Things that have happened in October while I was at the helm of the Korean flagship (+ = positive, - = negative):
+Our population doubled. I didn't really do much to cause this other than edit a few sentences and make sure Scyfi used then/than in their proper places for his recruitment message, but I did answer a lot of dumb questions by new players so that has to count for something.
+We officially joined the SUP alliance, affirming the strong bonds we have built with our allies over the last month and also ensuring long-term security of our country despite being surrounded by enemies.
+We expanded and upgraded our free-to-join government military unit, ROK Armed Forces, to a 25-slot Regular rank unit (with gold in the tank to take it up to 30 slots) and started handing out 10 q1 weapons to all members every day (except for the last couple while we were occupied) to use at their own discretion.
+We redenominated our currency to increase purchasing power of the Won and decrease insertion of printed currency into the money supply. The transition was pretty pain free, and as long as people continue to follow the "First in, First Out" mentality by placing their currency on the market at 0.04 and waiting their turn, the likelihood of the rate increase ever causing actual damage to our economy is slim-to-none.
+Our IRC channel (#secura.sk on irc.rizon.net) grew to be one of the most populated country channels for all of e-Sim Secura. Seeing as how I have the ~, I'm taking credit for that.
+-This month's Congressional elections saw 40 candidates run for 20 seats. This meant the interest level in Korean politics increased this month (obviously because of the baby boom), but also meant more people couldn't get into Congress due to the 20-seat restriction. Sacrifices were made, some people complained, some people ragequit (hi2u Aurra), but in the end our Congress remained active and efficient, and that's all that really matters.
+Canada attacked and failed a few times. Maple syrup.
-Canada attacked and succeeded one time, occupying Chuncheon for all-of 22 hours. Maple syrup.
-We got three-way'd by the weak countries that surround us and wound up being totally occupied (mostly by choice).
+We were back on the map in 18 hours, partly because those three countries combine to do 75% of the damage Korea does by itself so their whole campaign was bound to fail from the start, but also because our allies are pretty damn awesome and spared no expense to ensure we recovered our territory in a timely manner.
+Good stuff I forgot about. Just assume good stuff is good.
+Good stuff I forgot about. Just assume good stuff is good.

-My communication kind of sucked at times, but I mean I'm more of a "do-er" than a "talker".
Things I want to make happen in November after you re-elect me:
¤·Drop some defense systems in our border regions so if/when our enemies invade again, we can just repel them from the get-go. No more occupation.
¤·Launch civil wars finally and attempt to emulate Malaysia's overwhelming success with generating revenue for their government (they're pulling in 300+ gold for their government per resistance war!).
¤·Build an opt-in commune system for ROK Armed Forces members that would supply them gifts and weapons every day (or every other day depending on interest/economy skill of those interested).
¤·Real Korean baby boom. Again, I probably won't play much of a role in this, but I'll be there to support
¤·Keep on rockin' with our allies and thwarting the Maple Syrup Menace when it attempts to ooze over our border again.
¤·Look into the expansion of the Korean empire, if you know what I mean.
¤·Impregnate
¤·Do better with communication (not really).
Why you shouldn't vote for my current opponent, (
¤·The only word he knows is "kra". Literally. Try and have a conversation with him, and all he will say is "kra kra" and that's it. So unless you speak 10 Guy, you have no idea what he's saying.
¤·Korea and marijuana can't coexist, therefore a president with 420 in his name would never work.
¤·Did I mention all he ever says is "kra"? Dude doesn't even own a newspaper, but if he did I bet that would be the name of it as well as the context of all his articles.
Alright, that's about it. I mostly wrote this so I wouldn't look like a hypocrite for asking everyone to write a presentation for Congressional elections, and then not doing it myself for Presidential elections. I'll close with a picture of fatesflysy showing you how many votes MrHolland420 is projected to receive this election:

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.
