Mr President. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me today. For those that do not know you, what can you tell us about yourself?
I have been playing MMO games such as e-sim for 8.5 years now, giving me loads of experience in various aspects of the game through different roles. I am a total gamer and rock nerd when it comes down to it. You can always find me playing some video game or programming.
You have taken the decision to elevateFenlander from the Home Office to Defence. For someone who was in Govt for a very short space of time, and during these times of immense challenges on the Defence front, do you feel this was the correct decision to make?
The fact that we are in a war right now is exactly why I promoted
That he does. So now lets drill into some policies. The UK has recently radically changed direction, fom allying Indonesia to changing to Portugal and Overwatch. What made you take this bold decision?
What Indonesia was offereing us war little more than a temporary alliance until they decided they are coming for us next. Although this was a good deal, the emergence of a worldwide rebellion against them gave us more options to work with. After careful consideration, I decided that the UK was not going to lie down and let Inodnesia walk all over us, and instead fight back against their tyranny. From here, accepting the hand of friendship from Portugal was the next logical choice as one of the leading countries in the fight against Indonesia. Although unexpected in such a short time, we were invited to join Overwatch and I believed turning the change to join one the largest alliances in game would be an extremely bad idea.
When it comes to Defence, the previous administration created a stockpile of goods, gold and currency to be used in emergencies. Is this stockpile still being maintained, and will it be built upon in the current term?
Even with our current war, the stockpile has not been touched except to add to it. I cannot give exact numbers, but I estimate that we would have at least a few days of emergency supplies.
Do you plan on upgrading the Military Unit?
Right now the thought of upgarding the Military Unit has not been at the forefront of our minds, with the beginning of our war, however it is on our list of things to discuss over the coming week. I would love to be able to upgrade the MU to improve our bonus, but there are financial factors to consider first.
Finally Mr President, Turning to financial matters. Much of the previous administrations time was spent building up our finances following the 1st Icelandic War. What steps will be taken by the chancellor to build an international community of business in the UK.
Right now the Chancellor is producing and trading stock to get more money for the treasury, however due to the sheer amount of traders on the server, it is often difficult for one person to do. Our government plans to boost this income by increasing the amount of trading we can do by hiring a new Minister of Trade who will have the sole duty of creating and managing a large trade network. We will also be looking at possible ways to attract new businesses to the UK by changing the current taxes and wages to be more appealing.
PresidentDarkmantle , thank you for your time today.
Thank you
British Rag Reaction
What we can see from this interview is a President intending to get on with the day job. He does not intend on being a showmanship President, and wants to work behind the scenes of the UK. This is evident with the apparent lack of importance he puts on the role of Home Secretary. However well intended, the President must be careful not to neglect this position, and not to neglect informing the British people of major decisions and Government business. Theresa May did that, and we all know how that worked out.

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.
