50 Most Important eAmericans: No. 50-41
Lowell Kennedy
At a time of great national patriotism, I have undertaken a somewhat audacious process of trying to create a list of the 50 most important eAmericans of all time. They are politicians, economists, business owners, and warriors and their contributions—for better or worse—have helped to shape today’s United States.
This list is by no means perfect. It cannot be because it is a subjective ranking of very different individuals. However, I have attempted to balance between the primacy and recency of various candidates. I have included individuals for single great acts or for cumulative achievement. Preference was given to those that are in America and activity was considered. Additionally, I have weighed and deliberated over 100 members of our society. From that, I cut it down to a list of 70. And from there, I reached the select 50. I will release segments of the list in a serial format with bios of the different members. I would encourage new players to read and learn the history of some of the country’s most colorful individuals. I would also like to encourage other citizens to offer their thoughts on the list and the rankings. Additionally, please subscribe to receive notification of the latest release. Finally, I would like to thank Benn Dover, Dishmcds, Jordan Miller, Korbin King, Mercer, and Royamen for their various contributions as I compiled this list.
The first part of the list follows. In a reverse countdown, I will start with number 50.
50 – William Shafer
Among the youngest players to make the list, William Shafer is the General of the Army as well as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at present. He worked his way up the entire chain of command to be the leader of American armed forces. In addition to his military exploits, Shafer serves as a congressman from Michigan.
49 – Bl1ndn3ss
Bl1ndn3ss is originally from Portugal. Up until recently, he was the leader of the Democratic Party and had been for the last three months. He was the handpicked successor of outgoing party and country president Archibald. Before rising to party presidency, he was the head of the welcoming committee for the Democrats. He resided in Georgia and has since moved to Thailand.
48 – Alucard Bloodlust
Alucard Bloodlust is a world-renowned mercenary. He is not confined by borders and has played very little role in the United States. However, while in America, he became the world’s first general during the Indo-South African War. He is recognized in the official history of eRepublik for the accomplishment. He currently resides in Massachusetts.
47 – Leo Ruby
Leo Ruby is Floridian politician. He was the last mayor of Tallahassee before the release of V1. He has also served a term in Congress. He is known for his fervent demand to stay in and/or revert to the Beta period. He has sought the presidency recently but was defeated.
46 – PrincessMedyPi
PrincessMedyPi is one of the most important women in eAmerican history. She was born in Oregon, but moved to Turkey with the promise of success. After a brief interlude in Mexico, she succeeded in Turkey, becoming elected to Congress and serving as the party president of People’s Democratic Voice. She was also a presidential contender while in Turkey. She has returned to America and been elected to represent Alaska in Congress.
45 – Danny Boodmann T. D. Lemon Novecento
The world’s longest name was originally an Italian immigrant to the United States. He was active in the Erepublikans For Change and eventually was elected to a mayoral term in Sacramento. Additionally, he is a business partner in the housing, defense system, and wood industries of America. He has since moved to Austria and recently served as that country’s president.
44 – Kokach
Kokach is a former American military leader. He served as the National Security Council director, being appointed after BuzzyTheCat. He was also an early member of the USWP and served Congressional time representing them. He currently resides in the United Kingdom.
43 – John Dilinger
John Dilinger is a permanently banned citizen. The reasons for his ban are unknown. During his time, he was among the wealthiest American citizens. He was the owner of the Fourth Wall, the pre-eminent housing company of the US. His ban completely upset the housing markets and also upset the American economy.
42 – ExoM7
ExoM7 is a former seven-term mayor of Nashville. He also served as the party president of the GameFAQs (GFAQs). He currently resides in Iran and moves around to fight in resistance wars.
41 – Kronas
Kronas is a politician and international freedom fighter from Boston. He has participated in a half-dozen resistance wars. He has served a term as mayor of Boston. He has also served two terms in Congress. Kronas became a UCP member after an infamous falling out with the USWP, especially in regards to Kokach.

Pretty good stuff 😉

awesome
Any idea when the next 10 will be out?
The next ten is actually done, but I'm going to stagger releases some in order to provide myself some time to write longer bios for the higher ranked players. Probably two days, NoneSuch.
Awesome stuff Lowell. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
off: q2 food for 2.00 USD

I know like, three of those peoople, wtf.
I love this list. Can't wait for the next 10!
I can't be more important that Shafer, so I guess I didn't make the cut.
Looking forward to the next 10 Lowell
Good stuff man
Awesome work.
Great list -- next up, 50 Most Important eAmericans Under Level 14, and 50 Most Important Citizens of the New World!!
I'll be angry if i'm not #1! Nah just kidding i'm probably not even in the top 200 people.
"ExoM7 is a former seven-term mayor of Nashville. He also served as the party president of the GameFAQs (GFAQs). He currently resides in Iran and moves around to fight in resistance wars."
7? Iran? Guess you learn something new everyday.
I made the top 50, eh? Sounds good. I'd like to nominate my ego (which is huge, for those of you who don't know me) as number 10.
Please tell me I'm in there Lowell. Please!
BTW, I loved the "Blindness of the Banhammer" article. Best I've ever read save Platonic's last interview.
You did make the list TheSupernatural, haha. I haven't written your bio, do you want to do it? It might move you up a few spots.
love it 😃
Great list!!!
great job 🙂
Great stuff, am I still on the list? 😉 Well either way at least I got a shout out 🙂
Kokach was appointed by Immuno IIRC
Maybe you should do a list for Military and the Political part of Erepublik seperate, just a thought, apart from that a very good article, i dont i will make the list but maybe in future years 😉
nice article...useful article with spectacular style...I really like it...-more celeb news to the erepublik-
I liked it *applause* Too bad I haven't been around to make an impact enough to get on the list 😃

If you're going by XP, know that the calculation is blatantly wrong, I lost 1000 XP overnight for no reason and if you determine some people's XP, it should be a lot higher (Alucard for example)
maybe someday jew.
It makes me sad that this list blatantly excludes people in media. Media is one of the core fundamentals of eRepublik! Share the love!
yeah i can confirm what Benn and Emerick have said.. however one thing... I wasn't Max Power XIVV at that time I think i recently became Uncle Sam and I was not Banned, other players from our school were like Xavier Bestimax and Franz Fannon and Zombie Jesus.
either way, the whole John Dilinger incident was rather hilarious, yet slightly disappointing
Nice!
@Geno
I agree with you = P, but i am just saying that becuz i am being selfishly
I worked for forth wall back in the day. Those were such simpler times.
yeah so i dont think i made the list....
mby next month
Lmao I never noticed this
