Article
To begin, I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I know the internet is definitely not the place to share private information, but here are some general and related tidbits. Firstly, I am 17 years old, male, and in my last quarter of high school. I will be attending college to hopefully get a Masters in Business Administration, with either a minor or major in Computer Science. I've also taken a serious interest in running for political office someday, but thats way in the future.
More related to E-sim, I played over a year ago on the Primera server, and ended up being a sort of russian millionaire. I had a decent fortune, but once I blew it all on a stock company that tanked, I did a rage quit (Silly 15 year old me). Now I'm excited to understand a whole lot more, and be leaps and bounds more mature that I was. My goals in e-sim for this time around would be to either be CEO of a stock company or get elected to Congress / President.
As a news service, I will be primarily focused on things outside of e-sim. Occasionally I may write a political piece or economical piece, but my main plan is to write about issues or events that interest me, and then follow up with responses to the comments you post on that article. To give you an idea, here are some thoughts for future publishings:
About E-sim
World Economics - In depth look
USA Economy - Suggestions for success
USA Politics - Where I think we should be headed
USA Politics - What I would do as a Congressman in recent votes and why
About the Real World
Future is Now - Reoccuring article where I highlight tech and social advances around the world
A World without Cash - Explanation of how I think the world could work with no money
Ask me Anything - A whole article dedicated to answering any questions you could have
Legalizing Marijuana - Why I'm still against it, kind of
Now these are just some ideas, with many more hopefully to come. Until then please V + S so I can get this paper rolling, and expect the first article very soon!

The Current eUSA Economy (10 years ago)
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.
