Hello everyone!
So, with the alarming population growth of the eUSA
It is common sense that babies who are instructed in their first steps become better citizens within this wonderful game making the eUSA stronger in the long run.
With that in mind, enjoy this guide article.
Always remembering that any suggestion is super welcome!
I was born - What do I do?
Training - Do they have raspberry flavored meals after training?
Fight - Ground or Air?
Social - I want to be more famous than Beyoncé!
Politics - My name is Pericles!
Important things to know:
1 - This is not a war game. You won't go out shooting and killing enemies. If you're looking for that, this is not the right place. There's war, but it's not CoD. It has social interaction, but it's not The Sims. There's a breeze, but it's not Harry Potter. You see, eRepublik is a big ocean, where several possibilities are played, you go with the flow. Basically there are three modules: Military, social and political. You can do well in one, two or all the options the game offers.
The Force is with you, young Padawan. PLATO is the limit.
2 - Having a “social life” in the game is important. It's a game where having alliances and supporters will make you important. This will become clear later in the article.
3 - Plato is the owner of the game, I know you were thinking “what the hell is Plato?”. It's how admins are known. He is the shaft of the game's speedboat.
Hello my little one...
When entering the world of eRepublik, it is important that you understand the following:
A - Working, training and fighting daily are essential. (only free training for the first times, we’ll explain more on that later).
Then get a job - On the Market tab => Job Market;
Take the free training - In the My places tab => Training centers;
Fight almost exclusively on air battlegrounds.
B - Don't improve your training center for the time being. Don't spend gold on it.
Don't spend energy bars fighting. Gather as many bars as possible.
Right after you’re born, you will discover that there are Training Centers.
They can be upgraded, but this comes at a cost. So DON'T DO IT! That's what you heard/read, not upgrading training is your duty at the moment.
As we already said, you must save your gold at the moment. With the current dynamics of the game, for you, having strength is not important.
Of course, every day you must use the available FREE TRAINING. ONLY THE FREE TRAINING. It's boring, we know, training once a day, only in the most basic center, which is free. Believe me, we all go through these difficult days. You are going to survive.
When you enter the Wars tab (pictured above), a whirlwind of battles will appear.
And you, bold and crazy to fight to defend eUSA, will want to go out shooting in general. We know.
But pay attention to the following tips:
1 - Fight preferably in air battles:
We indicate the aerial modality, because it is where you will notice a significantly greater evolution. It won't take you long to be substantially strong to catch up with the rest of the players.
2 - While raising your combat level in the aerial part, you are free to get some medals in the land part of the battle. Few, very few!
We recommend doing this a few times, just to accumulate some gold.
DON'T SPEND ANY ENERGY BAR!!
DON'T SPEND ANY GOLD!!
Keep Q1 and Q2 houses active.
You can buy houses on the Market
We recommend the Q1 Housing Program which currently helps you purchase your first house. If you need further help, make sure to contact the current Secretary of Interior Harvey R Specter.
When choosing your place of residence, you need to take into account the following factors:
- How expensive it is to live in the place you’re looking to live
- How expensive it is to move around whenever you need to fight elsewhere
- Production bonuses for Food, Weapons, Housing and Air Weapons depending on what you wish to produce.
Currently, one of the best places to live would be the region of District of Colombia. West Virginia is also a good region to reside in.
For further information on Residence and cost impacts, feel free to consult here: https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/City_tutorial
You may change your residence the following way:
It's no secret that everyone who enters this game immediately wants the formula for success. And luckily for you, we're willing to help you with that.
So let's go...
At this point, you must have noticed that the game has the infamous FUEL that only served to spoil things even further.
But the fact is, you only have 70 fuels A WEEK! Use it wisely.
WE RECOMMEND
Spend 10 Fuel per day.
Never less, but if you want, it's worth more than 10.
2 Fuel WILL ALWAYS be invested in AIR battles. Fight in air battles with your energy at the maximum always!
Reminder: don't spend energy bars.
The 8 that are left must be to win the BH medal - Battle Hero. When you want to fight for BH, it is to take both sides of the battle. They will give you gold. Gold that you won't spend anytime soon.
1 - even if you fight on both sides, you will only spend 1 Fuel;
2 - If you fight in USA, don't hit in the first minutes of the round. Wait, so you don't end up losing.
3 - Battles of divisions 1 to 3 are usually free. Be smart.
4 - Spend as little energy as possible:
20~30 on the losing side.
40~60 on the winning side.
Just as a reference, as it may change a little.
Make sure to check the national feed for the battle priorities usually released by the President, the Vice President or the Secretary of Defense.
Result:
It will be 4 golds per fuel
Adding 32g per day “guaranteed”
You can do this until your AIR PATENT goes up enough to fetch 2 SH per day.
SH is the aerial equivalent to the BH medal of the terrestrial. With the difference that it is worth 10 gold and is more difficult to conquer.
Following this plan, remember to always invest the 2 Fuels daily with maximum energy in aerial fights, you will go up in rank until you get the SHs. Be patient and you will get there soon enough!
Sincerely,
Secretary of Interior Harvey R Specter

Thank you.
Might want to recommend DC for residence - population currently 38
West Virginia population is currently 46 so only 3 more before the cost (in terms of increasing house activation cost & reducing duration bonus) of residing there increases
see https://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/City_tutorial for details on impact of residence and house cost
e.g. for a Town (population under 50)
when you activate a house you pay a 1% tax based on market price of the house
& get +20% bonus for duration - i.e. 8.4 days instead of 7
For a large Town (population 50 to 99)
activation tax is 2% and duration bonus is only +10% (so now get 7.7 days or 8,4 days)
for real numbers if House costs 10K cc the per day cost of the house would be
in a Town (10K + 1% tax)/8.4 ~ 1202 cc
& for a Large Town (10K + 2% tax)/7.7 ~ 1324 cc
You can see these cost factors by checking the residence tab
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/city/Frankfort/overview for Frankfort Kentucky
where tax is 3% and duration bonus is only 5% (7.35 days) or ~1400 cc per day per 10K of house cost
So moving cost to WAM in say Kentucky will be more than offset by saving in House cost
Also if have Q1 & Q2 house than triple the above numbers since market price over 30K to buy both
😵 = x )
DC is now bad for residence
Thanks! As a new player, can definitely say I did not know SH medals are worth TEN GOLD! Gotta try up my air battle game!

Nice to see some regular gubmint media for a change. Keep it up

☑️
Residence should be in one of the safe regions:
regions that are training war partners not occupy - except briefly when there is a need for them to move to another region. So residence should be in one of these
Alaska
California
Florida
Kentucky *
Nebraska
Tennessee
Virginia *
Washington
Washington, D.C.*
West Virginia *
* because of high population these regions would be best to avoid
see https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/where-to-reside-2758655/1/20
Military Unit Selection - many good choices
One really bad choice is "the Rough Guys"
which is the default US MU if you used the App to create your account
It is the default only because it is the oldest US MU it has mostly inactive "dead" players
If you do not see a significant dialog on your MU feed that is a good sign that you want another MU that is more active
Do not produce Food Raw Material - it is much cheaper to buy than to produce
