Considering our higher production bonuses I’ve decided to write an article that will explain what are the profitable production methods and companies, as well as few other useful things any informed citizen should use. People often say that there’s nothing left in this game except its military aspect, but as a person who works with the state money and loves to follow the markets I strongly disagree with it. There are still many ways you can have playing with economy and I’d be glad if more of our citizens would understand the importance of that.



In order to understand how the production works in Erepublik you need to know the things that affects the production. That’s what makes the Ireland relevant in your decision making process. eIreland and its Governments are in charge of creating the profitable environment for its citizens and those who’d like to become eIrish. Profitable environment brings more players over here, especially those interested in production. I’ve been involved in most of the Government during the past few years, working hard to ensure we have a stable, profitable and production friendly facilities.

So, how does country gets the resources? Plato has organized the resource wars, which took place more than a year ago. If I remember well I’ve been Irish MoD back then and there’s been just a few active Irish citizens. We still had IBhoy, Sweet Drinker and other old Irish legends. We had to organize several wars in order to get the resources that would come up at some point when your ‘domination points’ became the highest in the game. To avoid any complications I’ll just skip to the part when it was really hard to get the resources you wanted. I’ve been organizing and coordinating our soldiers and we managed to get 75% weapon & 55% food bonuses. We placed them in two of our regions - Mayo and Cork. We wanted to avoid having them in the many regions to enhance our region bonus (more about this later). The rest of food bonus came from the concession signed with the USA few weeks ago, so now we also have 100% food bonuses. Some smaller countries didn’t want the bonuses so they’re not under threat by the big countries, but we took the bold step and went for them all which took a lot of effort.

*Country bonuses in eIreland (Mayo, Cork & Shannon as a connection)

Anyway, the country bonuses are the main thing that affects the overall production bonus. The other segments of the production outcome are region bonus, pollution & taxes. You need to take all of that into consideration when you’re building your companies. That’s how you make a good decision. Pollution grows with the amount of companies being used in a region. For example, pollution bonus will reduce the overall production outcome in Cork if there are many companies being used in there. However, the region bonus will increase it. Region bonus depends on the resources that are being placed in the region. There are five different bonuses for each industry. Each resource brings 2,3,4,5 or 6% increase in the total bonus (example: deer 30% brings 6% region bonus as 30 divided by 5 is 6). That’s why we’ve placed all of our country bonuses in two regions, Mayo for weapon industry & Cork for food industry.


In order to fully use your country bonuses, the region where the bonuses are located needs to be linked with the country’s capital. That’s why we always insist on holding Shannon, it’s our link between production region (Mayo) and capital (Cork). Otherwise the weapon bonuses wouldn’t be fully used. Another thing that affects the production indirectly are taxes. Higher taxes lead to more money being reduced from your account while producing, which means lower profit for your production outcome. We always keep our taxes at its minimum. Running a country sometimes seems to be a title thing, but there’s a lot of game mechanics and strategies behind the curtains. In order to make proper decisions as a country leader, you need to know all this stuff and create the strategy that enables you to create a successful environment for the company owners.

The formula for a total outcome is fairly simple:
*You can open any region information to check the bonuses and pollution for it

As you can see, apart from country bonuses it’s highly important to take the pollution and region bonuses into consideration. If pollution is higher than region bonus in the region you plan to place your holding into then it becomes more profitable to place your holding in a region with no region bonuses (Shannon for example) and use only country bonus on production. That’s what needs to be taken into consideration all of the time as pollution often changes.

There are several country with better bonuses than ours, but most of them are so polluted that it becomes unprofitable to produce over there, however, there are few regions that aren’t polluted and have the best country bonuses. Of course, you’ll be patriotic as I am and place your holdings in eIreland so the taxes you’re paying can be spent on many useful projects we’re funding by them in eIreland.


Before creating your companies you should think about how profitable are those products are going to be. Just because something seems to be profitable doesn’t mean it is. There are several key factors you have to consider.

Main one is the production outcome explained above, in the previous paragraph of this giant article. But, that alone won’t give you a clear picture of what you wanna produce. There are several more decisions to be made. One of them is how profitable your workers are going to be. Then, is it profitable to produce raw material for yourself, or simply buy them off the market. Also, what are the taxes in eIreland...oh sorry, you don’t have to worry about that - they’re always minimum 1%. It’s important to know how the production actually works. For example, you’ve decided to build yourself Q3 food company and two raw material companies to produce your own Q3 food. Let’s take a look at the profitability of this decision.


