The citizens of the New World have witnessed the most disputed elections since the creation of the New World. In Austria, there was a tie between the winner, Silent Bob, and the runner up, Chicco. We remind you all that in these cases, the oldest (let's call him the most experienced) player is considered president. Other close elections have been reported in:

- Argentina - Irenfrea won by two votes difference against Siddy
- Finland - Okkius Pyromanius won by four votes difference against Engram
- Ireland - Theus Jackus won by five votes difference against Nithraldur
- Japan - Akki, three votes more than InfernoSD
- South Korea - Francis DeBoyle won with only one vote more than runner-up Parrot

More than 100 candidates competed in 49 countries and we hope the winners will lead their citizens with pride and respect.

Update: There have been some citizens that encountered anomalies with their achievements. These achievements are displayed correctly now. Also, all the citizens that encountered problems have received the proper reward in Gold for their efforts.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you all for your support,
The eRepublik Team
