A Call to eRepublik Citizens: this is what I've learned

Day 539, 21:44 Published in Canada Canada by Admis

During my time in eRepublik life, I've learned a few things: eRepublik is realistic. I'm not talking The Sims realistic, I'm talking about a virtual dimension that is similar to our world. The first instant that came to my mind when I was told this game was fun was "why would people play such a simulator like eRepublik?" Is it because those who play can't live the lives who are in the positions of generals, politic leaders, or media moguls? Nay. I've learned something, these people were trying to change the history of this world, this dimensions, this universe, this "eRepublik".

Just like all politicians, poets, or artists trying to make of name for themselves, written down in the history books or forgotten, they constantly change eRepublik. There is no doubt that every individual that comprises of the eRepublik world, form, shape, and manipulate this world; this "New World". Why would some people want to be part of this New World? Are they vagabonds, outcasts or simply those who are not satisfied with their own lives? I doubt it. The context to which people can shape this world is at the click of the mouse and the press of a key, thus you have a New Worl😛 a eRepublik.

However, one must conclude that changing the New World isn't that simple. New alliances are to be forged, enemies closely monitored and stewardship of ones country makes this simulator appealing. The Romans gave us Patriotism: the love of ones country, the Greeks gave us philosophic thought to guide our diplomacy with others- both have value today in our societies as well as eRepublik. These common interests binds the players together to unite them against those who oppose them. This use of diplomacy and nationalism is unique to this world that make this simulator so interesting.

Further more, I want to do more than just make comments; I want action. I want to build more than what I destroy, one might even call it a legacy. There are kinks in the leadership of eCanada's politics that have bottlenecked its effectiveness, transparency and leadership. One day, I hope to transform eCanadian politics into a new order- a new world were we can grow and prosper... not only as a large country separated by provinces, political parties or ideologies, but as a single nation with a shared common goal. A goal we will all achieve if we play our cards right and deal with the real issues and tackle them head on with prudence; a prudence that had made our history so rich, diverse and successful.
