Fact: The e-sim nation of Ireland was given a High Iron region, arguably the most powerful region in this game.
Reality: Ireland never actually tried to manage said Region or implement a strategy to helps it's people benefit from this strong starting position.
The puppet, PTO'ed nation of Ireland long ago conceded it's high region due to ineffective leadership, misguided strategy and downright awful negotiating. High regions are difficult to maintain by a small nation but usually go to the high bidder. Said powerful, rich nation at least pays a "going rate" to rent the region.Ireland got nothing.Why?
Fact: Ireland has six home regions that it owns. Even with the High region occupied (plus land bridges) Ireland should maintain at least 2-3 regions.
Reality: Ireland is wiped and has been so for almost the entire length of the game. Why?
Portugal, the UK and the US (Ireland's border neighbors) are part of a strong alliance. When Hungarians PTO'ed Ireland they brought a separate political ideology that inclined them to a different alliance. Think how our neighbors perceived this threat. It is like a cancer within their alliance. Naturally they wished to erraticate the threat. They wiped Ireland and refuse to give it back so long as the Hungarians are in power. Under an Irish regime this would have never happened.
Fact: All countries must have economic and social programs in place in order to retain new citizens and encourage population growth.
Reality:The occupiers of Ireland have done nothing for the economy or new citizens. They create no social system to help new players stay.
In fact all the government publications are printed in Hungarian so that no Irish player can understand. They are not only discouraging growth but they are actively trying to oppress the minority population.
Fact: All nations, most specifically those who are occupied, need to have a comprehensive military plan.
Reality: The nation of Ireland has no Military plan and suffers from a sever lack of planning and organization.
There are never any battle orders (at least none in English). There is no determinable chain of command, no specific infrastructure and no attempt to organize and marshal troops to battle.Each soldier decides when/where he shall fight and receives supplies on an inconsistent basis.
Fact: Foreign relations is an area that small nations must excel in to balance out it's lack of force.
Reality:There is no diplomatic structure to keep Ireland relevant to it's neighbors.
Do we even have a Minister of Foreign Affairs? I have never seen any information about what Ireland is doing politically on the international stage. Our President signed a NAP with Portugal to regain regions. That was 10 days ago. Even that negotiation was so poor that we are going to *pay* for regions that our enemies don't want. Unnecessary regions are a DRAIN on the occupier. RW cost them damage, gold and supplies. That is why they hardly ever hold them (unless land bridge) except when they are trying to make a point.
Look at the issues my friends:
High Region: Lost
Homeland: Occupied
Political Freedom: Oppressed
Social Programs: Disgrace
New Citizens: Failed
Economy: Non-existent
Defense: Pitiful
Foreign Affairs: Upside-down
The government, Hungarians occupiers have failed this nation. Did they even try? Do they even care? The answer is no. Look closely at all the adjectives used to describe the various programs/institutions. Do those not also apply to the entire nation?
I am calling on the government to change. We need congress to act on behalf of the people. Do the people in power care about anything other than their "friends"? Will they do anything for Ireland?

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.
