Enjoy the Game
What the heck is eRepublik stress? eRepublik stress is the result of getting too emotionally caught up in the game. If you've ever played a game that caused you to become frustrated and angry, then you know what I'm talking about. Playing a "bad" day of eRepublik can bring up many negative beliefs that people have about their ability to be successful. Wouldn't it be nice to clear away those negative beliefs and emotions and enjoy the game?
If you've been playing eRepublik for any length of time, it's likely that you played for more than a few hours that have been gratifying and enjoyable. And, it's likely that there are times when your game feels like you're pushing a boulder uphill. It feels as though you've got your batteries in backward and from the very first day, you've been playing a very poor character. What has happened is that because you got "off on the wrong foot" from the first day, your mindset has been set up for failure for the rest of your game because you allowed your frustration to get to you. Perhaps you even engaged in negative mind chatter, telling others that they can't do anything right.
Pay attention to these:

- Every citizen has the right to choose what company to work for and to receive payment in exchange for his/her work.
- Every citizen has the right to choose if he/she will participate in a fight or not.
No citizen should oppress another citizen.
- Racism, extremism, trolling, flaming and pornography are prohibited.
- No insult, public accusation without proof, or indirect attack on a citizen is allowed.
Freedom of the press is absolute (without breaking amendments 2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2)
Analyzing everything from an in-game objective view, no one's innocent. America has done some terrible things in the past and even now I was vociferous with regard to our involvement in certain conflicts (i.e. Serbia or Latvia), but PEACE is no better. They wrecked Australia and overtook S. Africa. Their operatives badly bruised the fledgling nation of Peru and they mastered the art of PTO. No one's a saint here.
It plain out sucks that people bring RL views of RL American behavior into this game. Not all of us want to be "worshipped" or think we are the best.
The best thing that could have happened to me was that I played with a group of fellows who enjoyed each other's company. Being good friends was more important than our achievements.
PS: Please do ENJOY THE GAME!
