The resource wars are upon us, the geopolitical environment is about to be reshaped. But what are resources all about?
There are 3 major industries in eRepublik: Weapons, Food and Houses. Each has a set of five resources associated with it (15 overall). Each region in the eWorld holds one of these resources, some are rarer than others.
Now, let's assume the basic productivity of a weapon company is 10 weapons per click. If a player hold citizenship in a country where there is currently a region with one of the five resources associated with the weapon industry, he'll get a 10% boost to productivity, 11 weapons instead of 10. If that region has a direct land connection to the capital, the bonus grows to 20%.
Overall, if a country has regions with all 5 resources of a specific industry, companies owned by its citizens will get a 100% production boost. Owning two resources of the same type doesn't increase your bonus. A situation in which a country holds all 15 resources is called "100/100/100".
Or at least it used to be called 100/100/100....
The upcoming resource wars introduce a few changes, among them:
1. A new 4th industry will be introduced with a new set of 5 resources
2. Rare resources will give larger bonuses relative to common resources
3. Bonuses will be now both country and region based, meaning that some weight will be given to the owner's citizenship and some to the physical location of the company (this part isn't very clear yet)
4. Regions can now hold up to 4 different resources
The upcoming wars will determine which countries will receive which resources. We won't get into the many details of how this event is conducted just now. Expect specific guidance from the Government soon.
Remember, more resources for Ireland means:
1. Irish companies will be able to produce more
2. Irish companies will make more money (save tax and work costs)
3. Ireland will become a more attractive destination for investment
4. More revenue for the Irish government
Stay tuned for government updates and get ready for an exciting month.

Your articles are very helpful, great work.
I have a question about the upcoming resource wars.
"Rare and very rare resources of the same industry cannot be placed within a specific radius from each other"
Does this mean that a rare and a very rare cannot be placed together, or just that 2 very rares cannot be placed together? If it's the former then small countries can't compete for maximum bonus.

rare and unrare of the same type cannot be placed within the same radius. check out my last article to see how large the radius is.
Good question, the phrasing isn't too clear...

Companies will be established on firm ground and benefit from the bonuses of the Region/Country they are based in. not the region alone. probably more the country. we will be able to get 100% resources as a country can capture the regions of other countries.
yeah , implementation of some parts isn't clear yet, edited
Rare and very rare resources of the same industry cannot be placed within a specific radius from each other.
just to clear that up for you
