By the time the Battle of Lancaster began, the United Kingdom had already fallen under occupation. Central authority had collapsed, key cities were controlled by foreign forces, and the Pew Pew Coalition—backed by Poland—appeared firmly entrenched. What followed was not a conventional war for dominance, but the opening chapter of a resistance campaign: a deliberate attempt by the remaining UK government, military remnants, and local fighters to reclaim control and, ultimately, expel Pew Pew from British soil.
Lancaster was chosen not for its size, but for its symbolism. It became the first coordinated effort to prove that the occupation was neither complete nor uncontested.
Fierce Resistance
The battle was defined by one figure above all others:
Rivayne’s tactics were disciplined, aggressive, and relentless. He anticipated British movements, countered S.A.S incursions with precision, and personally led defensive actions that stalled resistance advances time and again. Among British fighters, his name became synonymous with unbreakable resistance—an adversary who embodied the full weight of the occupation’s military strength.
It was against Rivayne’s forces that the UK resistance suffered its heaviest losses, and it was his defense that ultimately prevented Lancaster from becoming the breakthrough the government had hoped for.
Defeat at Lancaster
Despite courage, coordination, and moments of tactical success, the Battle of Lancaster ended in defeat. Outnumbered and outgunned, British resistance units were forced to withdraw as Pew Pew and Polish forces reasserted control over the city. The loss was decisive, and Lancaster did not fall back into British hands.
Yet the defeat did not carry the finality the occupiers expected. Unlike earlier collapses, Lancaster was not marked by surrender or fragmentation—it was marked by survival. British units disengaged in order, civilians aided withdrawals, and intelligence networks remained intact. The resistance had been bloodied, but not broken.
A Nation United by Resistance
In retrospect, Lancaster’s true significance lies not in its outcome, but in its impact. The battle demonstrated—clearly and publicly—that the UK government was neither passive nor resigned to occupation. It showed a willingness to fight, to organize, and to accept losses in pursuit of liberation.
For the first time since the fall, government officials, military remnants, and civilians were united around a single goal: resistance. Public support surged in the aftermath of Lancaster. Recruitment increased, underground networks expanded, and the S.A.S emerged as a visible symbol of continued defiance. What had once been scattered anger became shared purpose.
The Battle of Lancaster did not reclaim the United Kingdom—but it reclaimed something just as vital: belief. Belief that occupation could be challenged, that unity was possible, and that the struggle for control of the nation had only just begun.

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.
