Administration Principles

Laws · Addendum · Forfeit points · Appeal · Contact page

This page further elaborates the eRepublik Laws. This is not an exclusive or exhaustive list, it is an insight on how the rules are interpreted.

Synopsis

  1. Every penalty applied will be counted in a user's forfeit points (FP). Review this article for complete information.
  2. The eRepublik Laws are also applicable to the eRepublik Wiki and Forum. In case of this Wiki, you are encouraged to also read these specific guidelines.
  3. The New World is governed by the Terms of Service. We strongly suggest reading it, because not respecting it may lead to serious infringements to be applied to your account. For example, you must be over 14 years old in order to use eRepublik. Any account which is determined to be controlled by a person under 14 years of age will be permanently suspended.
  4. Not taking actions in case you notice an infringement of the laws may be considered a disrespect of the eRepublik Laws by itself. For example, each citizen is required to immediately report any system exploits or critical errors using the contact page.
