The Judicial consists of the inspector General.

The Inspector General is elected two days after each Prime Minister election.

[April 2010 OA Repients]


The OA Survival Plan was approved by the Senate on February 3, 2009. In the plan, all recipients of the Order of Australia, who are inactive citizens, will be prevented from dying by the NBA buying Q1 food and donating it to their account to keep their wellness up. The logic for such a plan is that:

  • All OA's are likely to be high in exp. points/stats, so it keeps them alive and keeps our ranking up.
  • It's a golden retirement, and serves as a testament to their hard work, that they do not die. Also, it provides our newer citizens a dream of one day being eligible, and kept 'alive' in a dignified, immortal state.

New Player Society

The New Player Society is in place to better introduce and integrate new players into the eAustralia community. There is a mentoring program in place where mentors will contact new players (mentees) and introduce them to various aspects of the game, and explain any questions new players may have on discovering the world of eRepublik.

The mentors will aim to introduce players to the forums and the IRC where many other players congregate and discuss a range of topics relating to both in and out of game. This way, new players will find friends and forge bonds of comradeship, encouraging teamwork which is vital for the wellbeing of eAustralia.
