Join the new world

You asked for the idea, you asked the questions. The Dept. of Education is happy to present the new player FAQ, built by you for you. If you have a question that remains unanswered after this, feel free to fill out our form here.



Q. When is it OK to fight?
A. You can fight as soon as the game lets you, but make sure you can afford the food you need to get back to full health. It's easy to get trapped with no money and no health in this game. The links section at the end of our articles has many things that can help you if you are stuck.

Q. Is it ever okay to skip a day of working or training to save health?
A. No, you should do so every day. Use the DoI assistance form if you desperately need food, don't sacrifice your daily activities.

Q. What are missions and are they worth it?
Missions are a good way to get things that are slow to gain otherwise, like strength and rank points. Many missions will come up before you're ready for them, however. Don't break your back trying to finish them, only try to complete them when you know you can recover from the effort. Also, do not click the unlock buttons, unlock means pay the gold fee to finish the objective without doing it.

Q. What level should we begin using gold boosters?
A. Work boosters shouldn't be purchased...well, ever. Once you reach the upper skill levels, some employers may pay for you to boost, but it's not something you need to finance yourself. If you begin buying gold or are high up in the working world (some jobs pay up to $25 a day), you can pay for .19g boosters yourself. You definitely shouldn't buy any boosters until you're well versed in the game and are absolutely sure you can finance them yourself or have someone pay for them for you.

Q. Why aren't we fighting against Poland and Ireland when they're in control of states?
A. We rent a small amount of our states to Poland and Ireland. We have a region for every state, unlike most countries, and have several high resource regions. We don't need more than 1 high region of the same resource, so we give them those extra resources and they give us gold. They are not a hostile occupier, and they should not be fought against.

Q. Where is the USA in the world?
A. We are a founding member of an alliance between in the American zone of the world called PANAM, our allies being Canada, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina. We are on amicable terms with many members of an alliance called EDEN, including Australia, China, Croatia, Greece, and Romania. Primary enemies of ours include Indonesia, Serbia, and the UK. You can see our full list of alliances and enemies here.

Q. What are MPPs?
A. MPPs is an ancient term for an in-game alliance, they're short for Mutual Protection Pact (which you can still see on a law vote proposing one). When you're in a battle and you look at someone's allies list (the blue "i" under their country name), that is the list of their MPPs.

Q. What should I do in resistance wars?
A. An easy rule of thumb to go by is to fight for the defense on ours or our friends territories, and for the resistance on foreign soil. However, there are circumstances where we need to fight for the opposite side strategically. Always trust the Dept. of Defense Orders and nothing else.

Q. What is Dioism/a Dioist/Dio?
A. Dio Brando is an ancient player who made an eReligion with his friends when they first came to the game from 4chan. Dioism is the name of that eReligion, and Dioists are the supporters of it. Dioism was declared the national religion of the eUSA by then-President Woxan, but participation is naturally voluntary. You can read what Dioism is about on the eRepublik Wiki.

Q. Where can I find a list of American citizens?
A. Use this link: http://www.erepublik.com/en/rankings/citizens/country/1/24
Residents will appear, you can't sort by citizenship. You can also break it down to state constituencies.

Q. How can I vote?
A. Use this link on an election day. The 5th of every month for presidential elections, 15th for party president elections, and 25th for congressional elections.

Q. How can I access the party list when I'm in one?
A. Use this link: http://www.erepublik.com/en/rankings/parties/1/24

Q. Should I start a party?
A. No. The USA needs over 200 blockers every congressional election because we need to have a candidate in every state for every top 5 party. If an enemy created a party and got into the top 5, they could run over 40 hostile candidates. You should use your membership to strengthen a top 5 party.

Q. I don't like these parties. I really want to make my own.
A. A better idea is to sign up on the forums, get active in a top 5 one, and work your way into the party's team. You might find that they're alright people, and if not, you can change your party or work to change things you don't like.

Q. Should I donate to a party?
A. No. All party funds, due to game mechanics, can only be used for advertising, which is ironically broken. Ask your party president where your donations can be better used.

Q. Is the rent too damn high?
A. Indubitably.

Q. I have a question that wasn't included here, what do I do now?
A. Go here: http://tinyurl.com/AskDoE. Fill it out. Leave your name and I will personally PM you the answer, and edit it in here if you'd like. It is completely anonymous (not including us), so you don't have to worry about being judged 🙂
