Join the new world

A recurring theme in eRepublik is that wars between nations and countries are rarely equal. Almost always, it is one stronger country subjugating another. In writing this article, I want to remain neutral. I want to introduce a new measuring standard. I will simply give the facts, real facts, on a major conflict going on in the eWorld right now and give some statistical data on a few ecountries.

Different measuring tools have been used to measure a country’s prominence. The measuring stick eRepublik uses is active citizen population:



eRepublik defines an active citizen as a citizen who has logged in their account at least once in the past two weeks (I think). The citizen population are those players who have citizenship in their respective country. This standard, however, fails to account for a major factor: citizen’s productivity bonus. Allow me to introduce a new measuring tool that takes into account not just the citizen population of a country or the number of active players, but also the resource bonus that plays a huge factor (as much as +100😵 in daily eworld life.

A Tale of Two Citizens:

Let’s compare two citizens from two fictional countries. Citizen Jane is from country A which is occupied so that means no production bonus. Citizen Kane is from country B which not only occupies country A but many other countries. That country is able to have 100% food and weapon production bonuses for its citizens. Both citizens have a Q1 weapons and a Q1 food factory. Citizen Jane from country A works in her factories. She produces 10 Q1 weapons and 100 Q1 food. Citizen Kane from country B works in his factories. He produces 20 Q1 weapons and 200 Q1 food. What happened here? Both citizens’ work but one citizen produces twice as much as the other. Are both citizens equal? Citizen Jane starts a resistance war and puts in 200 energy and 10 Q1 hits in the battle. Citizen Kane puts in 400 energy and 20 Q1 hits in the same battle. According to this battle, no, both citizens are not equal. Citizen Kane from country B is able to do twice as much damage as Citizen Jane from country A.



Thus, Citizen Jane has a real power indicator (RPI) of 1 while Citizen Kane has a RPI of 2.

A major conflict currently in progress is the war between the eUSA and eSpain and ePoland.



Let’s apply the RPI calculations on a macro level.



Judging from the above table, ePoland has an RPI of 20,100, eSpain has an RPI of 18,092, and eUSA with 7,405. As can be seen, the sides are not equal. ePoland and eSpain has a total RPI of 38,192 while eUSA has only 7,405.

Using the Real Power Indicator to measure a country’s rankings is more accurate than just taking its citizens into account. As proven previously, citizens from different countries can be vastly different in terms of real productivity. This indicator takes into account the resource or production bonus of the country to give a more precise measurement of the country’s true ranking or power.

To conclude, I would like to give the RPI’s of other prominent countries in the eWorld.
