Polska a Turcja
Pl
Podobno w czasie, kiedy Polska zniknęła z mapy Europy, to na dworze sułtana zawsze stało puste krzesło czekające na polskiego ambasadora, a podczas prezentacji dyplomatów dworzanie niezmiennie recytowali formułkę: "Poseł Lechistanu jeszcze nie przybył".
Eng
Probablly at the time when Poland disappeared from the map of Europe, at the sultan's courties there was always an empty chair waiting for the Polish ambassador, and during the presentation of diplomats, courtiers invariably recited the formula: "The Member of Lechistan has not yet arrived".
Pl
Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polska i Turcja utrzymują już od ponad 600 lat, ale nasze relacje były bardzo burzliwe. Rzeczpospolita prowadziła z Turcją liczne wojny na przełomie wieków i oba kraje były wielkimi wrogami.
Eng
Poland and Turkey have diplomatic relations for over 600 years, but our relations have been very turbulent. The Poland waged numerous wars with Turkey at the turn of the century and both countries were great enemies.
Pl
Jednak w czasie, kiedy ziemie Rzeczypospolitej zostały zagrabione przez trzy sąsiadujące z nami mocarstwa to właśnie Imperium Osmańskie było jedynym państwem, które oficjalnie nigdy nie uznało faktu zniknięcia Polski z mapy świata.
Eng
However, at a time when Poland's lands were plundered by three neighboring powers, it was the Ottoman Empire that was the only state that officially never acknowledged the disappearance of Poland from the world map.
Pl
Podobno w czasie rozbiorów na dworze sułtana władca podczas prezentacji dyplomatów zadawał pytanie: "A gdzież to jest poseł z Lechistanu?". Na co dworzanie odpowiadali: "Poseł Lechistanu jeszcze nie przybył". Na polskiego ambasadora zawsze czekało puste krzesło. Poza tym po rozbiorach Polski sułtan nie burzył budynku polskiej ambasady, zamykając go jedynie na klucz, który przechowywał w skarbcu - ostatni sułtan turecki oddał klucz przybyłym ambasadorom Polski po odzyskaniu przez naszą Ojczyznę niepodległości.

Probablly during the partitions at the court of the Sultan, the ruler during the presentation of diplomats asked the question: "And where is the MP from Lechistan?" To which the courtiers replied: "A Member of Lechistan has not yet arrived." An empty chair always waited for the Polish ambassador. In addition, after the partitions of Poland, the sultan did not destroy the building of the Polish embassy, only locking it with the key he kept in the treasury - the last Turkish sultan gave the key to the Polish ambassadors after our homeland regained independence.

Istnieją różne teorie na temat takiego postępowania Turków. Pierwsza z nich mówi o tym, że Austria i szczególnie Rosja od wieków rywalizowały z Imperium Osmańskim o hegemonię w regionie, i dlatego na dworze władcy padało pytanie dotyczące Polski - miało to rozwścieczać naszych zaborców.
Eng
There are various theories about this behavior of the Turks. The first of them says that Austria and especially Russia have been competing with the Ottoman Empire for hegemony in the region for centuries, and that is why the ruler's court asked about Poland - this was to enrage our invaders.
Pl
Druga teoria mówi o tym, że Turcja była pod wielkim wrażeniem zwycięstwa króla Jana III Sobieskiego pod Wiedniem w 1683 roku. I ponadto Turcy żywili do Polaków ogromny szacunek za to, że tak walecznie i odważnie bronili swoich przekonań religijnych i terytorium państwa.
Eng
The second theory is that Turkey was greatly impressed by the victory of King Jan III Sobieski at Vienna in 1683. And, moreover, the Turks had great respect for Poles for being so brave and boldly defending their religious beliefs and the territory of the state.
Pl
Poza tym Turcy wiedzieli, że po upadku Polski następnym celem ataku Rosji będzie Imperium Osmańskie. I tak zresztą się stało.
Eng
In addition, the Turks knew that after the fall of Poland, the next target of Russia's attack would be the Ottoman Empire. And so it happened.
Pl
W czasie zaborów to w Turcji działali polscy działacze niepodległościowi i był to kraj sprzyjający sprawie polskiej jako potencjalny sojusznik.
Eng
During the partitions, Polish independence activists were active in Turkey and it was a country favorable to the Polish cause as a potential ally.
Pl
Nasz narodowy poeta, Adam Mickiewicz, który organizował w Turcji polskie legiony i zmarł w Konstantynopolu (obecna nazwa to Stambuł), stolicy Imperium Osmańskiego, pisał tak:
"W czasach, kiedy żadne z państw nie sprzeciwiło się uciskowi Polski przez wrogich sąsiadów, jedynymi naszymi przyjaciółmi byli Turcy. Darzymy Turków przyjaźnią jako ten naród, który nie ugiął się przed naszymi wrogami i nie zaakceptował rozbiorów Polski."
Eng
Our national poet, Adam Mickiewicz, who organized Polish legions in Turkey and died in Constantinople (current name is Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, wrote: "At a time when none of the countries opposed Poland's oppression by hostile neighbors, our only friends were the Turks. We have friendship with the Turks as a nation that did not bow to our enemies and did not accept the partitions of Poland."
Pl
Bohaterem narodowym Turcji jest Polak, Józef Bem, często nazywany "bohaterem trzech narodów" - Polski, Węgier i właśnie Turcji. Był najwyższym dowódcą armii Imperium Osmańskiego.
Eng
The national hero of Turkey is the Pole, Józef Bem, often called the "hero of three nations" - Poland, Hungary and Turkey. He was the supreme army commander of the Ottoman Empire.
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.
