Looking at the current state of our warfare, and our economy things are going increasingly well. We have overpowered other strong countries and our economy is flourishing. However I, and many others, have seen times where we as a nation have been over powered by other countries such as Taiwan or, as Suna is currently experiencing, domination by Mali. I do not want to see this happen and as such I believe the only real option is to bolster our government's funds. In order to do this I have a fairly simple plan that I believe will help boost our countries power even more. In the territories owned by the USA right now we have High Oil, High Iron, and High lumber, as well as two medium grains, a medium diamond, and a medium lumber. I propose that on these resources we put a higher import tax. Obviously the resources that we have a High level on we will tax more than those with just Medium. As well as raising taxes to gather more funds for our government, we will also be promoting the American economy by giving American companies reasons to buy American made raw resources rather than outsourcing to other countries. Furthermore it will hopefully attract other companies to America, once other companies realize American companies are spending less and less on their materials because they are foreign they will hopefully come to our land to resume sales.
Now, accompanying these import tax hikes, we could also lower the income tax for American companies that are producing these raw materials as a way to try and keep everyone happy. This also means that with each pay check that an American worker gets, they will have more money left over to go out and spend, which helps citizens gain higher levels and higher leveled equipment which in turn helps America because all citizens will be better at fighting in our wars.
America is a country that is doing well, has done well, and I believe will always do well. However in order to keep it that way we need to act now and bank on the resources we have while we still can, otherwise our fate might be same as America's fate in Suna is right now. Bleak, dreary, abysmal, and just downright sad. Fellow Americans, fellow Congressmen, let us not only make our economy better, but also offer ourselves safety. Urge all Congressmen to help me pass this legislation. Don't let their personal greed get in the way. Do what's right for America.

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.
