WELLNESS
Having high Wellness is important in different respects - with high Wellness you'll be more productive as an employee, which will make your boss happy, and you'll be able to fight more times and cause more damage as a soldier, which will give you more experience points and could come in handy to defend our country. To get and maintain a high Wellness you need to use the Hospital after fighting (only for the Wellness you lose in battle), buy higher quality food and receive gifts from time to time (by exchanging them with a friend, for example). Please read this educational article for more detailed information on Wellness:
All About Wellness

TRAINING WARS AND HOSPITAL USE
Before you fight, there are some important things you should know:
You can only fight if your Wellness is over 40 and you will lose 10 Wellness points per fight. You can heal at the Hospital to get the Wellness you lost in battle back, but you need to live in Brussels to be able to heal - if you're not in Brussels yet, buy a moving ticket and get there as soon as possible (please contact us if you can't afford a moving ticket). The Hospital gives only the Wellness lost in battle back with a maximum of 50, so you can only heal after you fight and you can't heal for the Wellness you lose by training and working! The healing isn't happening automatically, you need to click "HEAL" next to the Hospital icon here: Hospital

Fighting is an important aspect of eRepublik, even in a neutral country as eBelgium, because you receive 2 experience points per fight,so you'll reach a new level faster, and the damage you cause brings you closer to a new military rank, making your damage higher. To give the eBelgian citizens this opportunity to grow, our governement has signed a Mutual Protection Pact with eMaleysia, a member country of the neutral Sol alliance, which engages in regular training wars with its neighbour the ePhilippines. The training wars are not intended to capture a new territory or conquer an enemy, but are a way for neutral countries to let their citizens fight for an allied country to gain experience. eBelgium pays for this service, without being an actual member of the Sol alliance.

Here you can see if there is a battle available for you: My Battle List
The training battles start once every two days, usually between 12:00 and 15:00 eRep time (21:00-00:00 Belgian time), but because the battles goes on for 24 hours, we get to fight every day - in the afternoon of the first day, before noon the second day, and on day three a new battle starts in the afternoon. Take this into account if you don't want to miss any fight!

You should also know that fighting with your bare fist will cause significantly less damage than when you fight with a weapon (even Q1!), so visit the Marketplace if you can afford them. Weapons use is similar with food - every time you fight, a weapon of the highest quality from your inventory will be used up, one weapon per fight!


GOVERNEMENTAL SOCIAL SUPPORT
Our governement is providing material assistance to citizens in need. These are the cases when we can intervene:
If you are a new citizen (under level 6) and your Wellness is below 40, you can contact us (citizen.info, the official governemental organization) to receive some higher quality food and gifts to get back at least over 40 again. If you don't live in Brussels and you can't afford a moving ticket to move there, also contact us to get one for free. Don't forget that when you reach level 6 you will receive 5 Gold, which you should use wisely to keep your Wellness at a high point!
Higher level citizens with serious Wellness problems are advised to apply for a job at a state training company. The stock of gifts produced by the state gift company is used to bring back the Wellness state employees back over 90 - this happens only once per employee and only if he takes care of his Wellness!

Having a social security net doesn't mean you should neglect your Wellness - our budget isn't unlimited, so it is your civil duty to take care of your personal Wellness and maintain it as high as possible!