You won’t need workers, so naturally there’s no extra costs except the 1% work tax. Let’s imagine your Q3 food company with its raw companies has been located in Cork, that has 211% production bonus. Considering the price of the raw companies and their production outcome the Q4 raw companies are, by far, the most profitable ones. That’s because of the current high price of gold which won’t be changed that soon. Those raw companies will produce 3,69 food raw material each, and Q3 food company needs 6,33 food raw for each ‘work” which is why you’ll need two Q4 food raw material companies. It will, as explained above produce 211 Q3 food worth 206 IEP under the current prices on the Irish market, a bit less if sold under the lowest global market, but you won’t sell there anyway.

*the table above shows the production of food raw materials in Cork under 211% bonuses

Producing the Q3 food, while having two Q4 FRM companies will bring you a daily profit of 200cc and in order to build them up you’ll need 80 golds for Q3 food company (when there’s no discount) & 17 000cc for raw material companies which makes your investment worth 85 000cc. It will take you over a year (425 days) to return the investment. Have in mind that in case you decide to produce it for yourself won’t have to buy food for yourself.

In case you’re up to producing with workers included you’ll need to take the wages into calculation, as well as the taxes while selling the stuff. You can make your own formulas and profitability based on the tables listed above in the article. There used to be excel tables with all the profitability outcomes for each product / raw, but I haven’t seen those for a long time. I might do one soon, but until then there’s something for you to play with too. My advice to you would be to focus yourself on Q3 food companies in Cork and back them up with Q4 FRM factories.

If anyone is willing to join me in the Ministry of Finances to work on the table please feel free to do so, it will be very useful for our citizens.


I’ve proposed a new project by the Irish Ministry of Finances that would help the Irish citizens to invest in the companies. We’d secure the 1 million IEP budget for the project since the last few days have provided some profits. We’d encourage our citizens to build advised companies and it would probably be funded with 100% of the FRM companies investment, the food companies would be built by the citizens themselves. We still haven’t concluded all the requirements and conditions of the project, but as soon as that’s done the project is going to be launched. I’d prefer if we’d build about 120 Q4 FRM companies for Irish citizens who’d be willing to build food companies. Each Q4 FRM factory brings 31cc profit per day. It brings the money back much faster than having them combined with Q3 food companies, but in that case you still have to buy food.



You probably noticed the recent changes in the Monetary market. Gold prices are constantly rising, making the currency less and less valuable. So, why wouldn’t you make some money out of it and preserve your assets. For example, I’ve been running our assets recently and when I said we ‘changed our assets’ in my last financial report it meant we sold our products and bought gold. That gold was much cheaper than it is today, and it’s already sold. You need an org to work on a bigger scale, but unless you’re really experienced I wouldn’t suggest you to get one. I’ve seen too many countries and individuals losing tons of money lately. So far, I only know one country except Ireland that made a great profit recently - eCroatia. I didn’t speak to many people, but from what I saw on the MM most of the orgs sold their gold too early and lost a lot of it. But, there are many things and advices you could use and learn how to make profits. The main and most simple one is so called “gold fishing”.

If you place the 5000 IEP offer on the monetary market and sell it for 0,002g per IEP you’ll earn 10 golds. Those 10 golds can be sold for 8500 IEP on the monetary market which will bring you up to 3500 IEP profits. Once you place your 0,002 offer it takes up to 10 days until it’s being sold and that’s not even being sold in more than 50% of cases.


Easy profit, isn’t it? That’s what we do in the Government with bigger amounts through the orgs that can accept more than just 10 golds per day. During some periods you can’t sell any of that currency, but there are few times it gets sold and when it does then it’s a nice profit. Some national orgs often makes wrong decisions and try to affect the monetary markets by doing some actions on them, which usually suits me cause I’m ready for it all of the time.

Another useful advice would be to buy 10 golds every single day. You always need gold & energy bars. Those are the two most valuable things in this game. Make sure you use all of your 10g limit each and every day. Buy the gold before the day change (as late as possible) and sell it after the day change (as soon as possible).
