eRepublik underwent a massive update on July 5, so the majority of the following information is incorrect. Please check back later.!

The first week of eRepublik can be a trying time for any new citizen. Just know that there is plenty of support here to help you find your way. If you have any questions, feel free to make a thread or ask around, we are all here to help
Note: An important thing to know about eRepublik is that your ability to participate in different aspects of society relies on the amount of experience points you have gained. Each of the things we have listed here will help you gain experience and help your citizen progress.
Day 11) Upload an avatar.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/edit/profileNobody likes to look at the default picture. This will help you make friends, and it allows you to express yourself. Some members (like me), have chosen to be themselves, others role play...the choice is yours. Do make sure you choose an appropriate picture, as your account can be frozen by the admin if you don't.
2) Get a job at the job market.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/human-resources/country-24-domain-all-skill-1Just like in real life, your survival depends on your ability to buy the resources that are necessary for living in this world. It is the most important thing for you to do when you first start off. Make sure to work for a Q1 company because your wellness will suffer if you do not.
3) Work.
My places --> Company
Your character doesn't work on its own. You have to click the button. Make sure you do this daily, because if you do you get a hard worker award. Do keep in mind that if you ever find yourself in a job where you cannot work due to lack of resources/money, you can immediately quit and find a new job.
4) Buy Food.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/market/country-24-industry-1-quality-0.It is essential that you eat food. If you do not eat, you lose 5 wellness per day on top of any work or training you do and will eventually die. Check out a
Wellness Calculator if you are interested in seeing the difference between the food qualities on your wellness.
5) Visit Meals On Wheels.
Meals on Wheels will assist you in getting past your first trying days and help get you hooked up with the community.
6) Build Up Your Strength.
Army ---> Train
http://www.erepublik.com/en/my-places/armyThis is the way you build the strength necessary to defend your country. If you train long and hard enough, you could eventually join the Army or the Marines. You can do this once per day.
7) Get involved.
Talk to experienced players, read the new player's guides, ask questions, and explore the
Wiki. The more you know about eRepublik, the more fun it will be.
Day 2+ (until you hit level 5, or 25 exp points)1) Work. You gain 1 exp per day for working, as well as money and a notch in your belt towards your first hard workers award (and the 5 gold that comes with it)
2) Train. You also get 1 exp per day for training. Soon enough you will hit 5 strength and gain your first (of many to come) Super Soldier award.
3) Make sure you have at least one food of any quality in your inventory. You get 1 exp for eating every night.
4) Continue expanding your eRepublik knowledge by reading the media and the eUS forums
5) Consider applying for a Mentor. Through this program you can gain not only someone who can use their experience to guide you through new parts of erepublik in a hands on, 1 on 1 way. You also gain a friend. Not a bad deal at all.Upon hitting level 5 (and for the rest of your long and fruitful eRepublik life)
Congratulations, you can now fight for our country in wars. You may want to check out a more
comprehensive fight guide if you have the inclination to, but here are some basics:
1) Move to California. This is basically required in order to be an active fighter for the eUSA. To move - get a moving ticket, go to your profile, and find the link that says "change" near your current location. If you do not have the money to purchase the moving ticket to do so, contact the
USA Welcoming Committee For assistance
2) Get your wellness to 40 (Do not buy wellness packs to do this). The
Gifting Exchange may be willing to help with this process.
3) Buy weaponry if youd like (but do not get weapons higher than Q1, or one star)
4) Find the correct battlefield via the
DoD Civilian Orders5) Go to the battle field ordered, and Fight!
6)
Heal. This restores 50 wellness and can be done once per day that you have fought.
7) Never fight after healing.
From now on, you should fight until your wellness lies between 40 and 50, then heal. This should amount to 4-5 fights daily. Never fight below 40 wellness. Your resting wellness should be between 90 and 100.
9) Always make sure you work at your highest wellness point for the day, as this makes you most productive, which means youll be working your way towards a raise sooner

Pony Express. This is a group of volunteers who simply vote up the articles that the eUS government needs to get publicized quickly. It doesnt take much time, and your vote could be the one that helps the eUS spread important messages to its citizens!
