[Tutorial]How to Run for Country President
VoxHumana
As a relatively new player myself, I have been able to capitalize on my experience and write several guides for new players. I’d like to add this article to my growing collection of Tutorials.
How to Run for Country President, by Kernal Krapis.
And since I have never actually run for Country President, I am going to do that right now, so that I can publish my Tutorials from a place of experience. Hopefully many newbs after me will be inspired by these writings and will also seek the highest office in the land as I now hereby declare that I am doing.
That’s right, Step 1: Declare your Candidacy.
Done.
Step 2: You need to alert the Political Parties that you are a candidate for CP. I’m going to go ahead and do that right now.
But how?
Simple, send a PM to each Party President. It should look something like this:
Dear Party President,
My name is Krapis, and I have declared my candidacy for President of the eUnited States. If your party has a primary system, please include me in your primary. Regardless, I hope that I will earn your party’s nomination ingame. I hope to succeed as Country President, and I would be honored to do so with your Party’s votes and endorsements.
Please watch for my newspaper articles which will indicate my hopes and plans for the coming month.
Sincerely yours,
Kernal Krapis
That’s what I sent out just a few minutes ago. It was simple. I navigated to the Party Rankings page, I opened each party’s page in a new tab, clicked on each Party President’s profile, clicked to send each one an email, copy/pasted my message, and sent them.
ProTip: Wait a few minutes between each SEND. eRepublik has an itchy trigger finger for what it considers SPAM. You’d hate to send these out only to find out they didn’t get delivered!
Anyway, now that you’ve done that, you better start working on some plans. You can’t just win the election and hope everything is just going to fall into place!
Heavens No!
Step 3: You need to start asking other experienced players to work in your Cabinet. “Cabinet” is a fancy term for “staff”. You want to find people to do the following jobs:
Vice President (Try to pick someone from a different political party than your own.)
Chief of Staff (This person needs to be active and inspire others to be active too.)
Defense Secretary (To take care of the ins and outs of your battle mechanics.)
Interior Secretary (To maintain robust programs for the benefit of citizens of eUSA.)
Secretary of Foreign Affairs (To maintain open lines of communication around the eWorld.)
Education Secretary (To maintain a steady flow of information to the citizens of eUSA.)
Secretary of Media (To publish regular WHPR articles ingame.)
Press Secretary (To entertain the masses with regular Press Briefings in the eusaforums.)
Advisors (People who actually do everything while you sit back and take all the credit.)
I’ve been speaking with people for a couple of days and have a fairly clear picture of who each of these people might be. As soon as they are locked in, you’ll want to publish their names in an article. If you are interested in working in the August Government, send me a message and let's talk!
Also, watch for my next Tutorial: How to Announce Your Cabinet
Step 4: Now that you’ve got the important details worked out, start working on an article which you can publish announcing your intentions. You need people’s votes, remember, so let them know what they can expect from you and your Cabinet.
Consider a strategy for each department. Discuss your strategy with the people you’ve asked to serve with you. If it sounds like it’s going to be a good match, turn it onto a plank of your campaign.
In short, start communicating!
Step 5: Now pour yourself a congratulatory glass of brandy! You’ve really earned it. And your work has only just begun, so enjoy your last hours of peace and quiet. The madness is about to begin!

I love the idea of you as PoteUS, good luck man!
My first eRep boss
A very good guide. 😎👍
I do suggest a step 0.
Get involved in a political party and in the government. That way you will learn things and people will know you better. All the other steps in the tutorial can make you win the CP elections.
Becoming CP can give you a lot of work and a lot of haters. I have had this all in an earlier account, but I have had fun to and a lot of friends. Don't burn out, get a good team so the work what is needed to be done can be handled by a lot of people.
I am not looking forward to thee haters, and they are already appearing.
Already now. 🙁 That is a sad situation, but you have far far more friends, so the haters should loose and be ignored as much as possible.
Step by Step guide, not bad.
You have forgot the step of around asking for your own Parties Nomination.
After all the USWP is a Libertarian Party is it not?
I suppose it is

Good luck! Let me know how I can be of any help.
Awesome
o7 Enjoy the learning experience. GL.
Teach me, o sage
Best advice I can give you is not to refer to eMacedonia as FYROM in any form official media or web interviews. (regardless of how they are listed by eRep) They do not appreciate it.
I had a pretty good luck wiping countries at not cost to the eAmerican people for the first two terms. Then had more fun than I should admit with an airstrike of eMacedonia in my third term.

I'm already D3 though, so there's that.
Also, why not?
Several parties have internal polls for who they will support. It doesn't hurt to understand their processes and, for example, if they have a forum or discord etc. where such "primary" voting takes place, post your platform or whatever there in timely fashion.
I learned this the hard way. But your party was most gracious anyway.
Good luckkkkkkkkk!
Thank you YYYYYYYYYYYYY
