Ranking and Statistics for Week 07.2012

Day 1,552, 14:29 • Published in Portugal Portugal • by jotapelx


Hello,

This newspaper has been born out of my curiosity concerning the distribution of resources, the number of regions and the number of players that effectively each alliance has. Based on the information gathered in the http://www.erepublik.com/en/newspaper/sentimental-journal-225328/1 I was able to extrapolate the alliances, although I didn't follow through all it's data because there are some Neutral Countries in the Sentimental Journal that based on their MPPs they are clearly aligned to one big alliance or the other.

I also wanted to analyze the data based on the Big Alliances TEDEN vs. ONE which are in effect the real alliances behind the game.

What I'll try to do is at least in a quarterly base to update these Rankings, and the Statistics behind. After the extraction of the data it was very interesting to start creating graphics all over the place. Today I'll start with the Basics, defining the Alliances and mapping each country to the corresponding Alliance (This data can be wrong, please put a comment or PM me and I'll update it) and evaluate the number of Regions and its resources.

I would like to say I'm sorry to my countrymen for the fact that this article is in English, but I would like to reach a wider audience. A portuguese version would put this article too big to read.

The data of these statistics is from day 1552 - 12:00



The Alliances are divided in three major blocks:
- TEDEN;
- ONE;
- and Others







The Military Power of a country is driven by the Military Units and the damage they can provide in a war, since that information is not available yet. The next best thing is a territorial Ranking, which comprises of the following rules:

- The Number of Regions is independent of the original regions, just a plain and simple number of regions.
- The Number of Distinct Resources, the bonus of production is done based on the distinct resources and not the total number of resources available for each country
- The Number of Weapons Resources, just to distinguish from those that has the same number of resources and put a militaristic edge on this ranking.
- The Number of People that voted in the last Presidential elections, the total population provided is not the most realistic indicator and it was decided to use that indicator as the number of active players.



The Data provided allows us to map the total number of regions to each Alliance.


And then break the data into each Big Alliance


The numbers are staggering: TEDEN has 457 Regions and ONE has 87 Regions



The Economical Power of a Country can be calculated based on the number of the distinct Resources that data is available in the previous Ranking.

The Data provided allows us to map the average of resources to each Alliance.


And then break the data into each Big Alliance



And that's all folks. Based on the data extracted I'll add other views to the information, some will be useful other will be just for the fun.
