Turkan Soray (Türkân Şoray) was born June 28, 1945 in the capital of Turkey - Istanbul, in an ordinary family. Her father - Halit Soray worked ordinary employee, her mother Meliha Soray was a housewife. In his memoirs, Turkan Soray told: "I was born into a poor farming family and never expected to become a famous actress". She has one younger sister Nazan, who is also an actress in her own right but is nowhere near as famous as Turkan. After the birth of her younger sister, Turkan's parents divorced and the custody of the children was given to the mother. Turkan Soray graduated from Fatih Girls' High School attending both the middle and intermediate grades.
Turkan Soray in childhood
In 1960, the Turkan's family rented a house in Karagümrük (district of Istanbul). The girl did not even think about the acting career. Once on the street she was approached by a writer, director and owner of the studio Nevzat Pessen. He asked her, "Do not you want to to act in films?". After that Turkan incredibly scared and did not answer a word, ran home. Nevzat Pessen was so struck by the beauty of the girl that came to her mother for permission to take off Turkan in the movie. Thus, by happy coincidence, the 15-year-old girl made her debut in the film Aşk Rüzgarı (Wind of Love). The film became a successful and critical acclaim, and the acting career of the Turkish beauty started.
Over the next five years, Türkan appeared in more than sixty films. Türkan Şoray quickly became popular, and over time - and professional skills. She was equally successful in tragic and comedic roles. After 1965 was marked by her loudest triumph, she began to enter the fourth quarter of the most leading and famous actresses of Turkey. But it was also the year when her career was at a standstill. The roles of the Turkan were quite stereotypical and monotonous, with the same plot and role, and this did not attract the viewer, thereby harming her vivid glory. This served as a very unpleasant circumstance for Turkan, for many directors soon began to reject her candidacy. But Turkan Shorai turned out to be a very strong and strong-willed woman, she knew perfectly well that she alone would not help herself with some emotions and despondency, so all the senses had to be taken under strict control, gathering all will into a fist, moving on. And suddenly she gave her demands, which became more known as the "Şoray Terms". It will work only if the studios and directors obey the following requirements, some of them are known to have come;
-She has to be given the script no later than a month before shooting is to start, and if she disapproves of anything in it, changes have to be made or she does not accept the role.
-Films in which she has performed could be filmed only in Istanbul, as she does not and cannot leave the city.
-She does not work on Sundays.
-Due to her character, she never kisses someone.
And it's not strange, "Shorai's Terms" were noticed, the directors again began to invite her to their films. During the second half of the 60's, she starred in another 48 films, which made her one of the most successful women in Turkey. Thus, over 10 years she has appeared in more than 100 films. Turkan received the nickname "Sultana", since she was the most popular actress of Turkish cinema, it was the golden time of the Turkan. But, unfortunately, nothing lasts forever; Times change, younger and more demanding actresses come to the role, and the audience is already beginning to be interested in completely different story lines in films, more modern and non-standard ones.
In 1972, the talented actress first appeared as a director, putting the film "Return" and playing the main role in it. The second directorial work of Turkan Shorai is "Suffering" (1974), where she also plays a major role. In 1976, Turkan Shorai delivered another film - "Asla and Daima". As a result, Turkan Shorai played about 200 roles in the cinema. In the USSR, the actress became known after the release of the Soviet-Turkish film "My Love, My Sorrow", based on the novel by Nazim Hikmet, in which the leading role of Mehmen Manu played. The Soviet filmmakers also liked the film based on Chingiz Aitmatov's novel My Poplar in a Red Headscarf, where Turkan also performed the main role. On March 12, 2010, Turkan Shorai was selected as the Goodwill Ambassador of UNESCO, Turkey, she said in her interview: "I think there is nothing better than love in this world." Thanks to the great power of love and compassion, we can unite and overcome any problems " One of the schools in Turkey is named after the famous actress "Şoray''.
Turkan was awarded many times with the most honorable awards: four times in the nomination "Best Actress" at the Antalya Film Festival, for her directorial debut with the Big Prize at the Moscow Film Festival, nomination "Best Actress" at the Tashkent Film Festival, honorary awards at the Istanbul and Rome Film Festivals.

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.

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.
