The groves were silent, only Wiga's wheeze and crunch under her boots disturbed tranquility, as she waded knee deep in the snow. Being exhausted by effort and lost in her thoughts, the little girl, wrapped in thick winter coats, didn't pay attention to her surroundings. She weren't aware of buzzards circling high above, she didn't see the fox diving in the snow, and she didn't notice the grey shadow which followed her.
Only when it, all of a sudden, stood just in front of her. Wiga halted. 'A wolf!' she wanted to shout, but no voice left her lips. She wanted to run away, but not a single move she could made. Frozen with fear, only her heart was pounding.
It was a wolf, indeed. What's more, a large, majestic one, living only in tales of old hunters. The beast, staring at the shocked little girl, slowly approached.
'It's the end. No use running. I don't have the slightest chance against this huge predator.' realised Wiga. 'Let it be what has to be'.
Having accepted her fate, the girl's fear suddenly vanished. Wiga closed her eyes and waited patiently. She heared the wolf coming, step by step, but remained still.
Time crawled at snail's pace. After a while, she could feel the beast's warm breath on her face. And something soft and wet, tickling her cheeks. She reached her hand to touch it, which proved to be the wolf's snout.
'It's like a dog's nose' she smiled, and opened her eyes.
The wolf kept pushing its nose in Wiga's hood, making her giggling out loud.
'Oh stop it, it tickles', she chuckled 'Stop!'
As if she had really understood, the wolf really has stopped. For few heatbeats, they stared at each other. Submerged into her smart eyes, Wiga felt nothing but warmth and trust.
The moment passed, and the beast went on. Knocked her over and pushed her to the ground. Birch groves echoed from clear laughter, as the beast and the little girl playfully wrestled in the snow.
Fresh snow sprinkled, as she run through the plains, competing the wolf. Her cheeks were flushed by biting cold and effort, but she felt neither cold nor exhaust. She couldn't feel her body any more, but, exceeding her own self, she could sense far more. She felt the snow, the trees, buzzards circling high above, hungry foxes chasing gopher. She felt the wolf and felt boundless allness. As she kept running among white birsh groves, she wasnt't Wiga any more.
In long, cold winter nights old hunters are telling stories about a misterious young girl living alone in the wilderness, who can transform into an exceptionally large, white female wolf, but can be seen only by moonlight.
They are only old, senile men, though.

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.
