Online World Atlas:eRepublik — Pt. 2, In-Depth

WorldsinMotion: "eRepublik is best described as a simulation of an alternate earth and while the it’s working on an admittedly simplistic set of rules, it’s still a remarkably ambitious project, and it’s arguable that trying to give users the chance to influence a "second world" is far more interesting than merely trying to offer them a personal ‘second life.’

As a result of the scale of the simulation, the gameplay is far more like the average browser-based strategy title than it is something like Second Life. After signing up, a player tends to be sent a ‘welcome’ message from their president-another player, it’s worth noting-which normally advises on the best way to get started and asks them to join the military. After that, the game’s daily ‘to-do’ list tends to inform what you get up to."
