Cooperation [Part 1]

Afternoon all,

Cooperation leads to success. To be truly as good as one can be, you need cooperation to get the most out of yourself and those around you. This is seen throughout the military and political side of this game. When cooperation stops, systems fail, if militaries disbanded, would the sum of their troops be as effective? No. It's the cooperation, communication and teamwork that makes a MU, Party or country great.

So why is this not applied in the economy or media?

What would happen if it was? With cooperation we could see giant media organisations sprouting up around the globe, we could see groups outputting masses of articles in the name of being the best, we could see the quality of articles that would get players excited about the media once more.

With a vibrant media landscape, advertising could become a force with papers or whole organisations being sponsored by investors. Alongside this there could be competition branches that also help fund the papers. With the creativity of the eRepublik player base as a whole, there would be opportunities around every corner.

But one question remains, who would want, no - need, advertising in newspapers? All will be revealed in part 2.
