USA, 08:00 (Oct11) | Day 691 of the New World

Sometimes, new citizens do not want to visit eRepublik official wiki or forums in their first three day. They are not active in the administration of the country but still play the game. They work, train, fight buy things just like everyone in the government and the military but, they don't post on the forums. That's why many citizens died (and/or inactive) before they reach level 15.

Wellness calculator: http://www.cccp-group.org/index.php?page=erep_wellnesscalc

(You can see your wellness by clicking on your avatar picture and then "Bio")
You start with 50% wellness, your wellness decides:
* How well you preform at work, how much you produce for your employer.
* Hos much damage you can do in a war
- Everything you do costs wellness, to train costs 1 wellness, works costs different depending on the Q of the company.




-Things that could increase your wellness-

Food
This is why you need food, if you are without food you will lose another 1-4 wellness per day until you die. There are different kinds of food, but buy only Q1 in the beginning. The food will give you about +1 wellness/Q (depending on your current wellness). So if you eat Q2 food you will get +2 wellness per day.
NOTE:
* if the citizen has between or equal with 1 and 10 wellness: -1
* if the citizen has between or equal with 11 and 50 wellness: -2
* if the citizen has between or equal with 51 and 80 wellness: -3
* if the citizen has between or equal with 81 and 100 wellness: -4


House
Other ways to improve your wellness is to buy a house, houses will give you about +Q wellness per day.

Gifts
You can also use gifts, you can receive +10 wellness every day, from gifts.
Gifts gives you +Q wellness but you need someone to give them to you.

As you can see your wellness is very important and your employer will always fire the ones with the least wellness first.
It can be hard to improve your wellness at first until you have skill enough to buy better food, gifts and a house.
But use the money you get at lvl6 to buy food and perhaps a house.




Hospital:
After you fight for the first time in a day, the Battlefield will display the "Hospital" button, which will direct you to the region page.
The Hospital is available only if all these conditions apply:
1. You have fought in a battle that day.
2. You did not already go to the hospital that day.
3. You have under 100 wellness.
4. Your region of residence has a hospital.

At the hospital, you can recover wellness lost in the fight by clicking the "Heal" button once per day at no cost whatsoever.
If your region does not have a hospital, you can relocate using a Moving ticket to another region that has one, and heal there.


Hospital Quality:
Q1: +10 Wellness
Q2: +20 Wellness
Q3: +30 Wellness
Q4: +40 Wellness
Q5: +50 Wellness

How do I make my character eat?
At server reset (00:00 eRep Time, 12 AM PST), your character automatically eats one piece of the highest quality food in your inventory. Make sure to keep food in stock, because not eating causes your character to incur a wellness penalty.

How do I heal?
You can only use a hospital after you've fought at least once during a battle. As soon as you decide to stop fighting, click "go back to battlefield" on the battle menu and in between the damage reports for the opposing sides should be the word "Hospital". Click on that word and click the "heal" button and you should gain wellness from the hospital.

DO NOT FIGHT AFTER USING A HOSPITAL! You can only heal once per day, so don't exhaust yourself too early or you won't be able to fight if the battle rages on for another day.


How do I vote?
First, you need to be experience level 6. Next, you can only vote on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month - this is when presidential, party president, and congressional elections are held, respectively. On these dates, go to the "community" tab on the menu and click "elections" and then vote for your favored candidate.

Why should I vote?
Aside from patriotism and the fact that votes in eRepublik matter exponentially more than they do in real life (many presidential elections have been decided by just one vote) - you also get two XP points from voting. That's the equivalent of one fight people!

Why should I join a party?
You can vote regardless of what party you belong to, even if you don't belong to a party - however, if you have aspirations to become a president, congress(wo)man, or party leader, then you need to join a party.

What determines my productivity?
There are several factors which determine your productivity at work:
-Your wellness (health)
-Your skill level
-The number of employees at your job
-In raw materials companies; the resource value of the region


What determines my battle damage?
There are several factors which determine the damage you do in battle:
-Your wellness (health)
-Your strength level
-The quality of the weapon you have (-50% damage if none)
-Your military rank (private, corporal, etc.)


What is a "wall"?
A "wall" is a term used by military officials to describe the damage a particular region can take before falling to the enemy. A region's wall strength is higher based on population and defense system quality and is raised by defenders fighting against attackers. If the wall has not reached zero by the end of the battle, the defenders win. If the wall reaches zero by the end of the battle and the defenders cannot restore the wall to previous strength levels, the attackers win.

What is currency?
A currency is a unit of exchange, basically money. Gold is the universal currency in eRepublik which means that you can use Gold in every nation unlike local currencies.
In eRepublik you can also find local currencies like CAD (Canadian money), AUD (Australian money) and so on. These currencies can only be used in certain country.


How to gather currency?
# Have it donated to you by someone else who has that currency.
# Work in another country and receive it as salary (Example: Work in a company in USA and get USD as salary)
# Exchange Gold or another currency for it (Example: Sell 5 Gold for 250 USD (American dollars).


How and where to spend currencies?
# Buy items such as food, weapons, gifts etc on the Marketplace
# Buy Gold by exchanging on the Monetary market
# Invest it in your company and pay it as salary to your employees.
