4 years ago we set on a journey of building a new world. One where anyone and any country could rewrite history. A world where everything happens faster, what may take 4 years in the real world would take 1 month in eRepublik.

This means that actually this new world is almost two centuries old, just a little younger than the independent USA. The new world journey has been one filled with drama, alliances, heroes and villains. A world where new superpowers emerged only to then crumble into oblivion, one where its citizens made and continue to make its history. So thank you to all of the citizens that have invented with us this unique game world. For you, here is a look back on 2 centuries of eRepublik history!

Almost 3 million players entered the eRepublik Community and more than 200,000 spend active time in it every month. In the first version of eRepublik they were split in 43 countries but step by step no less than 70 nations joined the fight for supremacy. Political supremacy, economic supremacy but mostly military and geopolitical supremacy. The first war started between USA and Canada. When alliances appeared, wars became world wars. Romania versus Hungary was the first war in which more than 25 countries were involved, 3 years ago.

Since then, thousands of battles took place in eRepublik, some of them absolutely epic! Billions of damage inflicted, thousand of battle heroes, hundreds of Presidents forced to take difficult decisions and tons and tons of weapons and food consumed.

To make it even more clear, here are the most epic battle in the history of eRepublik, in terms of total damage:

1. 3,06 billions - Brazil vs. Indonesia, the battle for Java, October 2011
2. 3,04 billions - Romania vs. Hungary, the battle for Southern Great Plain, October 2011
3. 2,47 billions – Croatia vs. Mexico, the battle for Baja, October 2011

4. 2,16 billions – Hungary vs. Romania, the battle for Oltenia, October 2011
5. 2,15 billions – Turkey vs. Romania, the battle for Southeastern Anatolia, November 2011
6. 2,06 billions – Greece vs. Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), the battle for Macedonia, November 2011
7. 1,99 billions – Turkey vs. Romania, the battle for Dobrogea, October 2011
8. 1,98 billions – Brazil vs. Spain, the battle for Canary Islands, October 2011
9. 1,97 billions – Spain vs. Brazil, the battle for North of Brazil, November 2011
10. 1,91 billions – Brazil vs. Spain, the battle for Andalucia, November 2011

Impressive, isn’t it?

Finally, in order to celebrate this month in a proper manner, the eRepublik team prepared a lot of surprises for the community: interviews with some of the most representative players, statistics about the most epic battles or best heroes.
And this is not all, nine anniversary missions are live and ready to be solved, for fun but also for getting important amounts of strength, gold, resources or experience points!

More details and surprises in the following blog posts.

Thank you for playing eRepublik!
The eRepublik Team


Thursday will be a big day for the New World, the day when we welcome in eRepublik a new country and a new region! The eRepublik Map has less and less gray areas and we are very glad that we’ve managed to do this together with the community. Take a look on the Map of the New World and discover: eAlbania and the new eSerbian region Kosovo.

For the moment both the country and the region are inactive, so players cannot move in any of the new regions. They have no borders set and they cannot be attacked or conquered.

Since in eRepublik every region has specific natural resources, the same applies for these new ones:

Albania will have three regions with the following resources: Tirana – Grain, Albanian Coast – Fish and Southeastern Albania – Oil.
In the case of the newest eSerbian region, Kosovo, will have Aluminum as a resource.

Regarding eAlbania, if any country plans to attack it, they will have to wait. eAlbanians will have some time to get ready and gather their troops, for 15 days, until Day 1,466. Of course, they cannot attack other countries as well. But the citizens of this country can fight in battles, based on their future alliances.

For those interested in gaining the citizenship of eAlbania we will offer a solution in the following days.

Kosovo’s situation is totally different from eAlbania. This region has no limits for the attack or whatsoever. It will be an original region of eSerbia, hence you cannot open resistance wars there unless it is occupied by someone else other than eSerbia.

Welcome in eRepublik and may your existence in the New World be a successful one!

P.S. If anybody wants to remember the history of Kosovo becoming a region of eSerbia, you can read the posts below this one.


The poll ended, we released the final result but now we will show you the detailed analysis on the results.

As you already know, it was a very balanced poll and the final results were almost impossible to be predicted. Each of the options have several times had the majority of the votes. Still, after 3 days of voting, while 59.634 citizens expressed their opinion, the vote concluded:

- Kosovo as a region of Serbia: 30.039 citizens;
- eKosovo as an independent country: 29.596 citizens.

So Kosovo will be added in eRepublik as a region of Serbia, we will let you know when this will happen. Until then we have to prepare the map, to choose the resources (do not forget that we will also add eAlbania together with this new region) and then we’ll go live.

