The United States and Poland have formally declared war on the United Kingdom—and their actions have gone far beyond rhetoric. Britain’s core regions have fallen under coordinated assault, with London and the nation’s heartlands now under foreign control. Symbols of sovereignty have been seized, institutions forced into collapse or exile, and authority stripped away through force.
Beyond the mainland, Britain’s overseas presence has been dismantled with ruthless speed. Joint operations conducted by the United States and Syria have led to the loss of British territories in Spain, France, Madagascar, and South Africa. Supply lines have been cut, flags torn down, and positions held for years erased from the global map.
On paper, Britain has lost everything.
And yet, the story does not end there.
Defeat of Territory Is Not Defeat of Spirit
Wars are often measured in regions taken, capitals captured, and borders redrawn. But nations are not sustained by maps alone. They are sustained by people—and the British people have not disappeared with the fall of territory.
Across occupied regions, communities endure. Families adapt. Networks reorganise. Even in the absence of formal control, identity remains intact. The loss of land has been devastating, but it has not erased history, memory, or resolve.
This is not denial of defeat—it is recognition that defeat is not the same as extinction.
Hope Without Illusion
There is no pretending that the situation is anything but dire. Britain’s strategic position has collapsed. Allies are few. Power has shifted. The cost has been paid in cities, homes, and livelihoods.
But hope does not require advantage—it requires belief.
Belief that occupation is not permanence.
Belief that authority imposed by force is fragile.
Belief that a people pushed to the brink still retain the ability to rebuild, reorganise, and one day return.
History is filled with nations declared finished long before they rose again.
What Remains
What remains now is not territory, but identity. Not power, but purpose. Not certainty, but endurance.
The United Kingdom stands stripped of land, yet unbroken in spirit. Its future is unclear, its path uncertain—but as long as its people continue to believe that their story is not finished, the nation itself has not ended.
Empires fall. Borders change. Maps are rewritten.
But hope—quiet, stubborn, and persistent—has survived far worse.
And for now, that is enough.

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.
