People are boring
Cavalcanti
I've just read this article: Anti-Racism movement.
tl;dr Article written by a eGreek that asks people to stop with racism (?) and keep real life nationalism out of this game.
I don't give a damn (anymore) whether Macedonia is Macedonia or Macedonia is Greece or Macedonia is FYROM or Macedonia is Yugoslavia or Macedonia is Mars. I also don't care what you think about this, and I don't want to know what do you think about it - this article is not about it.
The same people that are commenting "vote", "v+s" - even the guy who wrote this article - are all people that brought nationalism to this game when Macedonia/FYROM/Mars was added with their countless open letters and avatars protesting. It's not all about Greece/Macedonia.
A lot of countries bring their "special" (I was gonna say something else, but I could earn some FP for that) nationalism and/or their country frustations to this game at the point eRepublik is reduced to a f---ing cyber masturbation, and place of f---ing petty rivalries, as one wise man said once.
Aren't people boring? This is why I love the eUS. We don't give a damn to anything related to real life and we rather make fun of it. Kosovo? Emerick is Kosovo.
Now imagine what would be eRepublik with no nationalism at all? Certainly it would be more fun, or at least less repetitive/boring.
A pity it would be less profitable for admins.

Agreed, I have seen too many comments recently pulling the Racism card because a Turkish Translation isn't provided here or there.
Even the wiki points out that the game is maintained on a English standard, not English only ofc, but still people need to deal with it and move on at some point.
tl;dr: stfu & get over yourselves.
you're all just random internet users/abusers.
Emerick is Kosovo.

"Now imagine what would be eRepublik with no nationalism at all? Certainly it would be more fun, or at least less repetitive/boring"
I tend to disagree. eRepublik without nationalism would lack substance. At least now that you have RO vs HU, HR vs Serbs, GR vs turkey you have smth to base an entire set of alliances upon. It`s all about RL friendships and animosities. Without those, it wouldn`t be eRepublik anymore.
Emerick is the heart of eSerbia! Long live Emerick o/
@Wallachian: I have nothing against Croats. In fact, we were supposed to be friends and allies in this game, yet that changed because some guys planted a rotten seed. You probably don't know about that as you were born 1/3 of a year after the mentioned events.
Also, as for RL friendships, Serbia is RL friend of Greece, Russia, Romania and China, for example, yet here we are enemies. Serbia is, was and will be an enemy to Turkey (they held us occupied for about 500 years), yet here we are friends. Also, here we are best friends with Hungary, and in RL they have (semi)open pretensions to parts of our territory (Vojvodina).
So, I would dissagree with you. This game can be played without involving RL into it, and I don't think it would be less fun, only more (that is assuming it still is fun which is not entirely true with unlimited wps and similar stuff).
*Doesn't give a damn*
Also, inb4 article gets removed for saying "Kosovo".
protip: nobody cares about balkanians

Watched George Carlins, "People are boring" skit on you tube?
Voted.
(and I love George Carlin's comedy)
@Hostilian
You have a valid point. However there are more then one type of people playing this game. Some have the nationalistic feelings more exacerbated then the other. So its natural that all of them would merge into one, and given certain outer factors, the sum would be more inclined towards one or another of the sides.
Lets take Serbia as you gave it as example. When you appeared on the map you were conquered by Croatia. This immediately threw you on the Hungarian side without giving you too much to think about. And Hungary was eager to ally you because they were getting their ass kicked from Romania & Croatia.
In RL Hungary is hated by many in the area so most likely the alliance structure would have been different if you weren`t attacked by Croatia so early. So it`s not like you picked Hungary, but that you didn`t have a choice. If you had enough time to bring the RL factor in discussion, you would most likely fight them in-game as well.

I didn't know there was a video called People are boring before writting this article.
Nationalism in eR is giving € to Alexios. End of story. It must be in the game, because is good for the admins.
Personally, I see this as a game and I do agree with this article.

"People are strange, when you are a stranger..."

Good think. Voted.

>Kosovo? Emerick is Kosovo.
i suppose making fun of genocides you engineered helps you deal with them.
