President Kim Il Sung, father of the Korean nation, passed away in 1994. Availing itself of this opportunity, the US became ever more pronounced in their attempt to launch a military offensive against the DPRK and put persistent pressure on it in the political, economic, ideological, cultural, diplomatic and other fields in a bid to stifle it.
Worse still, the Korean people had to undergo the “Arduous March” and forced march due to severe shortages of food, fuel and electric power caused by recurrent natural disasters.
Chairman Kim Jong Il established Songun politics as the main mode of his politics as the Korean people were building socialism in the face of imperialists’ encirclement and their military threat. He defined the KPA as the main force of the revolution and led it to set an example for the whole country in all work and make a breakthrough in the van of socialist economic construction.
Under the slogans “Let us take upon ourselves both national defence and socialist construction!” and “When the Party is determined, we can do anything!” the KPA service personnel performed miracles in the efforts to build power stations and other monumental structures and realign the land across the country and bring about the country’s prosperity and the people’s well-being.
Kim Jong Il called the spirit displayed by the KPA service personnel the revolutionary soldier spirit and ensured that all sectors and units emulated the spirit and that the service personnel and people pooled their efforts to break through difficulties and effect a fresh upswing in the revolution and construction.
The Korean people braved all difficulties and ordeals under the slogan “Let us go the thorny path cheerfully!” They launched the movement to build small- and large-sized power stations on a large scale so as to solve the issue of great strain on power generation. True to the WPK’s policies of launching seed revolution and bringing about a radical turn in potato farming and double cropping, fresh changes were witnessed in the agricultural sector. All the fields of feudal structure across the country were standardized into large ones and several gravity-fed waterways were built, with the result that the irrigation network in the countryside was improved at a higher level.
A large number of stock farms, poultry farms and fish-breeding farms provided with hi-tech facilities mushroomed in different parts of the country. Vigorous efforts have been made to put the steel- and iron-making industry on a modern basis. Many light-industry bases, including condiment factories, have been newly built or renovated on the basis of latest technologies. The young Koreans built the 40-km-long Youth Hero Road between Pyongyang and Nampho, displaying their heroic mettle to the world.
The scientists and technicians have made eye-opening achievements in basic science, life science, information engineering and other sectors. In particular, they succeeded in the satellite launch and nuclear tests respectively on two occasions, thus demonstrating the might of Juche Korea.
Thanks to Songun politics, solid foundations have been laid for realizing the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea. As top priority has been given to building up the country’s military capabilities, the schemes of the US and south Korean bellicose forces to start a new war on the Korean peninsula were frustrated at every step and the peace and stability in the region ensured. This being the situation, the inter-Korean summit was made in June 2000 for the first time in the history of Korea’s division, at which the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, a milestone for Korea’s reunification, was adopted. It resulted in bringing about the thrilling June 15 era of reunification when the Koreans in the north and the south, who had been in hostile confrontation with each other, joined hands for unity and reunification under the ideal of By Our Nation Itself. 2007 witnessed another inter-Korean summit, which produced the October 4 Declaration, an action programme for the June 15 Joint Declaration.

Después del fallecimiento de Kim Il Sung, Líder paternal de la nación coreana en 1994, Estados Unidos se empeñó con frenesí en estrangular a Corea intensificando más que nunca la ofensiva militar contra este país y a la vez ejerciendo de modo tenaz presiones sobre todos los dominios político, económico, ideo-cultural y diplomático. Para colmo de males, las sucesivas catastróficas calamidades naturales le causaron a Corea la escasez de alimentos, combustibles y energías, por lo cual su población se vio obligada a emprender la Marcha Penosa y la forzada.
Dado que se debía construir el socialismo en medio de la amenaza militar y el asedio por parte del imperialismo, Kim Jong Il tomó la política de Songun como la principal modalidad política. Definió al Ejército Popular como fuerza medular de la revolución e hizo que el ejército, siendo el ejemplar en todas las labores, abriera brecha para la construcción de la economía socialista.
Los militares, aun en condiciones difíciles, levantando en alto las consignas “¡Encarguémonos tanto de la defensa de la patria como de la construcción socialista!” y “¡Si el Partido decide, lo cumplimos!”, lograron ascensos en la edificación de grandes monumentos como principales centrales hidráulicas y el acondicionamiento de tierra cultivable, mientras se encargaron de importantes sectores de la economía nacional en aras de la prosperidad de la patria y el bienestar del pueblo.
Kim Jong Il denominó el espíritu que se creó y manifestaba ampliamente en el seno del Ejército Popular como el espíritu revolucionario del militar e hizo que todos los sectores y unidades lo asimilaran con el fin de superar las situaciones difíciles con la fuerza mancomunada de los civiles y militares y traer grandes auges en la revolución y su construcción.
El pueblo coreano, con la consigna enhiesta “¡Aunque el camino es duro, vamos sonriendo!” venció obstáculos y penas. En virtud del enérgico movimiento masivo por satisfacer la apremiante demanda de la electricidad, se levantaron muchas centrales de grande, mediano y pequeño tamaños. En la agricultura, en fiel acato a las orientaciones del Partido sobre las revoluciones en la semilla y el cultivo de papas y sobre la doble cosecha al año produjeron nuevos ascensos. A lo largo y ancho del país las tierras mínimas, herencias de la sociedad feudal, se convirtieron en grandes parcelas estandarizadas y se consumó la construcción de diversos canales de riego por gravedad, perfeccionando así en más alto nivel la irrigación en el campo. Se crearon muchas granjas ganaderas, piscifactorías y plantas avícolas equipadas con las técnicas de punta. Además se promovió activamente la modernización en la industria siderúrgica y acería, y en todas partes del país se construyeron y renovaron a base de los adelantos técnicos numerosas fábricas de alimentos básicos y otras de industria ligera. Los jóvenes, al construir la Carretera Juventud Héroe (Pyongyang-Nampho) de 40 kilómetros, demostraron su temperamento heroico. Los científicos y técnicos lograron relevantes éxitos en la ciencia básica, la de vitalidad, la informática y otros dominios y con los éxitos en el lanzamiento de satélites y pruebas nucleares pusieron de pleno manifiesto ante el mundo el poderío de la Corea de Juche.
La política de Songun hizo posible preparar un sólido cimiento para lograr la reintegración nacional de forma independiente y pacífica. Al concederse la primacía en reforzar el poderío militar del país, se frustraron a cada paso los intentos de Estados Unidos y las fuerzas belicistas surcoreanas por provocar una nueva guerra en la Península Coreana, y se aseguraron la paz y la estabilidad en esta región. Entre tanto, en junio de 2000 se celebró el Encuentro Cumbre Norte-Sur, primer evento de su especie en la historia de división nacional, y se dio a luz la Declaración Conjunta Norte-Sur del 15 de Junio, un jalón para la reunificación de Corea. De seguida, se abrió una emocionante época denominada con la referida fecha, en que el Norte y el Sur que llevaban relaciones de enemistad y confrontación por más de medio siglo aspiraran a la cohesión y reunificación estrechándose las manos bajo el lema de Entre nosotros, los connacionales, y tuvo lugar en 2007 otro encuentro cumbre Norte-Sur dando lugar a la adaptación de la Declaración del 4 de Octubre, una plataforma práctica de la Declaración Conjunta del 15 de Junio.

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.
