Value of Voting Stats
There's lots of valuable information available here on eRepublik but you need to know where to find it and what it means. If you look on eIreland's Society Page you can see that the number of eIreland's "Active citizens" is listed as around 408. You can see from this page that eIreland's population was at one time scraping 2000, but has been slowly falling from 500 since 2011. However, you will see as you read on that these figures are not an accurate representation of eIreland's true active population (unfortunately).
A better measure of eIreland's true active population is to look at elections and voter turn outs. Each month there are three elections (Country President, Congress, and Party President). By examining and averaging these numbers we can get something like an accurate picture of how many active citizens there are in eIreland in a given month. We know that voters cannot be dead or banned citizens because citizens must log in to vote. Another advantage of this data is that the admin look to discount illegitimate multi votes from elections. This means that to the extent that the admin's security is effective the validity of our data is not damaged by multiple votes.
Lines and Numbers
I've taken the liberty of graphing some election data so that you can see what our election statistics look like from January 2012 until present.
Conclusion
This data has a few uses:
1. Compare monthly figures to referendum and voting turn outs to see how valid a specific study or poll is.
2. Look at trends in active population to see how we're doing as a nation at keeping folks interested and retaining players.
3. Relate this data to other information like national damage to see how we're doing on a per capita bases or how various elements of our performance relate to population.
4. Compare eIreland to other countries to get a more accurate picture of where we stand in the world.
Census results will be released soon, if you missed the census you can fill it out here!
Also Party Presidential elections are just around the corner on the 15th day of every month. Make sure to vote and be counted!
Thanks.

Nice work Conway o/
Looks like the general downward trend has continued since last I saw this data...
We're picking back up again it seems!
Yes, there's a promising little lip at the end there. 🙂
very informative, thanks for publishing
Good stuff Conway and the exiles from eUK seem to have bumped up the numbers.
Strength and Honour
Nice. Good work.
Can Conway point those months when he betrayed irish community and joined british invasion on Ireland as british citizen?
And what census?
Census organised by a proven thief of state money, scammer of irish citizens and traitor of irish community.
Yes...i am sure that census will be legit...sure.
Well done Ian...you made this country even a bigger joke then Sweet did.
yep still one of the most bizarre rises to power that i have seen in recent months. i guess thats the way to reach the top here. participate in a theft , never return the money, "loan out the money to various people"perhaps this was the key) and then try to donate money to eUk before going to them and denouncing eireland . then when you think people have forgotten about you return. i dont think eIreland dont have a moral compass but atm I think the kunts are pleasuring themselves with it!
Where Ireland stand in the world?
It does not.....its on its knees before british overlord tjanks to Sweet's government who sold ireland to brits without any resisstance.
And Ian's government mearly continue to lick british feets.
I guess this orcs like the taste....
voted only because of thomas malthus - I consider my views somewhat neo-Malthusian myself.

rather than see some stupid census i would like to know how much money you loaned to ian e coleman and seanan mrconway i think thats a more interesting number so to speak.
Good work MrC. Haven't seen MoC this vibrant for a very long time. 🙂
MoC kicks ass.
