Alliances and geopolitics



You might be wondering what is wrong with this World Map. Well, there's nothing wrong with it! This is the eRepublik World as citizens know it at this moment. The eRepublik World started with real-world territories, but, as wars were waged, the regions changed their appearance.

The geopolitical aspect is maybe the most important of all. Countries feel the need to protect their territories, but they cannot do it by themselves. Thus, as in real life, military alliances were created so that eRepublik states could provide mutual protection and stand up for one another. At the moment, there are two great alliances that fight against each other – Atlantis and PEACE. ATLANTIS was founded by former Northern Alliance members (Sweden, Norway, UK, Romania, Ireland, USA ) and includes all former NA members except Ireland, two new members from the Pan American Alliance and two from the Mediterranean Alliance. All these small alliances were formed at the beginning, and then merged into the great Atlantis. Like ATLANTIS, the Peace Alliance was created as a result of multiple small alliances joining forces. Sixteen nations have already joined PEACE and are ready to fight for their territorial rights and for their beliefs. The first close encounter between the two military alliances occurred just days after ATLANTIS was founded, when eRomania (an ATLANTIS member) declared war on eHungary (a PEACE member). This is known as the first eWorld War of the New World. The two alliances have fought several times and conflicts between them still emerge nowadays, continuously reshaping the territories, as countries rise and fall under the force and devotion of fierce warriors.
