National Goals, motivation for everybody
Dear citizens,
In about two weeks we will once again have presidential elections in the New World. But this time, it will be different. So very different. Elections mean campaigns, and campaigns means promises. And promises made to the population are actually goals for the politicians to achieve. When we take the campaign promises and turn them into national goals for which everybody must work, then we add a bit of national pride as well as competition spirit, we get a new eRepublik feature.
The next presidential candidates will have at their disposal the option to set three national goals, one for each of the following sections:
- Economy: Increase the GDP by x %
- Society: Increase the population by x %
- Military: either keep all current regions, or by the end of mandate own control of specified new regions
It must be said that there is only one way to do this: set up three goals, or set nothing at all. You can't choose only partially, let's say, only one society goal and forget about the rest. You need at least three goals in order to have a valid campaign. Please consider that in the future more goals will be added, for each of the three categories. For now we start simple, to get everybody used with the concept. Also, suggestions and feedback about this are very welcome. The page for creating national goals looks like this.
And now we jump to the election day. Instead of the plain list of candidates, you will see a page similar to this.
The cool thing is that each candidate has his own goals presented to the voters, so you will really vote advisedly. From now on, you will know what you are voting for, not just words! And when the “judgment day” comes, there will be no place for the politicians to hide..
But we keep saying the goals are "national" while just the presidential candidates are proposing them. Yes, it seems personal, but remember with your vote you will be choosing the candidate and the program for your country. Therefor, the moment a candidate wins the elections, his campaign goals turn into national goals. On the country stats page, a new tab lists current national goals, as well as already accomplished ones, in the past months. You can see here a fictive picture illustrating this.
It's normal for the goals to be national, because, after all, to have as a target to conquer X or Y region of the New World by the end of the month, is the whole country's job. Everybody must play smart together. It is not just a one-man job. And mainly the country should be proud of the accomplishments, but of course the leader has his merits too.
“The bigger, the better,” they say. When it comes to the monuments related to fulfilled national goals, this is true. The biggest monument shows proudly that all three goals were accomplished, a wonderful job done. The medium one means that only two of them were "checked", a pretty good job. And the smallest means that only one out of the three national goals was successfully fulfilled. As you can see, you can watch the history of any country in the world, to see what they have managed to achieve in the previous months.
Things to be considered:
- The 2nd day of the month is the last one in which goals can be edited or created.
- Also, the final candidates list for presidential elections is closed in this day.
- On the 4th day of each month the previous goals are analyzed and if fulfilled Monuments that commemorate your nations achievements are created.
- On the 5th we have the new elections and on the 6th we have the new national goals.
Good luck everybody, in your attempts to fulfill national goals and achieve monuments like these!

great addition...
kewl story bro
Interesting
Thnxx.. !!! nice addition.
It's great.
looks promising!
I like it.
wow...great!
thanks's
yeah good
what prevents a country from putting:
1-maintain current regions
2-increase gdp by 0.1%
3-increase pop by 0.1%
and still getting the monument?
nothing special imho
IT SUCKS!
We want our Society Simulation back, just take away this society-based looking "Age of Empires"!
funny
vote, gj
ayo ayo Indonesia, sore ini kita harus menang
dung dung dung dung dung
UK controlling romanian regions. LOL THIS BLASPHEMY.
I like this new feature! It helps the nations to be proud of themselves.
Great upgrade! Congrat!
Rather cool.
Thanks
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
great !
Great !!
Good addition/
nice feature
WE WANT RW MODULE!
perfect!
not good, i think all their's goals are similar or same
so it may be meaningless
It sucks
Wow, this is great!
nice ^^
super. only you should also put as national goal "number of citizens over level 6". that`d be great. a baby-boom doesn`t always reflect the activity of a nation
Nice!
Great! Voted!
this looks like PEACE propaganda, as usual
cool
very very gooood
well
great admins
Vote
che cosa inutile
Very nice!
I WANT MY HELICOPTER!!
according to the GDP formula, if a country president spends 10k GOLD in creating worthless companies and worthless export licences, etc etc etc then the GDP will rise 10k+
So GDP is plain stupid to add as a goal.
