一位一生行善無數的基督徙，他臨終前有一位天使特地下凡來接引他上天堂。天使說：「大善人，由於你一生行善，成就很大的功德，因此在你臨終前我可以答應你完成一個你最想完成的願望。」
大善人說：「神聖的天使，謝謝你這麼仁慈。 我一生當中最大的遺憾就是：我信奉主一生，卻從來沒見過天堂與地獄究竟長得像什麼樣子？在我死之前，您可不可以帶我到這兩個地方參觀參觀？」
天使說：「沒問題，因為你即將上天堂，因此我先帶你到地獄去吧。」
大善人跟隨天使來到了地獄，在他們面前出現一張很大的餐桌，桌上擺滿了豐盛的佳餚。
「地獄的生活看起來還不錯嘛！沒有想像中的悲慘嘛！」大善人很疑惑地問天使。
「不用急，你再繼續看下去。」
過了一會，用餐的時間到了，只見一群瘦骨如柴的餓鬼魚貫地入座。每個人手上拿著一雙長十幾尺的筷子。 每個人用盡了各種方法，嘗試用他們手中的筷子去夾菜吃。可是由於筷子實在是太長了，最後每個人都吃不到東西。
「實在是太悲慘了，他們怎麼可以這樣對待這些人呢？給他們食物的誘惑，卻又不給他們吃。」
「你真覺得很悲慘嗎？我再帶你到天堂看看。」到了天堂，同樣的情景，同樣的滿桌佳餚，每個人同樣用一雙長十幾尺的長筷子。
不同的是，圍著餐桌吃飯的是一群洋溢歡笑，
長得白白胖胖的可愛的人們。
他們同樣用筷子夾菜，不同的是，他們餵對面的人吃菜。而對方也餵他吃。因此每個人都吃得很愉快。
天堂與地獄的區別在於與人相處的態度。

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.
