Languages can play a big role in E-sim and is very easy to overlook it. Every language is different and some can add advantages. Of course not every country on E-sim speaks the language they do in real life. So that is why I want to talk about it.
Here are the main languages of Ethnica's Asian countries.
Armenia: Armenian(In Latin alphabet)
Armenian is a language that is not spoken in many real life countries. That means very few people know Armenian, besides Armenians themselves.. Also, on Ethnica the Armenians are commonly using the Latin alphabet. Which makes it almost impossible to translate! This gives them an advantage of letting them speak without foreigners knowing what they said.
Azerbaijan: English(Sometimes Turkish, but mainly English.)
Thanks to the influence that English speaking nations have in the real life world, it will easily apply on E-sim. English is the most common second-language of the world. And the second most spoken language in the world. Because of this, a lot of countries on E-sim uses English more than their native language.
China: Mandarin or Cantonese.
Chinese is often shown as a very intimidating language. The Chinese language allows something very unique! All forms of Chinese uses Chinese characters, which allows people who know a form of Chinese(Taiwanese included) to be able to understand anyone who knows a form of Chinese. The different form of Chinese(Mandarin, Cantonese, and others..) have different words, but the characters are mostly the same for every form of Chinese.
(Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja, are not understandable in Chinese.)
India: English.
(Same as Azerbaijan.)
Indonesia: Bahasa Indonesia.
Indonesian is fairly common. But it doesn't have many advantages, besides being a language of it's own.
Iran: Persian
Persian uses an Arabic script, which can be hard for non-natives to translate it.
Israel: Hebrew.
Hebrew has it's own unique written system that makes it hard to translate and understand for non-Hebrew speakers.
Japan: English(Japan speaks the best form of English. It is full of very intelligent people... I am not bias.)
(Same as Azerbaijan.)
Pakistan: English and Urdu(An equal amount of English and Urdu in Latin alphabet)
Something really interesting is how Pakistani citizens swap from English to Urdu(in Latin alphabet) in mid-sentence. Just like Armenian, Urdu in a Latin alphabet is almost impossible to translate.
Philippines: English.
(Just like Azerbaijan.)
South Korea: English.
(Just like Azerbaijan.)
Taiwan: Mandarin or Cantonese.
(Just like China.)
Turkey: Turkish.
Turkish is one of the most common languages on E-sim. Many foreigners understand it, making it similar to how English works in E-sim.
China's and Taiwan's are debatable. But either way it doesn't matter, since the languages are pretty much written the same. Since there is no audio, I don't fully know.
Languages like Pakistani and Armenian were fun to sort out! Since they for some reason used the Latin Alphabet, I had to find a way to translate the Latin words back into their Alphabet and find words that would be used in translators and language soft-wire. But I finally found them out thanks to words like "barev"

Ethnica Map(Day 1-10) (8 years ago)
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.