This is a nice idea, need to wait and see what other goals can be put down though, it's a little light at the moment though
nice
Weird. That's all I am going to say.
Great !!!
Interesting... Well done the admins. Now how about sorting out the RM distribution?
Great!
Admins do not work where you should be. It's unable to use chat rooms, the company's tool does not work or show bad results.
How can candidate promise that the GDP will grow, if it is impossible to understand how it is calculated.
FAIL
I see only option to increase gdp, and increase population at the social and economic parts. Sounds a bit limited. Looks like all the appliers are forced to make a BET on what will happen in the future?
The military thing seems at least a better, but again, many things are decided by the whole congress or by the president and by the circumstances.ű
So at the end everyone will have excuses, why they failed...
Anyway, for a new GOALs I'd suggest:
Social:
"Make alliance with _this_ country"
"Abolish alliance with _this_ country"
Military:
"Help _this_ ally to defend _this_ area"
"Help _this_ ally to obtain _this_ area"
Economic:
"Lower _this_ tax"
"Increase _this_ tax"
From now on, you will know what you are voting for, not just words!
Shouldn't there be some prize (gold) for country if achieves one, two or all 3 national goals? That could help smaller countries with paying mpp-s.
Rubbish.
Huh? GDP numbers are so random it's not even funny. Why use such a flawed metric?
great but i also dont want to see chinkens in the end of the battles...
Nice addition.
is GDP real stat or not, what about other stats - companies sales ?
LOL, GDP increase as a goal? I think we all know how good economy indicator that really is.
Sweden is ranked 49th. The following renowned economic mights are ahead: Bolivia (18th), Paraguay (31st), Belgium (33rd), Austria (35th) and Pakistan (38th).
2-click voters who don't read articles just vote for the guy that promises the most. Who cares about monuments, since they don't actually give anything to the nation who gets them?
10 new regions ?? is this a joke
nice additions ! good job
/salute
no spanish, no vote
Well done Admins. Great job
I can't remember the last time I was thankful from admins!! But I'm really am now!! All Hail Admins!!
Nice addition.
new economic and war modul?
Voted + Subscribed !! o/
So, am I the only one who see no point in this?
Good
no there are a lot of people who see no point
Hmmm...interesting. Let's seen how it goes
hmmm... it seems interesting
awesome.
ок
How about having a monument for something *really* difficult instead? For instance:
-Have your country "travel" around the world - Hungary is pretty close to getting this one, since they have region swapped their way from Urals to Heilongjiang.
-Draw a smiley with your country regions on the map
-Control a region on each continent for a week
Nice.
Cool! Vote
Well, if Canada sets goal to conquer Florida next month, than USA knows abaout it, and prepares for the attack too.
and what happens when a country finally achieves all of its goals, do we get something then?
"and what happens when a country finally achieves all of its goals, do we get something then?"
Yes, you get a pretty monument that serves no purpose whatsoever
new economic and war modul?
Very Nice,
Voted
It's better than nothing. Voted.
It really limits what you can do militarily, as couldn't a nation owning the territories that you want then know that you will attack?
NOT VOTED!
This will push the game to certain lines! Keep eRepublik free of that. The great thing about this game is that you can choose to promise everything you want. Either put 100 different kind of goals in it which suit every kind of presidential campaign, or don't!
NOT VOTED!
and what's the punishment for NOT completing the goals?
You lost me with using GDP increase as one of the targets. If you want that you should fix the GDP formula first.
drewxyz-this is fantasy

Also you are forcing the presidential candidates to promise a very limited set of stupid things and I don't know how newbies / two-clickers will react to this module. I find it quite likely that a significant portion of them will vote on who promises the most thus increasing idiots'/liars' chances to win.
Looks like Sid Meyer's Civilisation Series, but it's something new, anyway...
looks cool
SO COOL! YAY!
Very good feature that you added. Make this game more competetive. Great!
Nagyzee, then all candidates will promise to conquer the world next month, triple country population and have 100% GDP increase. Nothing else makes sense to me
Well I dont vote for candidate
but i vote for this
great job
or you can promise to conquer a region of your neighbour, and they set their goal to have one of your regions
at end of presidency you just swap your regions and than back, so everybody is happy
not just words but real plans!!!
great addition
