Good afternoon,

A few months ago we had a resource wars "tournament" and countries selected their own resources. The by-product of this tournament was that powerful countries (or even countries with a proper strategy) were able to select all the resources they wanted and no longer have to keep down multiple countries or regions in order to get a respectable amount of resources.

Before I comment on the resources of each country I would like to share my opinion on the three resources/products in eRepublik - Food, Houses and Weapons.

Food
Food companies can be worked as manager and there is no real difference between any quality of food, Q1 is the same as Q5. Since we have power packs now and a lot of extra energy from weekly challenge there is no true difference if you have to work in 5, 10 or 20 extra companies to create your food, so there is no real difference to me between 20% or 100% food bonus.

House
My current "energy bar" is 1800+1800 which is a ton of energy - I have no reason to increase it even more. Q1 to Q5 houses give no benefit. I only use houses for an hour whenever I will level up to get the extra FF or during the week change to reach 500pp quickly.

Remember you can not work as manager in house companies and based on the market prices and market wages, house companies are not profitable and currently, there are "zero plans" to introduce Q6 or Q7 houses, which would have made house companies and house bonus valuable.

As it is now, house companies and house bonus is useless

Weapons
This is the only resource that is valuable. Everybody fights with only Q7 weapons. There is a big difference between producing 18 or 20 Q7 weapons or between producing 450 and 500 raw.

For me, weapon resources are the only resource that matters.

Now, onto my rankings,


* For me the USA is the only Tier 1 country in game. USA has all the bonuses in its CORE regions.



* These are the countries that have full bonus, but must use colonies to achieve this. Notably missing are China and Poland.



* These are the countries that do not have full bonus, but have full weapons bonus. The United Kingdom has done well for itself getting 100/100/60. Also Ukraine has done very well for itself, not only securing itself a few regions free but 100% weapons.



* These are the countries that regardless of what other bonuses they have are ranked Tier 4 by me because they have only 80% weapons bonus.


It was good to see the resource distribution were selected by players and not by Plato, but in the end since all countries selected the resources they wanted there is no true reason for war between countries anymore. This we can see everyday as there are not many important battles.

Until next time,
smeagol.
