PETITION TO ADD _________ TO EREPUBLIK THAT THE ADMIN WILL IGNORE

Day 775, 17:54 Published in Singapore Singapore by Charles Martel

First of all, I used the Wikipedia article for internet users per country for most of this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users

Then, I ranked the countries that were not yet in eRepublik:
18. Vietnam
27. Taiwan
29. Egypt
30. Nigeria
32. Morocco
35. Saudi Arabia
51. Sudan
52. Algeria
54. Syria
57. Kenya
59. Belarus
60. Dominican Republic
61. United Arab Emirates
63. Tunisia
65. Uganda


Just for comparison, Hungary is number 42 on the list and Romania is number 38, while Poland is number 20. Croatia is 68 and Serbia is 58. The lowest country on eRep was North Korea, ranked 195 with a total of 0 internet users, as it’s not connected to the internet. Besides that, the lowest are Moldova at 94 and Estonia at 93.
Of those countries, some we can discount immediately due to location (Nigeria). The ones that share a border with existing eRep countries are:
Vietnam
Taiwan
Egypt
Syria
Belarus

Basically, that’s the order I’d add new countries in, except maybe giving more priority to Belarus since it’s such a big gaping hole in Europe. Vietnam especially was surprising to me, since it has so many internet users but still doesn’t exist in eRepublik. Taiwan would be controversial if added, so I see why they might have avoided that one. Also, there are a lot of North African countries with high populations of internet users, so adding Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco soon might not be such a bad idea. I would hope that they just add Egypt first, as it would be a good test case for the Arabic world.
