Domestic Diplomacy
First and foremost, 80% of Diplomacy happens on IRC. If you want to be in on the domestic policy talks join Rizon IRC Network and /join #secura.sk .
Our President
Other common idlers are:
Polish Minister of Defense
Serbian President
Australian President
Norwegian President
And at times,
OGD Secretary General
USA Vice President
These men often talk in the channel and answer intelligent questions or respond to interesting inquiries. If you want to talk with the most powerful men in the game, GET IN IRC!
Our domestic policy has been one of solidarity. We are a small country that has a very active population base.
What strengths does having a small, active base possibly have? What weaknesses?
To answer these I will describe what we have now, and why it is vital to South Korea’s continued success.
We have (ideally) a one party system. You run on one political platform, and hope you are chosen by those senior members to represent our country. Why is this better than a two or three party system? Simple, speed.
Our economy does not make our government rich. Our government is only as strong as its 11th voter. A one party system allows debates to be decided in real time in IRC, not with the slow in game mechanics as people vote “yes” or “no” and we clumsily have back and forth on shouts. The one party system gives us the ability to instantly pass Defense System drops, funds moved to stabilize the MM, approve MPPs and change those evil taxes.
A two party system would allow these things to happen still, yes. But a one party system ensures that our next representatives are IRC active to allow us one of the few strengths we have… speed.
Lets say we do get an even 3 party split in the future of 6-7-7. We are all intelligent players here in eSK, so we would all play and get along, but what about in the case of war? Our 170 players split 3 ways would drown out our ability to do much coordination, especially if many of those leaders refused to use IRC. Only an ironhanded President could do much of anything with a split congress like this, and I do not believe there are many great Presidents that will babysit enough to pull it off.
Now to our actual domestic policy, we are a medium taxation, low protectionist nation. Our citizenship apps are over 50% accepted, our import taxes are low comparatively, our President communicates with moderate frequency in-game and with high frequency in IRC, and our congress communicates frequently in-game and frequently in IRC. I hope this continues in our next term and will work for that to continue.
Foreign Policy
We are currently Pro-Sup, with MPPs with Argentina, Lithuania, Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Turkey, Norway and Australia.
We have an open war with Canada that probably will not be closed anytime soon.
Around us, we have China being annexed by Lithuania, Taiwan’s Serbian PTO has left, Malaysia is on the map but desolate, and Russia occupied by Lithuania.
We are SUP’s Western Hemisphere snipers, and they treat us with respect because of that role. I advocate continued cooperation with SUP, and now that Lithuania is our close neighbor, it is nice to have such a powerful ally.
Unfortunately, that is all I can say on diplomacy for now. Thanks for reading.

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.
