V2 Feature: Moving Tickets and Distance
In the following days I will release two articles relating my impressions about the V2, and a couple of things I've found during my beta-tester experience. This article is a brief summary about something that is going to change in the V2: Moving Tickets and its implications.
Changes Ahead
Like all the other industries in v2, the moving tickets sector will have its own components, each one providing one benefit when the moving ticket is used:

<img src="http://beta.erepublik.com/images/icons/industry/movingtickets/part_packaging.png" /> Packaging increases the happiness (from 0 to 10)
<img src="http://beta.erepublik.com/images/icons/industry/movingtickets/part_itinerary.png" /> Itinerary increases the moving distance (from 1 to 5 zones)
The Moving Distance
This is the main point of the article. In V2, there will be certain Zones around the World, and in order to travel to regions that are located in different zones, you'll need tickets with higher moving distance attribute. Basically, the farther the region is, the higher moving distance attribute you'll need.
There are 4 horizontal and 5 vertical lines delimiting 20 different zones in the New World, from A1 to D5:

Here's a few maps showing all erepublik regions and their respectively zones:

Some Thoughts
With the implementation of regional zones, the deployment of mobile troops to distant regions such as China or South America will be a harder task for most of the european countries, as well as it's going to be harder to american countries to deploy its troops into european or asian soil.
The wars tend to become more regional - even in a globalized eWorld where nowadays a polish mercenary group can decide if Thailand is going to invade Malaysia or not, for example - taking in consideration it will be harder to deploy troops to distant regions, and neighbouring countries will concern more about keeping alliances with themselves. Perhaps the Sol alliance will become more functional.
The most affected countries (if there will be any) with this change are those trying to keep distant colonies, such as Poland/Peru. For example, if Brazil attacks Peru without triggering a MPP with Poland, the task of deffending the colony might be much more difficult for Poland. But that's just speculation.
Like many other changes that are going to happen, this will make warfare and military strategy quite more interesting than it is already. I really hope so.
If you're going to use any map posted in this article, do it, but please give me the proper credits, it took me a while to take screenshots, cut and color all those regions.

good article
By the way, I am looking for a job, manufacturing skill 17.71, PM me with your offer. I'm the cool employee you always wanted
Kinda weird, that you need q1 ticket to move from Spain to Thailand, but need q2 to move from Chile to Peru
^
Indeed.
Awesome. Amazing. Awwwww.
TRAITOOORR!!!111 [3]
Nice article, this ne moving ticket system was the more confused tool in my opinion. The admins are complicating alot this game
TRAITOOORR!!!111 [4]
s2
o artigo deve ta bom, pena que ta nesse idioma feio
Just I liked it?
There are some inverossimile things, but we are in eRepublik, c'mon :]
Nice article, voted =]

português =_=
TRAITTORR... trollollolll
seriously guys, you need to get yourself something to do, you seem to be pretty bored to troll a MT article...
Back to the article, Very nice explanation on the new system, I like it!
@Chucky Norris: We are just kidding
TRAITORRRRR X23123124354534
except for that, nice article, but we still have mpps, so it doesnt make too much of a difference
good
nice one cav o/
nice tutorial
I hate Moving Tickets in V2, it's not too good
Spain is closer to China than Western Russia lol
nice article
Geography 101 failed to deliver.
Voted for a good article though.
Yugoslavia doesn't exist for a long time (I know you know but I had to say this )
"Spain is closer to China than Western Russia lol" x2
Maybe this should be resolved this way:
If we pick B3 for example then any other "field" that borders with B3 (A2, A3, A4, B2, B4, C2, C3, C4) should be one moving distance far. Then every other field that borders one of those bordering field should be two moving distances far and so on.
Only problem is that this way we wouldn't need tickets with 3 moving distances or more so admins should create additional zones.
artiga, dont waste time answering the canadian norrys, canadians dont have any sense of humour
Alex: I said Yugoslavia beause it wouldn't fit "Croatia Serbia Bosnia" there.
I do not agree with your idea... Somehow I think this tickets change is really going to make warfare more interesting and force neighbouring allied countries to work more together and depend less on distant allies.
Vou fazer um jornal em mandarim.
Parabéns Cavalcanti! The new system is strange, but it's becoming a lot more real than before.
Hmm. A3 > C5 = 5?
Also, what about A1 to A5? Is that four zones or one?
Great Article
@Ayeshan Dakseus: Yes. 1 as standard, 1 to move from A to B, 1 to move from B to C, 1 to move from 3 to 4 and 1 to move from 4 to 5. Five zones in total. :> That's how I do the maths.
nice
you sank my battleship
someone said trolling?
those zones are idiotic, these should be dynamic, not static. It's stupid that to move from croatia/serbia to romania/hungary you need ticket for 2 zones, while you can move all the way from france to russia on 1 zone... i already had problems with that in beta, and with moving out from canada O_O
Votado

Yugoslavia???????????