Until then, we will find together who voted the most, what countries had a great influence, practically, who took this decision. As you saw, a great number of citizens voted. By the way, huge thanks to all the players that showed their interest for voting in this poll and to the community as a whole.

Now let’s take a look at the charts, shall we?

The countries that voted most in this poll are Serbia, Poland, Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), Romania and Turkey. Together they submitted more than 22.000 votes. Below you can the top 10:


What countries wanted eKosovo as an independent country most? Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland, Croatia and the USA are the top 5, more than 10.000 citizens from these countries voted for this decision. Below you have the the top 10:

Finally, Serbia won a new region, Kosovo. Serbia, of course, together with Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), Romania, Poland and Hungary were the most influential. You can see the top 10 below:

Like we said, we will keep you posted regarding the dates when we will add the region in eSerbia and a new country in the New World, eAlbania, also other details that we have to decide in the meanwhile.

The vote is over, here are the final results and the decision of the eRepublik community:

- Kosovo as a region of Serbia: 30.039 citizens

- eKosovo as an independent country: 29.596 citizens

This is what you, the eRepublik players, decided. We shall respect your will and come back in the following days with an extended analysis of the vote together with the next steps.

Thank you all and congrats to Serbian community for the result.

____________

After 48 hours of voting, in the Day 1.424 at 7:30 eRepublik Time, no less than 50.900 citizens expressed their opinion and the intermediary results were:

- eKosovo as an independent country: 49,79%

- Kosovo as a region of Serbia: 50,21%

Of course, Serbia was the country that sustain the most this last option (Kosovo as a region of Serbia), 96% from its citizens voted for it. But important percentages of citizens from Thailand, Montenegro, Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), New Zealand or Romania sustain the same solution for the region. We can see the top 25 of the first 25 countries below:

The other solution (eKosovo as an independent country) found fans mostly in Taiwan, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. You can check the first 25 countries that voted for this solution, below:

In terms of total votes, Serbia is, of course, the most motivated country. As a result, almost 7.500 Serbians voted. Still, important number of votes are coming from Poland, Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary or Romania. See below a chart with the countries where at least 1.000 citizens expressed their opinion.

That being said, we’re looking forward to see the final results and to find out what is the final decision of our community.


23 hours have passed since the voting started, the situation is very balanced so we decided to share with you some intermediary voting stats, in order to be better informed about the way things are going.

These analysis were made at 6:00 o’clock eRepublik Time, when the general situation was the following:

Total votes: 38.255

50,39% voted for an independent eKosovo

49, 61% voted for Kosovo as a region of Serbia

We were curios to see what is the situation in terms of countries and we decided to share it you. What countries sustain the independence most? Who supports Serbia? What countries voted the most until now?

Search the answers below…

What countries voted the most until Day 1.423, 6 o’clock server time?

Of course, Serbia is the most motivated so more than 5.000 citizens voted. On the following places were Poland (more then 3.000 votes), Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) – more than 2000 voters, Bulgaria, Turkey, Croatia and Hungary (more than 1.500 voters).

Top 20 countries by number of votes until Day 1.423 of the New World at 6 o’clock eRepublik Time.

Who voted for Kosovo independency?

From the total number of voters from Republic of China (Taiwan), 94% voted for Kosovo independency! This decision was sustained also by 87% from Croatian voters, 85% from Colombia and Bosnia Herzegovina and 84% from the total votes in Uruguay, Cyprus and Malaysia.

Who wants Kosovo as a region in Serbia?

Of course, first of all, Serbia: 96% from the Serbian voters chooses this solution. But this solution is sustain also by more than 80% from the voters in Thailand, Montenegro, Rep. of Macedonia (FYROM), United Arab Emirates and New Zeeland, while in Romania, Slovakia and Czech Republic more than 70% from the total voters consider that Kosovo should be a region in Serbia.

This is the intermediary situation, after almost one day since the eRepublik community was called to take a decision. Do not forget that we still have two more days to vote.


Update:

The poll date has been set to eRepublik Day 1422 (around 12Th. of October) for a 2 days period. After all the votes are counted we will make a public statement with the official result.
You will be able to access the poll from the eRepublik home page so make sure you don’t miss it!

______

As you already know, together with eAlbania we will add eKosovo as a new territory in eRepublik.

After analyzing the international status of this region we realized that there is no right or wrong decision. Any resolution from our side, in this case, will be quite arbitrary.

As a result, our conclusion is the following: since we all are in a game in which you can rewrite the history, the eRepublik citizens should decide on this topic, by participating in a poll. The poll will be available in the next couple of days and the eRepublik community will be the one to decide the status of eKosovo in eRepublik.

As for the launching schedule, we will be able to share with you more information once the voting process will be over.

These being said, stay tuned to find out when the voting will start!
