Irrational eRepublik: 7

Day 3,072, 20:55 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Sweet Drinker




The Rules:

Compliance is voluntary.

You can hop around the globe for next to nothing. Fight for, or against anyone you wish. Nobody but you decides.

War is healthy, region bonuses do not rule your life. Little can be take away from you.

The Dictator does not rule your life. Neither does the CP or Congress. There is no power to take.

The ingame political mechanics do not affect your ingame lifestyle very much really.

The state Bank reserve has had no impact on your life in months, regardless of who holds it.

The entire state reserve would be unlikely to last the first round of a hostile AS.

Congress discussion is not an ingame feature. Admins intended for congressppl to submit proposal arguments using a device on the administration page.

Player accounts are more lucrative than tax bases of small nations.

Admins never granted governments ingame means of punishing non-compliance. The global drift away from offsite governance is the natural stripping away of contrived authority devised during an earlier version of this game.

The MoF, MoD and all the other ‘institutions’ are not real things. They are real people.

Political positions in small nations do not bestow authority upon the player. The player must bestow power upon the appointment.

Alliances are also not things. Allegiances have little to do with offices and everything to do individuals. Commitments are made to people, not stations.

Admins added Dictatorships to the game deliberately to offer players a choice.

Votes, ingame or out, have almost no direct bearing over where soldiers choose to fight or how hard. Their compliance to your authority is entirely voluntary.

MU’s are voluntary non-state dictatorships. Their popularity continues to grow while national politics wanes globally.

The majority of the ‘economy’ takes place directly on the battlefields now.

eRepublik provides no means for player generated text to directly influence game mechanics. Player generated text, such as this one, exist only to exert social influence over other players.

Voting is apportioned by membership. Influence is proportioned by contribution.

This world is not fair, all accounts are not equal. The fates national/international defenses rest in the hands of a few hundred players who wield superhuman power.

It is nobody’s job to respect your opinion. It’s not your job to respect mine.

Regardless of who wins an election or war, you’re probably going to hang out with the same people and try to do the same things.

Believing something doesn’t make it true. People are not good simply because they believe themselves to be so.

You do not have to listen to anyone you do not want to, no matter who is dictator/CP/cabinet/commander. Those ppl still need to earn your respect.

You don’t have to do anything anyone tells you. You are led by whoever you choose to follow, even if they hold nothing.

In eRepublik and eIreland, your participation in any war, trade, convention, mu, or political system is voluntary.
