A British exploratory mission sent to Madagascar in search of lost artefacts and forgotten knowledge has returned with valuable maps, curious relics… and an unexpected diplomatic incident involving a self-proclaimed lemur king.
The expedition, organised under the banner of historical and cultural discovery, was tasked with investigating rumours of ancient ruins hidden deep within Madagascar’s interior. According to early reports, the mission proceeded smoothly — at least until the explorers realised they were no longer alone.
Enter the Lemurs
Deep in the jungle, the British team reportedly encountered a highly organised group of lemurs who appeared to be guarding a cluster of ruins. At their centre stood an unusually confident and flamboyant leader, adorned with leaves, flowers, and what witnesses described as “a crown that may or may not have been stolen from our supplies.”
The lemur introduced himself as King Julian, Supreme Ruler of All Things That Can Be Climbed.
“He demanded to know why we were in his jungle,” one explorer recalled. “Then he asked if we’d brought snacks.”
Negotiations Go… Sideways
Attempts at negotiation were, according to logs, “challenging but entertaining.” King Julian insisted on music before diplomacy, demanded that all discussions be conducted while dancing, and repeatedly interrupted briefings to shout, “I like to move it, move it!”
Despite this, the lemur king proved surprisingly cooperative. In exchange for shiny objects, fruit rations, and the promise that the British would “write nice things about him,” Julian granted access to several ruins.
Lost Knowledge (and Bananas) Recovered
The expedition successfully recovered fragments of ancient texts, ceremonial artefacts, and what may be an early map — though several crates of bananas were mysteriously missing by the end of the mission.
One officer noted that while the lemurs appeared chaotic, their knowledge of the terrain was unmatched. “Without them,” he admitted, “we’d probably still be lost… or dancing.”
A Triumphant (and Slightly Confused) Return
The explorers have since returned safely, bringing with them new knowledge, rare artefacts, and a standing invitation to return — provided they bring more fruit and agree to acknowledge King Julian’s “eternal jungle sovereignty.”
The Ministry of Exploration released a brief statement confirming that future expeditions to Madagascar will include:
Additional snacks
Improved lemur diplomacy training
Strict rules regarding impromptu dancing
As for King Julian, sources claim he is now eagerly awaiting the next British visit, reportedly declaring:
“Tell Britain I am ready for cultural exchange… and more bananas.”

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.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
