Basics:

~Wellness
* Wellness can be seen as the health of your character. When your wellness becomes 0, your character dies and the next time you try to log into your account, you will be informed about this and you have the opportunity to continue your life in eRepublik using the Revive button. Reviving enables you to regain your eLife, though with a wellness of just 10.
* Wellness is what keeps u alive. Basically, your productivity at work, damage inflicted in battles and all depend on your wellness.
*Wellnes of your character is found to be 50, when u are just born. Every time u train to gain strength u lose 1 wellness. Every time u work in a company, u lose wellness depending upon the quality(indicated by the number of stars) of the company. Suppose you are working in a quality two company, every time you work u lose 2 wellness and so on.

~Professions
There are three different professions or skills:
* Weapons/food/gifts/moving tickets - manufacturing skill
* Grain/wood/oil/iron - land skill
* Housing/defencesystems/hospitals - constructions skill
NOTE:
~ When you chose a profession and works, you will improve your skill in that profession.
~ The higher your skill gets, the higher salary you can get. Salary also depends on your wellness at times, so try to keep your wellness as high as possible.

~Strength
Is a skill of its own and can only improve by training.
Strength in combination with your wellness, what weapon (if any) you use and your military rank will decide how much damage you can do in a fight.

~Effects of Fighting
A .The citizen loses 10 wellness points for joining the fight
B. The citizen receives 2 XP
C. For each fight if a soldier has a weapon in his inventory, it will be used in that fight (the weapon with the highest quality level will be used first). That weapon will be erased from the soldier's inventory after the fight.
D. The damage is calculated and added to the citizen's total damage points inflicted.

Main article:
As a newbie, u might be wondering what this game has to offer you(newbie). If u ask me the same question, the most likely answer u might get is &quot;Nothing&quot; at the moment. This is the fact and you got to accept it, no matter what!!!

Trust me guys, you can do nothing at the stage you are in. You can compare yourself to what India is in this game and take India to the next level we need guys like u to play this game.

Wiki provides tons of info as of what a newbie should be doing during the early days of his life. As a newbie, even I felt like who would read all that crap to play a bacha browser game. Lets break it down to a 10 minute, 2 clicker game to start with.

Your first week in the new world:

=&gt;<strong style="color: #FF0000">Day 1</strong>
You can easily receive 3 experience points every day with just a few clicks ie., few minutes.
~Just upload your first avatar to gain 2xp.
~Find your first job here and work (5+1 xp).
While choosing a job, act wisely so that the company offers u more at a lesser wellness decrement. If u go for a job in the five starred company or a quality 5 company, u lose 5wellness per day. It’s up to the citizen’s discretion, though I would ask you to prefer a low quality company to a high quality one even if it pays less.
~ Buy your first food here(gives 1xp)

You are now level 2 now
From now on, u can train once a day, just follow the advice from good old Plato.
So the basic things you should do every day is to train and work for your company.
~ Train (gives 2xp)
You are now level 3
~ At level 3 you can change your residence (you need a moving ticket in your inventory, which can be purchased at the market place

=&gt;<strong style="color: #FF0000">Day 2-5</strong>
You are now lvl 4
Not much you can do and maybe you'll get bored, but don't give up !!! Just hang in there for a few more days. Don’t forget to buy food from the market everyday so that your wellness is always above 40.
~Keep on training and working so that u can reach level 5 asap. Level 5 enables u to serve your nation as a soldier.
~ You can invite your friends to join the New World !!!

=&gt;<strong style="color: #FF0000">Day 6</strong>
You are now level 5
~There you are
<img src="http://www.thebellyofawhale.net/Drawings/TADAA.gif">
~You will be able to access the &quot;Fight&quot; button only if
A. Your country is directly or indirectly(country's ally being attacked) in a war.
B. Your strength is greater than 0
C. Your wellness is greater or equal to 40
D. You have at least 25 EP or if you had bought an &quot;Unlock Features&quot; pack. (Note that unlock features pack just unlocks the features, but it doesn’t increase your xp however)
