Sweden the famous land in the northern part of Europe you know with the deserts and the volcanos and of course the great savannahs with Lions and Elephants has been robbed!
Erepublik Sweden is nothing like Erepublik Sweden, IRL 78% of Sweden is covered with Forrests and Woodland according to Wikipedia. And Sweden is a world top-10 Producer in Iron Ore Mining.
In Erepublik the great forrests are to be found in France and the Iron Ore in Spain and Greece. Fact Spain and Greece can add their Iron Ore production the last decade and they still can't come up with the amount of Iron Ore that is Minied in Sweden on one normal month. Fact 78% of Sweden is covered with Forrest and Woodland. Fact Sweden is much bigger than Germany. Fact Sweden has wood, lots of it.
So what do we have in Erepublik Sweden then? If we don't have Wood and Iron, what do we have? Deserts, Savannahs, Volcanic mountains? Then were is our Ivory and Diamond Mines? Perhaps we can have some oil even here next to our pyramides?
This is the map of Word Iron Ore Production.
You can find it on this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_iron_production
Red Color Indicates Iron Ore Production
This is the Erepublik Raw Material map.

Om that Map Sweden at least hade 2's in Wood when it first was presented here in Erepublik V1. We had 2's in Wood on the Google Spredsheet document that was official from the Admin on Beta - we had it for the last week of beta. We also had 2's in Wood in the Erepublik Wikipedia.
So where did our Wood go, why have you taken our Raw Materials?
Admin please don't explain, just fix it.
Enough with the Raw Material Mess up.
Giving us jost 1's is pointless, then you can just as well remove them to and officially declare Sweden as a desert. 1's are useless.
Admin, you have removed our Raw Materials, we had them for weeks on official list on Beta. We had them in the Wikipedia, we had them on Sandtux map, we had them in the opening of V1 and then you took them away with out explanation.
We have been robbed.

Write articles with images is pretty difficult nowdays.. 😕
Arctic wasteland with ice bears roaming the streets ftw! Say NO to a fun game, move to Sweden!
Wait a minute now, when I look out of my window I don't see anything. Then the admins are accure! There is nothing in Sweden!
Oh, right. It's night. When the sun rises tomorrow there will be a lot of trees outside my window. Depending on which window I look out of, I can see 2 - 200 trees. But only in daytime. During night I can't see anything, unless it's cloudfree. It's raining right now.
Time to sleep, I hope that when I wake up tomorrow I can see trees in erepublik Sweden too.
voted. hopefully you'll get it back.
Yes give us our wood back if i just look out my window i see the mountains and the woods miles of wood and forrest , i dont see desert,camels and other exotic things i see real swedish furu everywhere 😉 Voted!
Admin, what the hell?
I find this very funny.. you know you complain that sweden isn't anything like "in real life" but you conquered denmark, poland and germany. Seriously wtf? If you want it to be like it should be, start by making real life like politics.
Just my 2.26 cents
That's probably the dumbest thing I've read on erepublik in a while Fabs.
I wholeheartedly agree with the article.
And Fabs, the complaint is against the game mechanics not the way we play the game. While I agree with you on that it's only a game, this particular game is based on being played based on real world geography, letting us players play out how WE feel politics and economy should turn out. The resources should mimic the real world, it is us players who make the difference between the real world and eWorld. If you're bitter because your region got taken over in the Second Sweden Germany war, DO something about it instead of bickering. Hell, take over the whole world while you're at it. This game isn't based on real life politics, It's based on simulated politics in a real world replica.
Aye? You understood what I meant? But yeah, you're right. I shouldn't complain about the typical western live style "I wants teh candyz but I don't wants teh thoothache!!1". Altough this is a frkn game, I also think every eRepublik country has the right to get a real life equivalent of their country. But then many people would complain that games are boring without war. Well that's an opinion (that I don't share) and I accept it, as long as it isn't too hypocratic :/
Mascoll, I will... I will. But first I have to get in shape for that 😉 (If this game is only based on real world geography, and not politics, why should it be based on real world geology or real world vegetation ... That's what I mean't with "teh candyz")
As Misho said! Just fix this now admin.
