Article
Before I start the next bullet point on my list of quantified things that must be spoken about, I would like to make a *quick* statement.
Few things are ever done without a purpose, and the articles that I’m writing certainly follow their own goal. My goal, as Mercurius and as citizen of Australia, is to inform Australia of the personal political tactics and facts I believe will bring the country up from the slump it’s in. That’s to say that I intend this article to reach as many willing Australians as possible, both the higher-ups and the newcomers, as both have a role to play. Take this to heart: If you are one of the citizens currently involved in Australia’s politics, whether from Congress, Presidency, or the Cabinet, I speak directly to you in everything I write. If you are from the higher ranks of a political party, I also speak directly to you. If you in any way, shape or form have a known presence within Australia, you are my main focus in these first few political discussion articles. Newcomers hold a special seat in my political conscience as well, yes, but as of right now I beg of those that I mentioned for their audience.
(above) Me.
Moving forward on our list of things to do:
2-Build community
Yep. Community. What does it exactly mean? Doesn't matter because I don't even know, but I do know that it's important for us as Australians to be united. Despite holding differing ideologies and political parties, it is still possible for all of us to band together for a main cause if we want to move forward. In fact, it is not only necessary for the country that we all join forces, but I can assure you all that it proves to be highly lucrative in the long run. The process of revitalizing the nation is a large-scale project. Life, history, and PSY’s international fame have proven to us that in order to make something big truly known and successful, several people are required. In large-scale projects such as these, everyone plays their own, contributing role, which may or may not vary in size depending on capability. In some instances, mere presence contributes perfectly. In others, the more powerful individuals may have to make positive use of their abilities.
(above) Still Me.
The underlying truth is this: A plan for national greatness, no matter how calculated and simplified for everyone’s participation, is useless if the people supposed to carry through the plan can’t come together to do so.
How do we come together more? Simple, really. Stop arguing and holding grudges back and forth along the dividing line drawn by the two political parties in Australia. You will be surprised to see how someone from Kangaroo Party might be similar and share the same views as someone in the Australian Party. In fact, we have grown to really misunderstand each other. Positive communication is the ultimate key to success in forging the strong community we really need. It is still possible to work together without agreeing, as well. It's the inability to find compromise and start on clean slates that really kills our ambitions and hinders anything else from happening.
Keep this all in mind for the near future!

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.
