What will follow are annotated links to important articles, blogs, and forum posts that have a bearing on the thoughts and actions of the eRepublic, particularly the eUSA. Most submissions will be in English (as that is the only language I read with critical clarity) and will be updated often. However, to avoid spamming, I will only post an article once a month. You, as motivated readers, must come back and check on things yourself.

How do you do this? (1.) Subscribe to The List, (2.) add me to your friend list in game, and then (3.) add this page's URL to your web Favorites. Check back often. Watch shouts for new updates marked with a "►". Your continued support is my only criteria for knowing that my efforts are appreciated.

Submission Policy for The List

Send me a note including one or more of your newspaper, blog, or forum posts. I'm looking for intelligently conceived and skillfully written writing in English that will assist a pro-USA player. (Translating a submission for me in the note will not suffice.) I don't have a problem with submissions that constructively criticize USA gaming or policies. However, if the information you give is misleading, slanderous, or rhetorical propaganda under the guise of a legitimate submission it will be posted as such.

I am not responsible for the content of any linked submission that I did not personally write. Likewise, I cannot guarantee that the content will not be edited after my listing or that the facts provided are legitimate. I welcome commentary concerning any error on my part or misrepresentation on the part of the submission's writer.

I reserve the right to reject or remove any submission without providing a reason and to annotate the link at my own discretion.
