Join the new world

Welcome to the Ministry of Domestic Affairs, headed by me, Invalidation. I hope that I can entertain some of you guys this month, while also energising you to take part in making eSweden great!
As you can see I am trying out a new template for this paper, I hope you like it and find it useful. Any suggestions on how to improve the ministry or the paper are greatly appreciated!


The Lost Royals Dilemma: updates!
Following on from the introductory issue for this month's big MoDA event: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/1987274/1/20

The heads of the Great Houses of eSweden have stepped forth and are seeking members!
During the Lost Royals event, taking part in activites and helping out the eCountry add strength to your claim on the Swedish thone. Your legitimacy is what percentage of the claim you personally hold. However, you need more than just your own efforts to claim the crown. At least one of the Heads of the Great Houses will have to back you on coronation day, this will add the sum of that House's members legitimacy to yours for the purposes of claiming the crown.

Earning legitimacy just for yourself has its benefits too though, whether you are in a House, or a candidate for the crown. Your own legitimacy will grant you a portion of a 20k SEK prize fund! You will get your share whether you are part of a house adding their legitimacy to a candidate, or if you are alone and unaligned. At every level of participation, there are only benefits to taking part in this event, its fun and rewarding no matter how involved you choose to be!


The Great Houses of eSweden
House of Folkung
Folkungaätten
Hea😛 Marcurah


House of Vasa
Vasaätten
Hea😛 Alex Losjo Dahlstrom


House of Holstein-Gottorp
Holstein-Gottorpska ätten
Hea😛 Intyala


Join one of the Great Houses and you will add 2 strength to your claim, you can also try and sway the head to back who you want to be the new King of eSweden! We expect to launch IRC channels for each of the houses soon, and will see about getting subforums made on the Swedish national forum. I hope to see a lot of you taking part to make your house the greatest of them all!

Remember, you don't have to be eSwedish to take part, - the only difference is that you won't get your share of the prize fund!

Here you can keep track of how strong your claim is, which houses are performing best and how much you stand to get from the prize fund! So far we have had little participation, but I expect momentum to pick up soon, the rewards are great and you can put in as much or little effort as you like and still gain from it!

Here you can post your claims, remember that you can gain strength to your claim in many ways, not just by joining in on games. Simply post what you have done and a link to where & what it is, or you could send me a private message if you prefer.

Forum Games
The forum game 'The Murder Train' is similar to eVillage with some added unique twists, specifically, everyone will have a fragment of a map and will have to try and see other people's sections to put the whole thing together!
There are also more options for special actions to take with your characters! Traits make it possible to have the 'normal' character most people get, but still have a trick up your sleeve!
However, before we can begin, we need a lot more participants, we managed to get 30 for eVillage last month. Sadly it didn't reach a conclusion, however, this game certainly will! So sign up and take part, just joining the game will add strength to your claim for Lost Royals 😃
Here is a link to the game on the forums, it includes a Swedish translation of the rules for those who will find it easier to read it in Swedish: http://erepublik.se/viewtopic.php?f=270&t=22505

I also plan to launch 1 or 2 more games over the following days, so look out for those. Ideas I'm toying with at the moment is to somehow make a game themed with Viking Raiders, and another of a Lord managing his serfs. We'll see what I come up with, count on my imagination running wild as usual [:

An Article Game!
A unique feature of our blue-blooded friends is that they are very effective at spending money. Show that you are of noble birth by ordering these cakes by what their cost is! Since no-one guessed in the last article, I'll post it again! - comment in this article with the right answer (list cakes in order of price, highest first) to add 5 strength to your claim!
