Rank of Leading PEACE GC Nations Improve

It is now official that eHungary has surpassed eUSA as being the highest population country in the world.

As far as experience, due largely because of the recent battles that have been fought, eIndonesia has also surpassed eHungary, becoming the highest ranked country by experience in the world. The eUSA remains in the number 3 position.

Battle Results

The only major victory in eUS soil that the PEACE nations had in the last day was the conquest of our high-oil region in Oklahoma. The way the game mechanics in eRepublik are made, the loser of a battle cannot attack the country that wins for 24 hours and the winner of the battle may continue to attack immediately. This makes sense. However, if a country retreats from battle before the 24-hour's time period is over (thus losing the battle), they are still able to continue attacking. Another way around this is to open attack on another state/region before the first battle finishes, retaining the advantage whether the previous battle is won or lost. Because of this, we have not been able to initiate direct attacks on other regions to counterattack, even when we’ve won battles. Our enemies have gotten very good at this, so we have had to use our minds to change our battle strategy and it seems to be starting to pay off.

With the proper placement of fighting forces, Wyoming has been secured from attack by Russia and South Carolina has also been secured from the attack by Portugal. Also, as a result of resistance war, we’ve just succeeded in taking back Georgia!

War Update

Although they lost Wyoming, Russia has used their base in Minnesota to initiate attack on Iowa. Portugal has also initiated attack on West Virginia. Indonesia has launched an attack on Arkansas after conquering Oklahoma. Hungary, which had taken eUSA’s Montana from it’s occupation by Canada, has attacked eUSA’s Canadian-occupied Washington State.

Due to the nature of the rapidly changing situation on the battlefronts, citizens are urged to read and subscribe to keep up with current battle orders. Members of the military are to check forums and follow the orders from your chain of command.

eUS Training Division

Would you like to contribute to the war effort? Would you like to learn more about how to play eRepublik? If you are not currently part of the eUS Military and you want to learn and do more to defend North America, then consider joining the military by enlisting in the eUnited States Training Division (TD). Once you’ve graduated the TD, you should have enough knowledge to go in almost any direction you want in eRepublik. If you want to further your military career, you can move on to the Home Guard or other military divisions and will be able to request free weapons to repel the invaders and increase your rank in the military more quickly. We need your help and so do our allies! Make your mark on the eWorld today and enlist in the eUnited States Training Division today, the best eRepublik training program in the world!

The war has led to a large number of applications to the TD, so you may not get an immediate response because so many people are applying at once. Citizens are asked to remain patient for assignment to a platoon leader as soon as logistically possible.
