Hello Australia! As I've recently been appointed congressman, I thought it would be a fine time to set out my political views for Australia and my ambitions for the future, with some explanation and detail. It'll probably take a few articles to spread out all that must be said, just because of something called the human attention span, but I hope it'll be something all may take into consideration upon reading.
First and foremost, I'd like to leave a big-word warning. Just happens to be the way words come out when I write. If you have any issues deciphering definitions, I see that Google or a Dictionary work just fine. If you don't have access to Google, then you probably don't have internet access and shouldn't be physically capable of reading this at the moment, and if you don't have a dictionary, then go to your local library, which probably does have internet access and Google, thus rendering the dictionaries futile. All issues with my diction and your dictionaries aside, let us proceed. I also think I should leave a sarcasm warning, but it's probably too late for that.

Now to actually begin the point of this article. The following is like a list of what I'd to see in Australia, it's politics, and its community. Without further ado, we begin:
1-Quantify (just about) Everything
To measure and analyze things like community-building, economic growth, population growth, military growth, political party relations, demographics, foreign relations (which include alliances, partnerships, and international correspondences), war, etc. it is necessary to break things down and exploit the information derivable. Setting these rough sample categories up in itself is an amazing idea, and whoever thought of doing that probably deserves more credit, but back to the point. If we want to succeed in every aspect, we need to succeed in understanding and studying the political theory behind the game. Rough categories boil down to smaller details, much like small gears make up near-perfect clockwork. Large goals are accomplished through small steps, and this is exactly the philosophy we must follow to achieve large ambitions, unless we'd rather blindly try to reach certain goals in vain and end up complaining of failures.
The points to follow focus on some of the categories mentioned above in better detail.

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).
