Last week was all about LeWeb for a few of us at eRepublik (and for me it’s been more like the last couple of months). After winning the jury prize for best European startup at last year’s LeWeb, we decided to return to re-introduce everyone to the New World as it is today. What a few days was. It started with our arrival on Monday to get everything set up - which included getting our booth ready. What an impressive booth we had - it lit up the entire room of booths with its towering white walls and screens running images of the game. People flocked to our booth full of curiosity to learn what eRepublik was and how to get involved. To introduce folks to the game we had an eRepublik newspaper including some intriguing news articles from the game, and also passed out eRepublik passports with LeWeb visas. What was especially timely was the current war declared by the USA, UK, Canada and Sweden on France - certainly intriguing news for a lot of the French attendees. It was so refreshing to interact and share the game with so many new people all at once and speak with them about their impressions and thoughts about the game. Overall, people were tremendously fascinated with the concept and eager to get into the New World and check it out themselves. We were all tremendously exhausted, but very happy and thankful to have had the opportunity to share eRepublik with so many people, face-to-face. We met a lot of really sharp people and had some very intriguing conversations about the game. It was a great time, but now it’s back to work!
Erepublik.com has just reached the 9.700 rank in Alexa. With more that 24,000 daily visits, Erepublik maintained a steady traffic growth in the past months. And remember, we are still in Beta! The average time spend by an user on Erepublik is almost 13 minutes with 16 viewed page in average per visit.
Erepublik is also visited from more than 140 countries and the top 5 countries are: Spain, Romania, United States, Italy and Sweden.
The Citizen BMac did this week-end a nice video tour of Erepublik in French.
Please watch in full screen mode. Alexis Bonte the co-founder and CEO gives a quick tour of the erepublik invite only private beta.
Civilization is one of our favourite games and was an inspiration for Erepublik.com so we wanted to share this interview of Sid by Gamers Global with you:
Sid we have a VIP invite to Erepublik waiting for you ;o)
Simon Dawlat who I met briefly at le Web3 just sent me a great post that he wrote on Erepublik.
Erepublik, un browser-based virtual goods friendly !
Tks Simon.
And another post this time by Jonathan
57 days after beta launch we start to show up on the Alexa radar. I don’t really trust Alexa stats usually but nice to be on there and it usually is more or less right for giving you trends.

On eRepublik, you follow (virtual) political tendencies, attempt to improve the economy, and adapt to social changes. This is a very fun and addictive game, great to play if you’re going to stick with it for the long run. Meet new people, get hired, run a company, become a soldier. There are many oppurtunities in this virtual experience.

Thanks to you for the support given.
PS: Today we’ve started to continue inviting new Citizens into the game.
