The past two weeks have showcased some examples of poor and damaging leadership within our country. From a largely inactive Congress, mass impeachments, and banned CP's, there are many aspects that need improvement. Every individual citizen in Britain deserves representatives that are responsible, committed, and accountable. (And perhaps leaders that can write in proper English as well!)
I have decided to become a candidate for Congress because I know I can provide these characteristics. I can't provide a catchy slogan or an abundance of vague rhetoric. But there are a few things that I will provide if I am elected:
Commitment. As a Congress member, I would vote on every single law that is proposed. This month's Congress has had a consistent issue with activity on votes which makes reform a slower and more difficult process. No matter the significance, if a law is proposed, I will vote on it. Since joining the UK in Europa, I have been as active as possible on the country's IRC channel (with the exception of the past three days as I've been travelling). If elected, I will continue to be active on the IRC and will be open to conversations with anyone of any status.
Transparency and accountability. Every single week I will post an article explaining my votes on every single bill. If I cannot explain why I voted a certain way, I should not be voting in the first place. If elected, I expect to be the most transparent and accessible member of Congress. An exceptional amount of thought and consideration will be going into every vote that I give.
Credibility. I was recently assigned to the position of Foreign Ambassador in the cabinet of Country President
tommy1boy . I will continue to serve in that role if I am elected to Congress. Back in my Primera days I served as an Ambassador for the United States and served a term in Congress in Ireland. On this server, I have quickly risen to level 11 and dealt nearly 4 million damage in two weeks. I have already reached the top 12 in the country in total experience and damage.
Policy. As a member of the Liberal Party, I will be protecting liberty. I will never support or vote in favor of a bill that reduces the individual freedom that citizens have a right to. I will never vote in favor of raised tax rates or more restrictive rules on players from new to experienced. Although I am running on a specific party's platform, my ideas and policies will remain my own and for the most part independent. I will have no hesitation on working with members of other parties when that is needed.
The position of Congressman exists for the elected individual to serve the public, and not the other way around. I can guarantee that you will not be able to vote for a more committed person to serve in this position. So if you support Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, or even Spurs, I encourage you to consider what separates me from other candidates and hopefully consider voting for me as well.

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.
