VP first...
I'd like this position filled in the next two or three days. In the meantime, I will be assuming the role, although a bit passively at first since there is a lot to get done.
Military coordination
In the last two weeks there have been around six people to give military orders. That practice ends today. Mattatron is the MoD. I have chosen him because he knows what he is doing and is in regular contact with a lot of other nations. National military orders are to be taken from either him or myself. Don't take this as being ruled with an iron fist. This is coordination and clarity. We can't have several people, some of which are completely misinformed, making orders.
eCanada Forum
This is currently in the works. Expect to see a new forum for Canadians where we can discuss important country matters and where our Congress can come together to discuss topics. Proposals should not be made out of absolutely nowhere. They should be laid out and discussed in a forum with a subsection for Congress members. Randomly putting out proposals and hoping the coin toss goes in your favor isn't the way Canada, or any other country, should be run.
Once we have a new and hopefully active Congress, I definitely hope to see all of you at the forum. I understand that forums typically are dead, but let's try it anyway. Maybe we can set a trend for being on top of things.
In Closing...
Thanks everyone for the support. You can PM me anytime or hit me up on IRC. I know that a whirlwind of changes are about to occur and sometimes that puts people off. I have two weeks to try and rebuild a structured system and I plan on using that time wisely. I'm sure many of you understand. Some of you might be doubting the changes, but give them a chance and let's see what we can do!
Mike out y'all.
***Cue closing song: In My Projects by Coo Coo Cal (because soon it will pay to play for a day up in our projects)***
Oh, and Susan Coffey will be my secretary. You can leave messages with her. VP Mattatron hasn't selected a secretary yet but when he does we will be sure to inform you.
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
