MU Highlight: Special Forces
Deputy Secretary of Media DokJon

If you're looking for the best of the best military units, then look no further. The American Special Forces are here to provide security for our country and the citizens. The SF soldiers are highly-trained to perform unconventional, often high-risk missions. When they participate in a battle, the wall flips over in no time. SF is where your career in USAF reaches the highest point and become part of the Prestige Worldwide.



Special Forces was created as a part of the United States Armed Forces (USAF) back in April 2011 after the known conflict between the US Government and the JCS and their decision to separate themselves and operate as a self-sufficient militia. There was also another split created between officers who wanted to stay in the old group and those wanting to join the new USAF like Kell Draygo, xDavidx, Alexander Auctoritas, etc. who finally formed the first SF leadership team.

Joining requirement for SF is Q7 hit exceeding 15,000 damage. They're the giants on the battlefields crushing enemies under their feet. The current active roster includes 125 members from all over the world in almost all time zones in order to enhance their capability to deploy and effectively turn the tide in D4 battles 24/7.

The phrase "To maintain your position is harder than the position" becomes so true when it comes to the top unit Special Forces. The unit faces the challenge everyday, not only on the field but as part of the entire MU operation. Damage coordination, monitoring, supply system adjustments, meta-game mechanisms, infrastructure improvements, all of these things demand a persistent effort in order to succeed in their role.

"SF is undoubtedly the top D4 MU in the eWorld due to a successful combination of different factors but the most important of all is our people. Loyalty, dedication and hard work are rewarded but other than that, joining and serving in the SF is a valuable experience which gives you the chance to meet players from all over the world, make new friends and ultimately enjoy the game better." -Euro Company Executive Officer GreeKM4N


Media Highlight: Political Debates
Press Corps Staff Writer Aeroner



As I’ve always said, the best part about this game is the community. It’s the fact that strangers can come together from all corners of the world and build themselves a nicely functioning government or party. Then, not only can we create that mystical dreamscape, but we can fill it with ideas and discourse and debate. The true artists are not the ones who create worlds, but fill them with such reality that you are forced to believe they are real.

As real governments of the world, like mine, the United States government, try fixing the problems plaguing our real world, we have engineered a dynamic machine filled with its own economy, politics, and government. I don’t have a clever segue, but in this issue I’ll be talking solely about politics.

In the same vein of creating our worlds and filling them with vibrancy, its incredible how we can create political personalities and parties with their own distinct flavor and feel. After all, this is a community made by people, for people. Now, having politics and parties is great and all, but without the proper debate and analysis that goes along with it, it’s just an empty shell of what it can be. What’s the point of voting if there’s no eRepublik version of Rush Limbaugh telling you why you’re wrong? I want to be told why I’m wrong, I want to argue, I want to discuss. The greatest thing about humanity is our ability to discuss, argue, and analyze. That shouldn't stop when our fingers meet the keyboard.

In our real lives, we are surrounded by multitudes of opinions. We are drowned in them. Rhetoric envelops us, insisting we think or act a certain way. Writing not only invokes an emotional response in a reader, but can even be so persuasive as to change one’s point of view on something. Isn't that neat? While explaining to you how writing warps your brain, I've been subliminally messaging your own gray matter throughout these small paragraphs. Your neurons are now convinced that the only way to solve their problems with angst is to write strongly-worded and well thought out articles on politics. They want you to have a nice debate, to teach someone something and, perhaps, learn a thing or two.

No need to thank me, just doing my job. But if you were to thank me, I accept donations. I’m not ashamed. So, I implore you, make yourself an ePolitical personality. Speak out on issues you care about. We've made our world. Go fill it.


DHS Reporting

Be sure to report any suspicious activity you see to the DHS. Do not make reports based upon assumption, only upon evidence and proof. We wish to make an eUS where unity elections are no longer needed and we no longer have the threat of being PTOed.





Ambassador Recruitment



As you know, foreign affairs are crucial to the success of the eUnited States. We are a powerful nation on our own, but without allies like Brazil, Russia, Argentina, China, etc etc, we would be overrun. These relationships are more crucial to the United States than ever before. So how can you as a citizen of the eUS get involved? There are still several vacancies left in our ambassador program, and you could become that missing link between the eUS and our next ally.

As our Secretary of State, Israel Stevens, says: "Apply to be an ambassador! See the world! Meet hot chicks!"
