Happy Independence Day America!

Staying indoors and playing eRepublik on America's Independence Day in Texas is like declaring your own digital revolution against the tyranny of scorching summer temperatures. While others endure the blistering heat to grill burgers and light fireworks, you'll be comfortably seated in the cool confines of your airconditioned sanctuary, plotting virtual strategies with the passion our Founding Fathers had drafting the Declaration of Independence.

Your neighbors will be busy applying sunscreen, fending off mosquitoes, and debating the finer points of barbecue sauce. You'll be sipping on a cold beer (which is about 95% water!) and wondering if you should endorse raising taxes on virtual hot dogs. Who needs sparklers when you have digital battles to wage and virtual territories to conquer?

Sure, you might miss the smell of charcoal and the dog-scaring pop of fireworks, but in your digital world, every day is your Declaration of Independence. So here's to America, to Texas, and to eRepublik — where freedom rings louder than the constant noise of your AC on a hot July day.

What did the eRepublik player say to their friends inviting them to a 4th of July picnic?


"Sorry, I've already got plans to liberate a virtual nation from oppressive rule. Maybe next year—I'll let you know if I need backup!"
