Quote : eRepublik combines both social networking and strategy into a single massively multiplayer online game where players can participate in a variety of activities. Citizens of the New World can be employees, own businesses, form political parties, vote in elections, become party presidents, members of Congress or country presidents, write newspaper articles and even go to war as citizens of virtual versions of real life countries. The game has very few visual elements and is primarily text-based in nature.
Upon joining a citizen picks which virtual country he wishes to join. Each of these countries is named after an actual country in the real world, and is located similarly. The citizen then seeks employment at a company within that country, and is allowed the opportunity to train as a soldier for that country. Training, and working at a company is done on a daily basis by a simple click of two buttons. One of the main drawing points of the website is that it takes a mere "14 minutes a day" to participate.
eRepublik Gold is a fictional currency used in the eRepublik World. It is the main reference point for all the local virtual currencies (examples: USD, GBP) and it is used to buy additional features (such as companies) within the New World. It can be obtained freely by reaching certain levels or achievements.
Economic Module
The economy is based on 12 branches: 5 "raw materials" (grain, diamonds, iron, oil, wood), 4 "manufacturing" (food, gifts, weapons, moving tickets) and 3 "constructions" (houses, hospitals, defense systems). Upon reaching a certain amount of Gold, citizens can purchase or create a company, thus enabling "general manager features": hire other citizens, set their wages, buy raw materials (in case of finished goods companies), set products for sale and buy export licenses (thus being able to sell products in multiple countries).
Politics Module
As simple citizens, players can join a party by reaching a certain level. Once they have joined a party, they can run for party presidency. If they convince their party colleagues to vote for them and they become the leaders, they can choose their party candidates for congress or presidency.
On the fifth of every month eRepublik holds the presidential vote, on the fifteenth the party president and on the twenty-fifth the congress elections. Days before the presidential vote the top five parties will select a person to run for president, and then it is decided by a majority vote by the populace. When running for party president it will cost citizens 2 gold to run; anybody can run, provided they have the level requirements. The congress elections are a bit more complicated than the rest.
The party president selects a person from their party to run in each region against other parties' representatives, after which people living in that region vote. The percentage of people voting for a party determines the number of congressional seats the party gets, a total of 40 for a country. If someone ties a vote for the last seat eRepublik automatically chooses by referring to experience points.
War Module
In order to declare war on other countries, the president of the country proposes to the congress the declaration. If the vote passes, the two countries are at war and each region is attacked at the order of the president. If a country is completely occupied, an independence war can be started by any citizen of that region. Countries have to sign alliances every month in order to prevent being attacked by surprise.
News Module
Any citizen can create a newspaper in which he can publish articles. Other citizens can read these articles, vote them, comment on them or even subscribe to the newspapers of other citizens.
Gameplay
The role play of the New World consist of combining the capabilities of the above modules in order to reach one's goals and become leader in one or more domains. Citizens have to use newspapers in order to promote themselves, their companies, parties, or even countries. The congress of a country set taxes in order to enforce economic policies. In order to wage successful wars, the economy of a country has to sustain it and citizens have to be motivated.
This game is really interesting, you can spend your time trying to achieve what you want, to be a successful bussinesman, the president of your country or the strongest soldier of the world, in this moment there is a "eWorld War", the "Peace global community" is invading the USA and Canada, both members of the "Fortis" alliance, USA has already lost California in hands of Indonesia (most powerful country of the eWorld), colorado, utah, south-dakota and north-dakota in hands of Russia, and Tenesse and Georgia in hands of Portugal, Canada has also lost some regions in hands of France and the UK.
The true potential of the game is in the external forums of each country, there is where the future of the country is discussed, there are a lot of roles that are external of the game but not less important, like the ministers, ambassadors, etc
