Day 54: Not a lot has changed, except the addition of a few countries and some ingame enhancements.
For the average two clicker, e-sim is a fairly straight forward game. You log in, work, train and fight, only to log off only to repeat this process for the next day. Fairly simple, easy, mundane and extremely boring, even by an e-sim player’s standards.
Look around yourself though, and you will see changes. World diplomacy is one of those things – one which incidentally affects where those clicks of yours are made, and how your damage affects the global map and position of countries and alliances.
This world started with a super alliance- SUP. A large number of European super powers joined together with the express purpose of nothing more than to have fun together. Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia and Sweden pillaged their way through initially and were largely successful in their aims of extending their spheres of influence and improving their economies substantially. In short, Europe was- and to a large extent- still is, SUP’s playground and looks likely to stay that way for some time to come. Well played SUP, Well played.
As is common, several other alliances also sprouted up to combat the mega alliance and to expand other countries’ influence globally and regionally. OGD is one of those alliances, which is particularly strong in the Western Hemisphere and the Far East, with its member states doing exceptionally well in those areas controlling large areas of North and South America as well as Southeast Asia/Australasia. With the amalgamation of GIP into OGD, OGD seems to have boosted itself considerably and looks to be a considerable challenge for the “super-alliance” SUP.
On the face of it: Not a lot has changed. E-sim has taken a predictable turn which one would expect in most MMPORGs: The formation of a super alliance; unity amongst the ranks of its enemies; loss of power for the super alliance (as it witnessed in Australia and recently in Hungary), and ping pong battles as the balance of power is restored among countries and alliances.
Yet, a lot has been lost to achieve this. Our world, which seriously had a shot to be a multipolar- and therefore much more multidimensional and exciting, is now a bipolar one. The daily battles seem to be turning mundane, both of the polar opposites have their “core” of strengths and battlegrounds where war is waged daily while several areas of the map are completely ignored – leading to boredom.
To all players of this great game, I urge you to think and to ponder. We may just have other options presented before us. Think, ponder, discuss and ACT. You never know, the next great strategist may be born and we may still have a chance of a much more exciting world.

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.
