[http://www.erepublik.com/en Erepublik]'''''eRepublik''''' bills itself as the "first massive online social strategy game" and what it is is best thought of as the result of a drunken night between [[Facebook]], ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', ''[[Risk]]'', and a college economics class. Players are citizens of a country, where they can vote in elections, work at companies, buy products, starve if they don't eat food, write newspaper articles, move to other countries (but not vote unless they gain citizenship), and fight in battles.
 
The Facebook aspect comes in as citizens can post "shouts" ([[Twitter|in 140 characters or less]]) and declare other citizens "friends".
Line 14 ⟶ 11:
The college economics class aspect comes from the even more complex economic system where people work at player owned companies to create goods. Inflation, income taxes, VAT, import duties, trade embargoes, natural resources, and currency exchange rates all play a part. Add to that the fact that money is constantly being removed from circulation to pay for various in-game bonuses, and things get even more complex.
 
But don't let that scare you off! Plenty of players get by just doing next to nothing (these are called "[http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/2-Clicker two-clickers]"). Thus, you can actually spend a lot of your time just lolly-gagging around and hanging out, with no [[Munchkin|Munchkining]]ing necessary. Or fluctuate wildly between the two extremes.
 
You can join and play ''eRepublik'' [http://www.erepublik.com/en here].

** 'Kosovo is Serbia' is a pretty popular meme in eRepublik. Whether it instead be 'Serbia is Kosovo', 'Serbia is Emerik', 'Kosovo is Independent', etc, etc.
** Serbia have recently been replaced by Poland as the chief trolling target after the latter's baby boom filled it with innocent newbies.
* [[Blue Blood]]: Found in [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Constitution_of_the_Kingdom_of_Denmark Denmark] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110908082253/http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=591&t=60178 United] [http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom Kingdom].
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: You can buy in-game currency with real-life money. [http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-usa-would-you-like-a-communist-military--1184506/1/20 Some people] do this quite a lot.
* [[Capital City]]: Every country has one, though it's not necessarily the real life one due to invasion of regions (for the U.S., it's Arizona!).
