The Holy Grail of all Political Philsophies

Do any of these exist in the Politics module apart from Centre and peoples real life views in the game?

You have all heard of Political spectrum, be it left or right, Capitalist or socialist,Totaliatarian or Libertarian, Theocrat or anti-religious it goes on forever...

What people fail to understand however is that your political views should not be decided through all these elaborate ideas and policies, though they do have their roles...

It is decided by a question which can only be answered by opinion and never fact.

It is simply a question of what is more important - Liberty or Unity?

Both cannot coexist together (unless everyone's interests is at stake), if you have total liberty you allow the people to freely and limitlessly express themselves and they will undoubtedly all have individual opinions and thus create factionalism (division) within a nation with people constantly arguing for and against a policy because they disagree with the views of those in charge. This can be something that can destroy a nation during war and will always leave the people wanting more but at the same time it keeps people free from exploitation and inequality. The idea is usually leftist and Anarchist though step into the Communist world and Liberty does not exist, it is implied but everyone shares the same view and exterminates the Bourgeoisie which does not...



In total Unity, all the People must have the same opinion and show full support to their governing body which knows best. However in order for this to be achieved repression must be made and the will of the masses must be ignored. It is the idea of Conservatism, Monarchy and Fascism combined where the people submit a child like status to the ruling elite for the glory of the nation, though "Communists" (The ones in admiration of Stalin, Mao etc) also practice this. However, this system is seen to enslave the people and violate their rights as people just to fulfill the states interests...



In Modern "Democracies" they pretend to talk about unity and freedom as though it is possible to have them together when really they lie or give half truths to the public when their interests are at stake through the media. People can speak out against the government but this plays on the illusion which means everyone has to follow the Governments interests which are the USAs interests as most nations in the world are vassal states of this decadent empire which has built a cult around the horrid events of 9/11 (something used to justify an unjust war and as a result demonize the middle east) so strong, people show more respect to it than the millions of deaths from the first and second world war... Anyway thats besides the point..



The point is this - In erepublik you cannot achieve any of these extremes as you could in real life. You can only practice Centralism and rally unity (the only useful idea here as its a game of conquest, not a Utopian similiator) through real life Nationalism which sort of leaves everyone on erepublik role playing on erepublik just to satisfy real life Narcissism, Nationalism and perhaps even Utopian dreams even though all they are really doing is exchanging pixels with the name of regions/items/postions etc.. in exchange for money, time and effort.

What I am saying is simples 😃. Erepublik needs to became more than just a browser game where the outcome of a war depends on who does the most damage against a wall, where politics is alot more intresting with all sorts of things going on in real life, where geopolitics was not limited to invading defined regions and where resources and regions actually had a serious strategic use other than enhancing production such as offering trade roots and materials for a certain item or tool...

If erepublik were to adopt a war module similar to that of Star Wars Battlefront, Zombie Frontier or at least Stick Arena where you can control your own individual soldier and fight in your countries teams on a map (similar to the countries terrain) armed with weapons/vehicles against an enemy directly so that you use skill as well as strength then I would actually pay money to play. If they were to have an interesting politically module other than something set and impenetrable, I would be in love with the game...


Best war module the game ever had and still ZzzzzzzZZzzz, doing a crap has never been so exciting as watching a wall for a day or two

What am I asking is not impossible, and I think someone else will most likely make a game with such features if not erepublik (which is basically a social networking set with wars made on taking your money at the moment)...


FTW Lets Kick ASS!

Anyway I grew bored of erepublik long ago because there wasnt much to it, but I do have one thing to say... At least the newspaper modules awesome xD... until they decided to ban adds and keep us from posting in other countries just so we wouldn't be able to unify against the admins when they did something against their clients wishes...
