Those of you coming from the first server please just quickly sub & vote. This stuff is for real noobs.
If you've just arrived from that vast and unknown something we, s-scientists call the 'real world', please read on. You might or might not profit from reading this guide, but hey, what's the cost of giving it a try?
First things first
I'm pretty sure you've already been told to work & train. I'm pretty sure you've already worked & trained. So I won't tell you to work and train, I'm telling you to do that everyday for 30 days, and I promise you that after that incomprehensibly long time you'll be strong, rich and your hair's gonna shine like the sun. Or the two medals and the 10 Golds you'll get for that.
But you'll need to return to do so, so please,bookmark this freaking site, remember your password, and come back tomorrow.
Your first few days will be rather boring. Admins don't trust you not being a multi-account of a cloner, so they won't give you your starting capital (5 Golds, plus 2 if you joined through a reflink) until you hit Level 7 (200 experience points). Clones reach that almost without exception - most real newbies don't.
So if you want to actually start the game,focus on those 200 experience points. Understand how you gain experience points. If you can read, read the relevant e-Sim Wiki page . If you can't you're still gazing into the sad eyes of poor Marvin up there, and wonder what these little black ants down here are for.
To cut it short, given you've worked and trained and bothered to upload an avatar, you have 14 XPs and haven't used your 50Health points yet. So do use them. Fight.Find a battle you can fight from your current location (either as a citizen of one of the sides, or of any allies to them). Fight until you'll have lost all your Health points. Thenbuy Food on the Product Market and refill your Health by eating it (go, find "Eat food" on the top box on the right side of the screen.
Each units of food will refill 10 Health points per Quality (Q1, Q2 etc.). Since you can only eat 10 pieces of Food a day, look at the prices, go and calculate how you can get the most Health from what you can afford.
Once you've refilled your Health, go and fight again, and gain more XPs. Repeat until your Food limit or money is spent.
Check your XPs and sit back, you're done with the so-called Daily Routine. Read articles, go and find your community on IRC (again reading the wiki is a nice start), and start thinking about how you can be wiser, more successful, more handsome and generally more awesome than the author of this article. (No way, however hard you'll try mate, no way!)
And now be a good girl/guy find those two blue buttons up there,subscribe to my paper and vote my article, because I'm greedy and I want a Media Mogul Medal .
Kisses and hugs,
Zaphod Beeblebrox, almost the first US president .

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.
