I think that this idea is well overdue. Alliances should be integrated into the game, with many features and bonuses that come to play as you join an alliance and even upgrade alliances.
Features of an alliance:
- Bonus to fighting when fighting for the alliance orders
- Alliances can be upgraded just as military units are, but the upgrades cost A LOT more.
- Slots for members of the alliances will work just as military units do, with it costing A LOT to expand a slot.
- Supreme General (president of alliance) is elected through voting of the country presidents that are apart of the alliance.
- Staff elections, other leaders of the alliance (kind of like the congress of the alliance)
Let's begin with some interface changes.
In this picture, a whole new area of battles is made just for the alliance that your country is in.
In this picture, a new tab is set up specifically for your alliance.
In this picture, a dropdown is made and many tabs added for the alliance that link to new pages.
In this picture, the information page is shown.
This is the picture of what the alliance page might look like, very similar to the military unit page.
In these pictures I have shown a lot of what might go into the alliance module, as I think that there are many good things that could come out of this.
When your alliance is starting to fall apart, any country presidents that are in the alliance can propose a "Dissolve Alliance" act where the alliance is labelled "DEAD", the total value is split up among each country evenly, and the alliance is added to a archive of "DEAD" alliances where players can view the old alliances of the game. This vote will require 2/3s of the countries to agree on the ending of the alliance. When an alliance is in the archives, it is labelled with a big red "DEAD" label on it, but it contains the same information that it did right before it was dissolved.
However, when the alliance is dissolved, it will lose 25% of the value forever, so that only 75% of the alliance will be split up among the countries that are members of it. Instead of it being divided evenly, maybe the value would be divided by the amount of citizens in the country, or the amount of damage that country did for the alliance. That way, more alliances will let in smaller alliances.
I've been thinking about it, and I think that missions would be a great idea. We need more things to do daily rather than just work, train, fight. The missions of course will not be able to be auto-completed by spending gold, and will give fair rewards. Some rewards would be, weapons, food, XP, and even gifts or tickets. Another reward could be increasing your economy skill. Missions would add a whole new aspect of the game to accomplish, and it would make it more fun for everyone. Missions would be updated weekly, with new missions each time.
Example Missions:
Travel to: USA, Poland, Russia, and South Korea.
Reward: 2 Q5 Tickets, 15 XP
Experienced Fighter
Fight at least 1 time 3 days in a row.
Reward: 25 Q1 Weapons, 25 XP
Determined
Work and train 5 days in a row
Reward: 0.1 Economy Skill, 10 XP
Fighter
Use 100 Q1 weapons in one day.
Reward: 30 Q1 Weapons, 35 XP
Mission Master!
Complete each mission this week
Reward: 50 XP
I think that these missions would help make people want to play more, and give them more things to do each day. Also, I think that there should be 5 missions per week, and at the start of every week, 5 new missions are added. Also, there should be a missions button in the interface on the left because the "My Places" tab has too many tabs already. Example picture:
I think that adding a biography wouldn't be a top priority in the game, but have you always wanted to have a message on your profile that others could see? A place to find out more about you, find information, or even if the player doesn't want you to message him. These things can be possible if a biography is added to the player profile.
Example picture:
Click for bigger size
In this suggestion, I am suggesting that we improve the market place to be better looking and more easy to use/more professional looking. In the example image below I have changed a few things around. Instead of clicking a dot below the item, you could click the item and it would highlight and then at the bottom you could click which quality you want and it could highlight. Also, instead of having just a sentence with a hyperlink that links to another page, i.e the Post new offers part, I have changed it to a button much like other buttons in that game, so that it looks more nice/professional.
This is just an example of many graphical parts of the game/interface could be updated/changed.
Example image:
The "Any" button is selected and the "Quality 1" button is selected.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you like the ideas.

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.
