Greetings America,

As I recently announced in the last DoI article, the first steps in the new SeRI program are underway. After a few days of spreading around the recruitment links as a part of the program, we've already seen an average increase of 20 new citizens per day to the eUnited States over the past few days. On a few of the sites, eRepublik has been able to reach the Top 10, but only due to the relatively lower competition on a couple of the sites chosen. Moving forward, we'll be integrating more competitive sites which, in turn, should bring in more people. The obvious drawback is that we'll be requiring more support for these sites.

Considering that fact, I encourage anyone who wishes to help out the program to sign up for our Recruitment Reminders. Once we reach a critical mass of volunteers, we'll begin sending out messages to people via the personal message system, as a daily reminder to vote for the links. While I know this could be a tad annoying, the idea of the program is to make it as similar to working, training, and fighting as possible. If everyone, every day, were to vote for these five sites, we'd be in the Top 25 of every major ranking site, as well as the top site on a number of the mid tier sites.


Understand that at a lot of these sites, there are thousands of people checking out games, and many of the top sites average tens of thousands of players over the course of a month. Achieving a top rank in some of these areas could give us a significant advantage over time, and be extremely helpful in adding new blood to the eUS Community.

In addition to this program, we're also going to be introducing something called the Link Mentor program. The responsibilities of a Link Mentor are very simple; You must report, on a weekly basis, how many referrals you receive from a certain website, and send out messages offering to help and mentor anyone who joins through your referral link. In exchange, you will be allowed to keep any gold profit from your specific link. In addition, you may feel free to help spread the link with your referral link if you have the extra time.

If you have any interest in joining this program, please apply here.


As a final note for the Recruitment segment of this article, we're currently looking for anyone who has proficiency in video editing. Oblige has offered to donate 100$ to the program to support a pre-roll add campaign on Youtube, which will probably yield a moderate amount of results. In order to do this, though, we need to have an ad to play. If you have any skills, any ideas for brainstorming the ad campaign, or are willing to donate any additional money towards this campaign, please contact me via Private Message.



On the subject of other Interior programs, after a fairly lengthy transitional process, all Interior programs have been effectively transferred and are operational. I did have one issue, though, about a currently existing program. Nothing really substantial, but I simply felt as though the program lacked.....flair. You see, when I first saw BU2SU, I was really confused at what that could possibly mean. I remembered Tank Up 2 Rank Up, or TU2RU, which had a bit of a ring to it. However, Bank Up to Strength Up......doesn't even rhyme. I just don't feel any ring to it whatsoever. So, Artela, after agreeing that there just needed to be a bit more flair to the program, agreed to help me think of new names for the program. Listed below are a few possible names for the program that we thought of, so feel free to vote, or otherwise make your opinions known on the potential new names, or even just suggest one yourself!

1) Steroids4U
2) Work Out to Berserk Out
3) Training for Maiming
4) ??? (You Decide!)

Personally, I'm partial to WO2BO, because instead of actually posting any sort of article or anything, I'll just post motivational workout posters and call them messages. For example;


That's all for now. If you have any questions about these programs, or want to get involved in either Recruitment or Retention, we're still looking for help! Just contact me with your interest!

Until next time,
Civil Anarchy
Secretary of the Interior
