After almost seven years of up time eRepublik is still going strong. This citizen Sim has a wide following and an addictive challenge. Can you help make your nation strong? Will you fight wars to gain your country land? Will you become a politician and twist your words to rise to the top as president of your country or play the market and make yourself rich? Do you want to become a journalist and share your views with the world? In eRepublik you can do all that and more. We are an active community that has many programs to help new players when they start.

For any who join here is a link to the US Department of Interior's programs, if you choose another country I'm sure they also have programs to help new players and a quick google search will probably turn up some. Here is another helpful link to the eUS Department of Education newspaper which helps explain various concepts in the game to new and returning players.

So now that that is out of the way time to give my opinion of the game. I like it. There, short and to the point. It's a fun time killer that has a large and interesting community.
