The Revolution's Effect On the Libertarians

As we all know the Revolution, and the Libertarian Party were closely connected. One could argue that they both needed each other for survival, the Ying and Yang of the eRepublik World. The question burning in all our minds is that now the Revolution has faded, will the Libertarian party remain a force to be reckoned with for much longer? To answer that question we must first look at their party population over time, and connect their population changes to events within the Revolution.


Not big enough for you?


As we can obviously see, once Josh Frost was elected, the population jumped. When members of the Libertarian Party were publically declared Enemies of the State, the population absolutely skyrocketed. However, within the last 2 weeks, the revolution has stagnated, and as a result so has the population of the Libertarian party. When it comes to parties, stagnation is a sign of death. Parties need to actively grow and find new talent to be able to survive. Whether or not the Libertarian Party will return to the greatness it once was, only time can tell.



An amazing movie, I would recommend it, one of the best scenes here.
The Other Top 5 Parties

It's now time to take a looksie at The Revolution's effect on the other Top 5 parties. Again, we will start at their population changes. The first graph I have will be a percentage change graph to see the decay rate of the other Top 5 parties within the last 3 months. Note, it is based on percentages, not the number of members lost.


Size Matters.

As you can see, most of the Top 5 parties have been decaying at a slow and steady rate, all losing members at more or less the same rate over a longer period of time. The party with what appears to be the steadiest decay in members over time is S.E.E.S. For changes in Party Membership within the last month, we will defer to the next graph.





As you can see, the Libertarians were the only party with a dramatic change in members this month. However, the S.E.E.S party had a large drop in members, which would suggest that either some SEES party members left their party and joined the Libertarians, or they simply became disenchanted with the game and quit. There were no substantial changes to the USWP, Feds, or UIP.




This is what comes up when you Google "Activity Corner", blame Alexa, not me.
Domestic Activity

Now it's time to look at how The Revolution has impacted activity, and/or retention of new citizens throughout the nation. Two of the best, and easiest to measure ways of determining the social activity level of an eNation is to look at the number of votes in Congressional Elections during that Executive's term. This is a good indicator of domestic activity because it is around 2/3 of the way through the President's term, which would leave enough time for most social changes to take effect. It also shows the amount of interest in the Political side of the game that month.


Think you can handle a larger one?





In Closing

No matter what the numbers say, I personally had quite a fun time romping around during the Revolution. People on both sides, Unpure Lib, and Pure Revolutionaries can now join hands, sing Kumbaya, and reminisce about all the fun times they had this month.
