The Average eRepublikan – Part 1: Appearance
Final total of respondents: 288 (note: this includes entries that were later disqualified)

AGE
Notes
1. Only one person was overly specific, writing 20 ¼. I admire your need for exactness.
2. Only one person felt that age equals the year you were born.
3. Another person wrote “900.” This individual also stands 28,000 inches and has done every drug mentioned, in addition to doing NONE of the above. Ladies and gents, we have a faker. That person’s results were thrown out.
4. Three people felt too old to answer the question, writing:
“I’m over 18, let’s leave it at that”
“Ageless”
“30+”
These respondents were not included in the average, but I think it’s safe to say that the results would not have been altered too much given the large amount of entries.
Average
The average age of eRepublik players is…
23 years old
Ah yes, 23. Old enough to be a grandmother.
Have any of you won 14 gold medals yet?
Oldest
Assuming this answer was honest, the oldest eRepublik player is…
76 years old
Rest assured that, no matter how much you hate yourself, you are not the biggest a-hole at your age.
Counting this player, 6 users are 50 years old or more. Nine additional players are in their 40s.
Youngest
Seven people answered with the age of 14. No one under. Is that the minimum to sign up?
Height
Notes
1. Boy oh boy do non-Americans hate our measuring system. If I had a gold for every complaint about it, well, I’d have approximately 40 gold. Here are some of my favorite responses:
I have no idea
F*ck that
Fu I don’t know inches sh*t
Enough with insane inches sh*t
And my personal favorite:
Don’t really know
😃, pretty tall.
Average
The average eRepublik player is…
5’10” (178 cm)
Almost perfectly in-line with the world’s average. This is a good sign that other answers will be at least close to truthful.
Tallest
Three people answered…
7’1” (216 cm)
I sort of find that hard to believe, but it’s hard to throw out, especially since there is some aberration on the other end as well. The next tallest response was:
6’9” (206 cm)
I find this a little more believable, but I’ll leave it up to you to decide which is the real answer.
Shortest
Again, we have a pretty extreme response. The shortest answer is:
4’ (122 cm)
This is damn short, even for a little person; however, I’m not as inclined to throw this answer out because, well, it happens.
The next shortest answer is:
4’7” (140 cm)
Very believable given the amount of respondents who were 15 years old or younger.
Weight
Yucky
Notes
1. Plenty of xenophobic responses to this one too. Yielded some great answers though. Here’s a sampling:
Wtf is pound
Nunya (unsurprisingly from a female)
230/It’s all muscle!
And I loved this answer:
Underweight/too lazy to weigh self
That is pretty damn lazy. I’m guessing he spends a lot of time at his computer. Wait a sec, lemme check his answer:
Crap I don’t know
We have a winner.
Average
Note: I threw two results out: 675 and 500 lbs. Just too outside the norm to count, imho.
The average eRepublik user is…
168 lbs (76.2 kg)
Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
Fattest
Assuming the 675 and 500 lb responses were faked, the fattest user is…
353 lbs (160 kgs)
Only four other respondents weighed 300 lbs or more. Come on fellas, do some jogging!
Skinniest
60 lbs (27.2 kgs)
Let’s hope that growth spurt comes soon.
Fat? and Strong?
Yeah… I’m not too sure about these results.
Only 15% of you are fat? That’s well below the average range. And 57% are strong?
So basically most people on eRepublik are in shape? Call me a skeptic, but I sincerely doubt that.
How many days per week do you exercise?
On the other hand…
Personally, I consider working out at least 3 days per week a pretty healthy regime. Guess how many of us meet that requirement:
57% of eRepublik users work out at least 3 times per week.
In case you don’t have a very good short-term memory, that’s the same exact percentage of people who described themselves as strong.
Very interesting…
Summary
So, in terms of appearance, both subjective and objective, the average eRepublikan is:
A strong 23 year old straight male who stands 5'10 weighs 168 lbs, and is not fat, partly due to the fact that he works out at least 3 times per week..
That’s it for this issue. Next up is gender, relationships, sex, and porn. No promises on publication date.
Stay tuned.
Primitively,
Chutley
Comments
I think you might be fatter than you think...
HA
I'm inclined to believe that the average height of the world has dropped since the last average was tabulated. My reasons for this are short people breed... alot.
\o/ We are strong and beautiful people (whit some vices...)
I started to play erep when I was 12 or 13...
It appears I won the survey for my laziness and "crap I don't know" answers. I hope the admins implement this new medal so I can be the first to win it.
A great series. Predictions on next article: Most users are male, addicted to pr0n, NOT virgins, and single. Just throwing that out there.
nice 😃
This is simply amazing. It is so original and humorous.
Great Article!
I really am 69 inches tall, FYI.
"A strong 23 year old straight male who stands 5'10 weighs 168 lbs, and is not fat, partly due to the fact that he works out at least 3 times per week."
Chicks must dig us.
Voted for pure awesomeness.
Chutterific! Fun stuff.
@ Gnilraps, we do dig you, all of you. Why else would we be playing this game?
With regards to the height, a young guy in my family just turned 18 and is 6'6", skinny as anything. I know he's not stopping any time soon and no doubt will top out over 7'. He has friends that are taller than him by at least 3 or 4 inches now and they're still going strong too! It's scarey really. :{
of course i did not read
rahm, they are not short people but rabbits
Everyone knows the average Erepublikan is a 675 pound 900 year-old who stands 28,000 inches tall, and works out every day of the week. The average Erepublikan also likes long walks on the beach, and. . .
20 1/4 was me! Thanks for the mention 🙂
230/It’s all muscle!
That was me and yes most of it is muscle. I wash windows so I am constantly lifting 5 gallon buckets of water.
Awesome Article!!
If I could vote it 100 times, I would--- I'll be right back...
interesting and funny 😁
o/
Seven people answered with the age of 14. No one under.
I know that this is a lie.
very interesting vo7ed
this is as epic as EATING MORE CHICKEN.
Very cool
I do triathlons, and I train REALLY early in the morning - that's why I'm fighting away in the AM!
I can't wait for more. Do hurry up.
Also, I need to exercise more.
I want to meet this guys.
Chicks must dig us x2 \m/
brbpostingapersonalad
inb4 mailbox overflow.
9% of people exercise 7 days a week? unless they include walking or a short cycle i really don't think that is possible lol
Great article
Chicks must dig us x3
excellent work
Literally lol'ed at some of your notes, good stuff 😁
76 years old? Damn....
I thought old people get lost in a series of tubes.
lol, you don't lose your virginity whacking off to porn. I fear that fact might skew the next set of results.
V+S
Still waiting for the BMI analysis...
im too sexy for this game
xD
Great stuff, as a note, I'm lazy and skinny. Metabolism will catch up with me someday, but not today (I sure as hell hope).
