Thank you to those who sent suggestions in for the top 10.
Another HUGE week for India. They have been playing the exchange game with Indonesia for quite some time now, but it looks like Indonesia is finally starting to back away. All that India need to do is build up abit of an economy again, deploy some DS's and it looks like they will be able to hold off aggressors until the next coordinated VVV attack. Now they have a NAP with them for a few days. But with the occurrences around the rest of the e-sim world, methinks that India has abit of time on their hands!
Here is the deal, we all know the rivalry that exists in this game, especially in the media world. Propaganda is spread like crazy, and artful trickery is done on a daily basis. For instance, everyone knows the automatic trolling that occurs in my articles by South Korea, but then the next second, I'm having a great conversation with some really key SK players (and I even had a great conversation with danyeo - I know, what!) about how we relish the fight and actively search each other out on the battlefield just because its enjoyable. We even flirted with the idea of how boring the game would be if a few of us guys all joined forces, yeah, geez that would be fair for everyone else having to go up against 70 spectators waiting to hit every t-2.
But the automatic trolling is something that is always going to exist. Why, because it is fun and part of the game! For me, the best summary of this automatic trolling is in this article!
A thing that did hit me was how you start hating ★ OwenHargreaves & ouzobat 's articles once you go against them. That means they are excellent columnists as well.
The other huge thing to hit the media stands this week was the number of top 6 articles by
Battle Alaska! I think that this was USA's best chance! The had won initiative, they had a few territories, another few with surround penalties, and in one of their most crucial battles ever they led 5-0.
Lithuania then steam rolled them for 8 consecutive rounds! Where was the rest of USA, where was the Federation support?
I'm not sure if this makes the top 10 for how great Lithuania and her allies did, or how much USA and her allies choked!
China and Finland get 'The Sledges' official thumbs up! Somewhat separated from the occurrences of this week, both China and Finland have just been slowly plucking away at their territories and wouldn't you know it, they have both nearly won back all of their regions. This was the ideal 'under the radar' operation that these nations were looking for, and they have come out as truly the big winners of this whole debacle.
Look carefully at this map. Notice anything unusual?
For the first time in about 250 days, nearly every nation appears on the esim world map! There are only 2 nations missing, Australia - which is rumoured to be getting its territories back pretty soon, and Tawian - which is becoming accepted as the greater empire of South Korea. This is fantastic, and it gives these players from these regions a sense of nationalistic pride.
So with that in mind, people have been suggesting a new project, called "Pingu!" In an attempt to get every single nation back on the map, lets get some Taiwan regions back for the natives. They could use a hand, and I'm sure the South Korean's would welcome the challenge rather than just another 100 days of covering other nations tail ends.
UWS has made some HUGE plays this week. Turkey has moved into Ukraine (formerly owned by Poland), they had a stab at Greece from the South, while Serbia moved into Greece from the North. As soon as this happened a flurry of anti-VVV articles came flying across the newsroom, and there was a war of words occurring in these articles. But as usual, Greece has come fighting back in typical VVV fashion with the unending support of their allies. But this is where I think that people are starting to enjoy the game. This isn't the one sided affair that the game once was, it isn't the David vs Goliath, or the College student beating up the elementary school kid! It's e-sim battles at its finest!
Every now and then, you see something that blows your mind! So, without further ado, I give you The Greek News . This writer definitely gets the persistence award of the week. Over the past 12 days he has posted his article on 6 different occasions.
As per his article:

Awesome! Nothing more to say!
Delta has made massive progress this week. NAP's between Brazil/Peru/Spain, Sweden has now taken back over Norway, Denmark will have all of its territories back in no time, and after the pressure placed on Lithuania in Latvia, a NAP has occurred there too.
But of more interest, was the whole Brazil/Per/Spain NAP. After Brazil and VVV held on to the fort for quite sometime, Spain started to breach the Brazilian core regions. This came after a super active week politically. Brazil offered NAP's to both Spain and Peru that were both rejected and from the VVV end, things seem to be falling apart. South Korea, perhaps the best support nation in esim stopped supporting Brazil after the Brazilian government failed to pay them for much needed DS's, failing to deploy them in time, and accidentally forgot to repay the South Korean CP for starting a much needed RW. I'm not sure what the next move is for Brazil or VVV in South America, but the tides are certainly starting to shift in the Amazon.
Practice Battles, Tournaments, Selling Gold, Medkits, Babyboom. Look, I'm 100% for promoting this game. It is fantastic and I'm sure we all spend far too much time on this game. Now, I have to be extremely careful about what I say here since pretty much every article alluding to this has been deleted. So, I will just present a few topics, in no particular order. As part of this, if you can figure out the order of these events, post it into the comments, first correct entry wins 1 gold.
1) Practice Battles announced - only lvl 8 and below can participate
2) Tournament announced - every participant on the winning side gets a medkit for each battle won
3) Poland announces elaborate plan to create enormous babyboom
4) Admin announces that Mass inviters can sell gold
5) Tournament structure announced - based on the average strength of active citizens.
I don't think that anyone can deny this weeks No.1 as being Poland leaving VVV. I think everyone can safely say that they are not sure what is really happening here. Until Poland makes an effort to push into extra territories, including their ex-alliance nation of Lithuania, I think that people are simply of the thought that Poland will just move back into VVV. Regardless, this has sparked a huge change all over the esim world and has created, what I think, has been the best week in secura history for all of its citizens. Battles have been occurring left/right/and center. VVV is still holding strong though on a majority of its territories, but nations from Delta and UWS are certainly making inroads.

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.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
