Educate yourself on smart warfare techniques by reviewing this article by Secretary of Defense Joe DaSmoe.
Friendly Firepower Program
Population. Our enemies are numerous but they also are have the advantage of ranking up. Hungary had its babyboom long before ours. The game is linear. The longer you play, the stronger you become. The only counter to this is gold and lots of it. If we are ever to drive the Huns from our lands, then we must recruit a new generation of eUSA player.
The eUS government and eUS Military are proposing the Friendly Firepower Program. We are asking each active citizen to recruit one friend. Teach them to play the game. Help them. Mentor them. Direct them to the forums. Get them on to IRC. Get them involved and invested in our goal of driving out the invaders.
If you look at the population stats for the game, you would think the eUSA has thousands more citizens than Hungary. This is deceptive. That is total accounts. We need more ACTIVE ACCOUNTS. We need more ACTIVE CITIZENS.
We aren't asking you to shoot for a society builder medal. We're asking you for one friend. Recruit one friend to win.
Be Prepared
Weapons prices are ridiculously low in the eUSA right now. Buy cheap weapons now before prices increase with demand.
ATTENTION n00bs and allied friends: TRAP COMPANIES IN THE eUSA
There are currently 2 trap companies operating in the eUSA. These are being operated by Russians with the intent to stifle US growth and unsuspecting players from getting their Hard Worker medals and gold.
DO NOT WORK IN THESE COMPANIES OR RESIGN

Company for New Players - This is the worst as it is clearly targeting n00bs. Pretty low.

If you disagree with their attempts to ruin the fun of new US citizens, then we encourage you to send them a respectful PM about your feelings.
What is a trap company?
A company set up with no raw materials or currency for salaries. The company will offer high wages to attract unsuspecting job seekers. But with no currency or RMs, the workers cannot work. For uneducated n00bs, this means frustration with the game and usually leads to potential players abandoning the game. I say uneducated because a worker in this situation can RESIGN immediately and find other work. But n00bs don't know this. They are just looking for the highest paying jobs. A n00b can only do 2 things: work and train. If you can't do one, you probably won't bother to stick around.
Admins have been repeatedly contacted about this practice but they continue to ignore this. It is up to us for now.

Voted like always. Don't know why I vote every article I read. Even those I disagree with. I don't feel good when I don't press "vote".
Hooaah

"if you disagree with their attempts to ruin the fun of new US citizens, then we encourage you to send them a respectful PM about your feelings."
That made my day. 🙂
@Yatuiig I feel the same, though it's a little easier when it's PEACE propaganda.
First page!
Waiting for the SOL TW...
I say, if they don't take down those trap companies, we do the same to russia, but in bigger force (more of them). let them see what a pain it is. I've lost a few employees from my business to those companies.

At the moment, the job market for noobs is very limited for those interested in Raw Materials. About half an hour ago "Company for new players" was the only one. 10 min ago "Nebraska Wheat" was added - they have about 3000 (!) positions open, 1000 each for Level 1, 2, and 3. About 5 min ago it looks like a legitimate company was adde😛 "1st Division Iron".
I have been reading a lot recently about the glut of companies in the US, this scared me off from trying to start one (having graduated from noobs status myself). Perhaps we do need to have more legitimate companies ... but I wonder about their profitability ...
Funny, I remember USA had trap companies as well and didn't want to close them like eHungary did with eCanada. No clues if the situation changed since, but it was not that long before. So writing evil nasty etc is like despising your own doings in the past. May be you are even despising now that you attacked and opressed weaker countries in the past. May be eUSA government/people changed to the good.
We pulled in about 9 new people when we started our new company. They do need jobs.
Problem is to pay them you're at a loss. We've lost $13 on the first day, in the hopes that we can make money later.
Everyone I invite quits. 😞
"My fellow Americans and Emerick" - lol
I agree that it's a dirty tric from the Russians. I wish you guys all the luck!!
Put the trap company info in the new citizen welcoming letter......
Everybody should reread the info on trap companies! Dept of Labor is located in Florida but it is a front for Russia. Their sister company is located in the Urals. They produce nothing and offer nothing of value to the people of eUSA!
why will they create a company and no money to pay for the workers ,thats just dumb for some people.
funny ... the CIA company link redirects to the Company for a BIGGER USA.

Nice trick.
We need to get the word out to newbies about how easy it is to quit jobs and find new ones. They often don't read many articles and never read the forums. Many (like me) probably find the noise to signal ratio in the forums way too high to bother reading--generally the forums just drive me crazy with all the bull.
eChina supports a company specifically for people with skills below 2. It pays minimum wage, and offers no raises, but encourages people to move on after their skill hits 2. And the company never fire anyone. It's run at a loss with support from the government.

OH SNAP
It's like taking a candy from a baby...
Shame on you trappers!
Just research them before you apply, ask questions of other citizens, and train, train, train. 🙂

Slay PEACE!
I say keep the trap companies. I'm a noob in I just started today. I look for the highies paying job and started working. who wouldn't. After seeing they was not paying me, I went on to less paying job. Yeah the companies are wrong, but if i didn't take the time to search for a different job I propaly wouldn't take the time to play the game. This game is not for the stupid. You need some type of smarts to play this game. And if not, don't see you playing long.
Where are the new war game?? We want fight!!
Talk with Poles and attack Germany, it could be fun.
Tbh, why eUSA doesn't take part in EDEN's training war? http://www.erepublik.com/en/wars/show/1143" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/wars/show/11[..]/1143
