It is an important day for me today, so I wanted to tell you about it, if you would care to listen to me. I won't be bothering you for too long. I'll be as short as I can, in fact.
I'm a little no-name, so you can call me that. No-name. I am fourteen years old. Fourteen and a bit more, in fact. I should be celebrating my fifteenth birthday in about nine months - by the end of this year. I'm not going to, however. Well, not the way you all do it, at least.
You see, my Mommy and Daddy have always loved each other much, much, much. Fourteen years ago, some time before this day of year, their love became so strong, that they decided to create something that would be theirs to cherish, to pour their mutual love into this creation. So they decided to give birth to a child - to me.
Now, maybe you don't know what this magical word means - "birth"... You see, when Mommy and Daddy love each other as much, they send a letter to Storks. One of them comes, and Mommy and Daddy tell it that they want a baby. Then the Stork flies far, far away, to bring the baby to Mommy and Daddy. And it is so far away that the Stork returns only after whole nine months! And the baby is wrapped in a white sheet, and the Stork takes it with its beak, and flies back. And when the baby is brought to Mommy and Daddy, they are so merry, and they kiss the baby on the cheek and they love each other even more. And that's what birth means.
So my Mommy and Daddy wrote a letter to the Storks. And a Stork came, and flew away and promised to be back with me in nine months.
But, you know, it never did... As it flew high in the sky in a hurry, to bring me to Mommy and Daddy as soon as can be, on this day, fourteen years ago, it flew straight into a dark, scary angel, called Merciful Angel.
Maybe you don't know what "merciful" means, either. Neither do I, but I think it means that someone doesn't like babies and stops the Storks from bringing them to Mommy and Daddy. Because, this scary angel made my Stork vanish. He also did that to my Mommy and Daddy. And I could hear it laughing from far, far away, where I waited for my Stork that never came. And it was an evil laugh. You know how scary it sounds when the lightning strikes? That is just the way it sounded. And it echoed with many, many screams and crying. And this Merciful Angel thought and still thinks that it prevented me from reaching my Mommy and Daddy. But... Hey... Come closer. I need to whisper something in your ear. Don't tell it: the evil angel does not know that even if it stopped me from coming to my Mommy and Daddy, it sent them to me, instead. And we are together. With all the other children whose Storks never came. And we are preparing for my fifteenth birthday already.
Thank you for listening to me. I am doing great, I am happy. I just wanted you to remember me. Me, and my Mommy, and my Daddy. And all my little friends. May your own angels watch over you, and keep you safe from the harm the evil Merciful Angel brings. Farewell! I love you 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.
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.
