Day 2135 of the New World
24 September, 2013


Every month, on exactly the 25th day of the month, eRepublik citizens have the opportunity to vote for what seems like the best possible set of congressmen/congresswomen for the coming 30 days.

And every month, normally, hundreds of erepublik citizens vote mostly along party lines.



It’s sort of stupid.

AMP vote for AMP…
Feds vote for Feds…
WTP vote for WTP…
UWSP vote for USWP…

The sheer repetitiveness of it has led to many simply leaving the game behind as they seek greener pasture in Farmville, Candy Crush, or some other boring clickfest.



eRepublik should never become so boring. In eRepublik, we have a vibrant social game environment where the people behind the clicks come alive. We actually get to KNOW one another because in eRepublik, we are more than just an avatar.

If you have been mindlessly voting in favor of your party’s candidates without giving ear to why they were selected or what (if any) are there merits, you’ve inadvertently become part of the problem.

Or for that matter, if you belong to a non-top-5 party (:respect🙂 but have avoided congressional elections because of game mechanics, you also are unintentionally contributing to the problem.

(Caveat: I am not addressing those of you who are engaged in your party’s primaries and who do know your party’s candidates. This article is not for you.

We in the USWP of 2013 would like you to consider something different.

First of all, we want you to know that this is not the old USWP. We are not the monolithic party filled with mostly undead players. That age has passed. There is no elite mastermind pulling the strings any more. Hell, I don’t even come with strings.

USWP has had to reinvent itself to a large extent.

This USWP has become a conglomerate of diverse members of the active eRepublik community. We are a virtual cross-section of eAmerican interests.
You think I’m making this up? Look again.

Old USWP:


New USWP


Today’s USWP is still wall to wall zombies for sure… we’re just a whole hell of a lot sexier.

But on a serious note, consider these facts:

Our Slate of 8 future congresszombies contains members of 5 different Military Units.
Our Slate of 8 future congresszombies includes players eBorn as long ago as 2008 and as recently as February.
Our Slate of 8 future congresszombies features some of the most active citizens in every aspect of the game.

And our Slate of 8 future congresszombies is
Troll free
Derp free
AFA free (ok, redundant I know)

USWP is committed to sending earnest gamers who want to represent the entire eUSA populace. We are distinctly NOT a partisan crowd of groupthinkers who is going to simply vote because some party wonk has issued a decree.

The United States Worker Party asks you to spend your precious vote by electing the USWP candidates into congressional office.

We completely don’t suck.
