This is a free online game that I found very fun (only requires a few minutes a day at first to play a few moves and slowly advances). Almost like an advanced version of BBS games that I used to play back in the 90's except this one deals with the entire global aspect and looks nicer. You get to choose where you want to live and within each country is a mini economy comprised of the basics: Food - consumed daily and raises your health Gifts - given to other players to raise their health Moving Tickets - to go to other cities Weapons - additional damage when participating in battles In the beginning you start out just buying food and you get to choose a company to work for, wages are set by those who have advanced in the game and became General Managers. As your skill level grows (strength for damage, skill for higher wages and in-game level for overall growth) more options are unlocked for you to play with: Join a party: Being a member of a party could give you the chance to become a Congress Member or even the President. Buy/Create a company: You can gather resources and sell them to companies that need them or create products that I listed above. You can also create companies that specialize in making hospitals, houses and defense systems. Create organizations: These are pretty much flexible to do whatever you want, intent is much more hidden so it's entirely up to your imagination. For example, in Canada someone created a COBRA organization that gathers and sells information through bribery of government officials. At first it starts out slowly, after a week you slowly start to discover more aspects to the game. Currently, the game is on the verge of a global world war, countries have already made alliances and propaganda (you can start your own newspaper!) and sneaky strategic war moves have been made by governments. There's corruption and misinformation, moles that have made it up to the higher country administration. It really is a dynamic game that evolves depending on the players who play it I'll help you guys out in the beginning if you need any guidance. My name is the same as my board name here, chottomatte. I receive 5 gold for each referral that makes it to level 6. If you make it, I'll glady split the reward 50/50. Also, USA alliance needs all the help they can get to fight off the invasion from Hungarian powerhouse alliance so I'm doing a bit of recruiting. Just thought this would be an interesting and fun game for some skullbrainers who are bored at work Here's my referral link: http://www.erepublik.com/en/referrer/chottomatte
