Well, this was the battle the Czechs were afraid of, and they had good reason to be.
48,605,301 vs 96,730,767
Five Q3 defense systems destroyed
This will be a different kind of battle summary because this was a different kind of battle. Saxony was essentially the stage for the Czech Republic and Nigeria to fight each other on. I think Germany did a great job, and I'll share some Germany-specifics statistics later on, but I can't pretend this was just our win. Here's the battle link if you want to follow along
.
At the beginning of the fight, we accepted two ex-Czech Nigerians into Germany,
CeskejDobytek and 
Schrodingers cat . To get a more realistic idea of what actually went down, I'm going to count their damage as Nigerian damage for the rest of this article.
After making that adjustment, here are the top-3 countries in damage for each side. "Player count" is the number of players from a country who had at least one hit for the given side.
| Rank | Country | Player Count | Damage |
| 1 | Nigeria | 15 | 67.012.185 |
| 2 | Germany | 12 | 18.602.662 |
| 3 | Azerbaijan | 1* | 4.740.175 |
*All from our old friend
smog !
| Rank | Country | Player Count | Damage |
| 1 | Czech Republic | 147 | 38.638.773 |
| 2 | Slovakia | 9 | 4.635.064 |
| 3 | Nigeria | 3 | 1.798.207 |
(The damage statistics are a little weird because the 100% extra damage bonus started after the first couple of rounds. So there's a bias here for players and countries who fought later in the battle.)
I think those tables highlight a key difference between Nigeria and the Czech Republic. Nigeria has only handful of players, but the players they do have are some of the best on the server. The Czech Republic has tons of players, but they lost most of their strongest to Nigeria. Both sides are dangerous in their own way
Over the course of the battle, a total of 572 Q5 weapons were used, with both sides making heavy use of them. If we assume each Q5 weapon costs 0.6g, that's a total of 343.2g spent just on Q5 weapons for this battle! If I add up the cost for all the weapons used in this 9-round battle, it comes to 873.89g. And that's not including the cost of gifts, food, and tickets that were poured into this battle!
Now let's talk about the German citizens
We got a lot more participation in this battle than the last two, which is great to see. Overall, our participation counts have been increasing for each of the battles the org said was a priority recently:
| Battle | German players |
| South West England | 6 |
| Rhineland | 7 |
| Saxony | 12 |
It doesn't feel right to rank players by damage when some had the advantage of +100% bonus and others didn't. So instead, I'll just recognize all the German players who fought in this battle, sorted by the number of hits done:

* Welcome back!
Thanks to all of you for your participation
In many cases being lower on that list is a good thing. Some of our rounds had pretty extreme overkill, and it was good to see
Craig Black and our Austrian ally 
Lord_Ernie divert their fire to our other RW against Poland instead of wasting damage on this one. And I know others intentionally held back to keep from overkilling.
And finally, let's look at the German battle heros. Of the German citizens who were German before this battle started, we have two battle heros:
Ackermann (round 2)
dispon (round 3)And if we also include the incredibly effective
CeskejDobytek , he jumps to the top with 4 battle hero medals for rounds 6,7,8, and 9.
Overall, a very fun battle to be a part of, and I hope you all enjoyed reading this

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.
