I write this in my private capacity as a fellow citizen of South Africa. The rhetoric and name calling has been flowing thick recently. It has crossed my mind again in so many months to discern the root causes.
What is a region worth in eRepublik?
Each region in a country contain a resource bonus that goes towards production bonuses which increase the supply of raw materials and items. Duplicate resources have no value.
What is a region worth in eRepublik?
Each region borders another. Some regions thus border other nations. A region thus provides access to other countries for the sake of declaring wars both Campaigns and Natural Enemy. They also serve to strategically lock other regions from direct attack... other than an Air Strike to which no region is immune.
What is a region worth in eRepublik?
Each region is worth 10 Congress Member seats until you own 4. They then gain you 1 seat for every region you own after 40. It can liberally argued that each Congress seat is worth 5G to the economy, but usually less since Gold is seldom converted to currency for local purchases. Nevertheless, a citizen that gains usually creates knock-on benefits.
What is a region worth in eRepublik?
Some people assign real-life loyalty to a particular region because of how it is named in a roleplay expression of patriotism.
What is a region worth in eRepublik?
What does owning a specific region mean to you?
Amandla, Awethu. Power to the people.

Sticks and stones, Léon. Answer the question so that we may understand your raging heart.

I would just like to know that we own something because we fought for it, from a region to a country. We should own it because we deserve it and want to make things run on our terms without answering to a higher authority. I know we would be wiped and the world would end as we know it etc etc. It is the fault of the human species to only unite under times of turmoil, if for nothing else to get the country to a place where we are united and not apart, if only for that reason we should fight regardless of the outcome. What is a region worth? I dont know but I know that wanting true freedom ignites the hearts of the people.

Obviously the sentimental value is high, most people will be discouraged if their home province is occupied by a foreign country (or not, many catalans wish they would be occupied if they cannot be independent hehe). You cannot quantify this sentiment.
What you can quantify is the production decrease we get. With less food produced less fights we are able to do. This may not be an issue for the 60000000000000 gold giants but for the lesser people it is a huge inconvenient. I am included in this as I'll have to supplement my food production with RM from the market, which means less money to travel and to buy weapons in special occasions. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if gold from the treaty was given to the populace, but I doubt this will be done. Same with congress medals.
One's choice to do what you want with your property. We do not have that choice,
Regions are worth the value that someone is willing to pay and we don't deem insulting.
IRL if I have 2 dinner tables, clearly I'm only using one, but I have both and they are both really nice tables, and someone comes into my house and says: "You got 2 tables, I don't have any, why don't you sell me one?"
You don't NEED 2 tables but you've gotten used to them and like the aesthetics, so you have a price you want for that table. If that someone says, "Yeah, I'll give you $2 for it." you would be like "Piss off, this is a nice table. If I want to sell it I'll auction it off and get more."
That's freedom is that we don't HAVE to sell something just because we can.
If you wish to rent our regions at least don't sell us at the price that my personal account has in it. (I've never spent RL money on the game) Why sell for so cheap. If this agreement with Russia was for 80-100 Gold PER region, I doubt you would get this backlash...
What you would get is people outcrying: "Wow, our regions are valuable, let's get Brazil to pay us this much."
How about a "Reality Check - Presidents" What is a president Worth in Erepublik?
More of a Prime Minister than a president. You're just a glorified congressman. You have no right to assume dictatorship-like control and make decisions without congressional support.
I guess they could just impeach me.
Who says it was without congressional support? Maybe not full congressional support, but he had congress members that supported him
You cant be that blind.

You're delusional
Reality Check a large chunk of eSA are not happy about this !
I thank that is fair to say that a large chunk isn't, but that's not the question, the question is, is the unhappy chuck bigger than the not unhappy and the we don't care chunks?
I'll add here, just because the ones screaming seem more does not the question answer.
The unhappy chunk were congress members that were uncertified forum members and thus did not get alerted to the vote.
It doesn't even matter. Congress did not approve it. Congress represents the people, not the president. He has no right to wield supreme power and make decisions for congress.
Quite correct Marmaduke. Nobody actually votes for the president. Getting more votes than the top 3 parties is meaningless. The 5 votes your party needed to fill your seat with you bottom is far more representative than the 81 the president got.
9 distinct voices, actually. A few more ambivalent mumbles. But the total number is irrelevant if we are to head towards a unified society. A single bad note ruins a symphony.
I ask, because I actually care.
I ask, because when we offered Australia the same deal, there was no outcry.
I ask because there must be reason beneath the reactionary rhetoric.
Sorry Miyagi, but your wrong. There doesn't need to be reason beneath the reactionary rhetoric, there just needs to be reactionary rhetoric, because that means there are some that disagree, they don't have to know why and neither does anybody else, they just have the choice to disagree.
There will never be a unified society when no true effort to unite it is given.
In politics some will always disagree ... they mostly disagree becuase the got told to disagree.
Miya for CP.
