Battle Results

In the latest concluded battles in eUSA, eRussia has taken Illinois, but we were able to secure Pennsylvania from attack by ePortugal.

As of this point in time, 36 states plus the District of Columbia are now under PEACE GC occupation. Due to ePortugal’s and eRussia’s positions on the map, eIndonesia is no longer able to push farther into eUSA without doing “region swaps” with these 2 nations, but are able to continue fighting along with ePortugal and eRussia or other PEACE GC allies.

In a severe blow to eSpain and our allies, eSpain's iron-rich Asturias region has been conquered by eFrance with the help of PEACE GC allies. Brazil has also succeeded in overtaking eSpain's Canary Islands, a strategic region which cuts eSpain off from being able to directly attack PEACE GC regions in North or South America.

Good news for our Canadian friends: As a result of successful resistance wars (RWs), eCanada is back on the map with New Brunswick, Newfoundland/Labrador and Prince Edward Island.

Greece has also been able to retake their Peloponnese region from Turkey and now has 6 of Greece’s original 10 regions. The other 4 regions are all currently occupied by eTurkey.

War Update

After losing the previous battle in Illinois, eRussia has again attacked Illinois, our last high oil state. Before losing the battle for Pennsylvania, ePortugal has launched an attack on Virginia.

France has launched an attack on its Swiss-occupied region of Franche-comte.

As part of an agreement to give the high-iron Hungarian-occupied Urals region back to eRussia, a resistance war has been started against eHungary.

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. 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.

These battle orders will be updated several times a day for citizens who are not in the military. Military personnel, however, are to continue to follow the orders issued on the forum and through your chain of command.

Recruitment Poster Contest Winners

We'd like to thank all of those who submitted posters for consideration. It was great to see just how active and creative our citizens can be when asked. After review by our panel of judges consisting of President Emerick, Gaius Julius (White House Chief of Staff), SirEkim (Secretary of the Interior) and Jasper Ferguson (Secretary of Citizen Affairs), three submissions have been judged to stand above the rest. These three entries showcase the immense talent of our citizens, providing an informative message with pro-quality graphic design.

Thank you again, to all of those who participated.

Government Moving Tickets Program

The continued task of providing moving tickets to citizens during the current crisis is now being done under the supervision of Chris Willson. Citizens needing moving tickets should send a ticket request to the Flying Unicorn Squadron. We'd like to thank Chris for volunteering to run this program and once again remind citizens that the best place for them to be is in NJ or FL. Anyone wishing to donate either tickets or funds can also do so through the organization.

The Pony Express

This week The Pony Express has started up again and we have resumed sending out daily messages full of Pro-American articles for our volunteers to vote up. In these troubling times we cannot allow PEACE propaganda to occupy our Top 5. We are always looking for additional people to volunteer for The Pony Express. You can sign up at The Pony Express Involvement Form.

If you have an article that you would like to see included in one of our mass messages, please PM your suggestion to the The Pony Express org.

Citizens are also encouraged to vote up and subscribe to publications from your government officials.
