Battle Results

We were able to ward off Indonesia from Texas, getting the wall up to well over 300,000 but, a little after 01:00 this morning, Indonesia retreated from this battle they were losing. We were also able to secure Arkansas from the attack by Indonesia. Washington, D.C. has been captured by Portugal and eUSA has moved our capitol to our highest population state of Florida, which currently has over 5000 citizens. Nebraska has been captured by Russia. We were able to hold off Russia’s attack on Iowa. Portugal has captured West Virginia. Hungary has defeated Canadian forces that were stationed in Washington State.

War Update

With the wall well over 300,000, Indonesia was losing and retreated but then immediately re-attacked Texas, cutting the wall in half but extending the battle for another 24 hours. After their previous loss in Wyoming, Russia has now put its largest effort so far into re-attacking Wyoming, our last Western state. After the conquest of Washington, D.C., Portugal has launched an attack on Maryland.

France has used French-occupied Nova Scotia to launch an attack on Canada’s New Brunswick. Hungary has launched an attack on eUSA’s Canadian-occupied North Dakota.

A resistance war has been started in Hungarian-occupied Far Eastern Russia to give the territory back to Russia.

Due to the nature of the rapidly changing situation on the battlefronts, citizens are urged to read and and subscribe to the Department of Defense’s Battle Orders. Members of the military are to check forums and follow the orders from your chain of command.

eUS Training Division

Would you like to contribute to the war effort? Would you like to learn more about how to play eRepublik? If you are not currently part of the eUS Military and you want to learn and do more to defend North America, then consider joining the military by enlisting in the eUnited States Training Division (TD). Once you’ve graduated the TD, you should have enough knowledge to go in almost any direction you want in eRepublik. If you want to further your military career, you can move on to the Home Guard or other military divisions and will be able to request free weapons to repel the invaders and increase your rank in the military more quickly. We need your help and so do our allies! Make your mark on the eWorld today and enlist in the eUnited States Training Division today, the best eRepublik training program in the world!

The war has led to a large number of applications to the TD, so you may not get an immediate response because so many people are applying at once. Citizens are asked to remain patient for assignment to a platoon leader as soon as logistically possible.
