What are ranks in eRepublik?
In national organized militaries, such as the British Army or the United States Armed Forces, citizens who are members are given a rank, which displays their level of importance, responsibility and skill in the national military. This rank is not related to the damage ranks that every citizen in eRepublik has.
For more information on the ingame eRepublik damage ranks, see here.

Military Marshal refers to the Military Commander in the Australian Military, and has existed ever since September 2009.
Originally there were four military Marshals in Australia:
- The Australian Military Marshal: responsible for overseeing the overall Command Structure of the Australian military;
- The DropBears Military Marshal: the commander of the DropBears
- The ACUK Military Marshal: the commander of the Australian Commando Unit Koalas
- the AAR Military Marshal: the commander of the Australian Army Reserves.
Although the Australian Military Marshal position has since been removed, the other three positions remain.
