Vedeli ste, že...?
1. Švajčiarsko je jedinou krajinou na svete, kde existuje priama demokracia? Po prijatí každého zákona majú švajčiarski občania presne 100 dní na to, aby zvolali referendum o danom zákone, pokiaľ sa im na tom niečo nepozdáva. Stačí im na to len 50 000 podpisov alebo podpora 8 kantónov (kantón = samosprávna oblasť, má svoju vládu, svoje zákony, svoje referendá, ale nič z toho nesmie byť v rozpore so švajčiarskými federálnymi zákonmi)
2. Vo Švajčiarsku býva najväčší počet referénd ročne? Celoštátne referendum sa koná zhruba 4x do roka, ale v každom je zahrnutých zhruba 4-5 otázok. Okrem celoštátneho referenda sa však občan môže zúčastňovať aj na kantonálnych či obecných. V priemere teda vychádza, že obyvateľ Švajčiarska môže každý rok rozhodovať až v 60 referendách! Len si skúste predstaviť, že by ste každý šiesty deň rozhodovali o niečom dôležitom
. Napriek takému veľkému počtu býva volebná účasť zhruba 50%. Dokonca sa hovorí, že v tejto krajine sa uskutoční každý rok minimálne toľko referénd ako vo všetkých zvyšných krajinách sveta dokopy.
3. Pokiaľ sa narodíte a vyštudujete školy v jednom kantóne, no zamestnať sa chcete už v inom, musíte spraviť tzv. diferenciačné skúšky. Zamestnávateľ tak otestuje, či vaše znalosti zodpovedajú jeho požiadavkám. Je to ako keby sa narodíte v KE kraji, ale zamestnávateľ v BA kraji potrebuje zistiť či vás škola v inom kraji dostatočne vyučila.
4. Švajčiarsko je krajina, kde najdlhšie trvá vytvorenie zákona. Vďaka tomuto faktu vznikol aj výraz: Helvétska pomalosť. Prijatie zákona tam totiž bežne trvá 4-6 rokov. Aspoň vidíme ako sa líši e-sim od reality
Dúfam, že vás čítanie nenudilo, ale naopak ste sa naučili niečo nové a aspoň trošku vás to zaujalo. Nechcel som sa zbytočne obšírne rozpisovať, takže ak bude záujem, časom pribudnú aj pokračovania či už niečo ďalšie o Švajčiarsku alebo Rakúsku, ktoré sme už obsadili, alebo o krajine, ktorú si zvolíte vy
Schválne, koľko z tých 4 zaujímavostí ste vedeli pred prečítaním článku?

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.