//Mjau
Same in Poland, only grain. No wood besides Little Poland.
Admin, please fix it.
LOL no wood? Thats just stupid... Is there any water in the atlantic ocean or is it a desert? 😁
admins = fail, unfortunately.
admins = fail, unfortunately.
I woke up hours ago, and there is still no wood! This is bad!
Agreed with the article. Though Sweden never had 2's in wood in the opening of V1 either. That was just a display issue that every region had, when you tried to create a wood company in those (norrland/jamtland) regions it said the wood was medium.
V1 is mostly ridiculous.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had wood all day.
If you don't like it in eSweden, you could always move to another country...
zifuderam
Voted.
In the wiki you can find both the old and new versions of the map to compare them.
There are more examples in the eWorld, so don´t think it´s only eSweden... Portugal has a region called Madeira ( it means Wood in English) and it doesn´t have any resources
I think the iron high in Asturias (Spain) was given by the coal there is extracted there.
Word!
Agreed. Take South Africa for example, in RL, it is africa's bread basket (so you would expect grain in SA), but its also a very large Iron and therefore steel producer (so one would expect steel/iron).
Take Nigeria, one of the largest oil producers, and yet erep gave it nothing.
It is a fact, that africa is the worlds most resource rich...and yet in Erep it has absolutely NOTHING (except South Africa the great).
Im not going of on the producers or admins, just giving a hint on some improvements 😉
Admin want to weaken sweden, they simply fear we will become too powerful for their servers to handle otherwise 😛
It wont be long until I quit this game. The wasted months will give a bitter memory.
I have still not invited anyone to this game, because I never really thought it was good enough to recommend.
I had good hopes for a change with V1, but those were brutally crushed. Too bad.
The game had potential to be both intresting and fun.
Misho you shouldn't scream too much, Holland's got only grain, while we're one of the top producers of oil/gas in Europe and we've got lots of forest left. We also didn't get that 😉
Oh and I actually think this is a nice move from the Admin to bring some more balance in the game, if you guys would have all those raw materials, you would just become way to powerfull (as you already are). So I almost have to say that you have to be lucky with what you've got.
Completely agree from Spain. You should have, at least, wood and iron.
Its not that we got to few raw materials. Its that Admins told us we would have raw materials, and then later took it away. That the fukk is the meaning and point doing that. It just pisses people off.
I also agree, from romania.. me myself had to flew over the atlantic in canada so i can produce some wood... i`m having home carpathians mounties but i need to fly in canada for their wood 😁Invested in that company until now 65 gold.. in RL we in Romania have everything, we have lot`s of oil in Black See and Muntenia, we have lot`s of wood everywhere, also we sell very cheap iron all over the world `cause we have too much. In erepublik the only real resource we have is grain, which also it`s something we have plenty of. So guys, this resources mess-up applies to many, many countries..many of them are robbed 🙂
Well, Finland has lots of wood also. France has those 2's despite the fact that IRL Finland has more forests. Great, just great!
The natural resources should without a doubt be distributed according to the RL conditions! And the fact that Sweden, according to admins, has somehow lost the vast forests that were once there is in no way relative to the fact that Spain has no ore or that the Netherland lost it's(apparently great?)forests.
This is a mistake and it needs to be adressed and corrected, regardless of the present political geography of Erepublik.
Netherland hasn't got forest or oil, they just like to talk out of their ass 😛.
What the heck?
You are going to have 2 new raw materials in v1.1 . They'll be called bugs and timeouts 😛
The mechanism simply does not work with just resources. Manufacturing bonuses must be given to countries without resources. Also, the 0.1-1-2 system has to be forsaken. It doesn't accurately mirror the dispersion of resources in the real world.
We in holland also had only production 1 of grain everywere, well in the west we should had 2, today this has been fixed with us.
welcome to the new world
I dont see the problem with making a system based on 0.1 increments (that is, pne country can have 1.8 wood and another 0.7). I would be way fairer adn would also help to settle the economy.
we are not in real life, you know...
