News Module
Any citizen can create a newspaper in which he can publish articles. Other citizens of his/her can read these articles, vote on them, comment on them or even subscribe to the newspapers of other citizens. Every 1000 subscribers a newspaper gets, the owner receives gold and the "Media Mogul" medal.

The articles can be formatted using BBCode. They can be published in the nation of the citizen and in other nations paying in gold a publishing fee which varies. There are 6 categories in which media are divided into.

Gameplay
The role play of the New World consists of combining the capabilities of the above modules to reach goals and become leader in one or more domains. Citizens can use newspapers to promote themselves, their companies, parties, or even countries. The congress of a country sets taxes to enforce economic policies. To wage successful wars, the economy of a country has to sustain it and citizens have to be motivated.

Other features
Functionalities include a Twitter-like shoutbox system. Gold can also be purchased in unlimited amounts. Game developers, noting the use of IRC channels and forums outside of the main eRepublik site, and the importance of social interaction in the game, released a new module, the Chat Module,[8] allowing users to create their own chat rooms, and interact with other citizens while remaining on the main site.

The user-maintained Discord servers,forums and IRC channels, however, remain more popular and this little feature is used by few.
