It's a text based strategy game on the New World. You basically register a citizen on the country you choose, then you basically work,train and even fight in wars everyday. It's not meant to be a daily game that you can be active 24/7, it's just something to do and get on at least once a day to work,fight, etc. You can be active though and play it everyday by joining the Military and having to follow orders, etc.
You can run for congress member (people have to vote for you), you can write newspapers, be the President of the eUSA (e is infront of USA, because in erep they mention countries like) Brazil = eBrazil, USA = eUSA, and so on. There are over around 20,000 USA citizen members on erep, so if you run for Presdient and get elected, alot of people will support you and look forward for you, its exactly like IRL but on the internet, second life.
