Games Like eRepublik: 7 Alternatives to Try in 2026

Before writing this, I opened every game these lists keep recommending. Two of them didn't load at all. One app hadn't been updated since 2018. A lot of "best alternatives" pages keep listing them anyway.

So I clicked the links. Everything here was checked on 1 November 2026, and I'll tell you what I couldn't check.

Best games like eRepublik compared

1. WarEra

The closest match if you want a shared world where players make almost everything. You run companies, sell on a player market, join a military unit and fight for a country, with parties, taxes, allies and wars around you.

The big difference from eRepublik is the economy. Since v0.27 your companies are staffed by computer-run employees with their own traits, training and happiness. The update wiped out the old job market overnight, along with half of what I'd built. Annoying for me, but running a company is now a real game by itself.

Best for: people who like numbers. New here? Start with my WarEra beginner guide, then see how to make money. You can also browse every country and military unit.

2. eRevollution

If you want eRepublik's structure with few surprises, start here. You're a citizen of a virtual country, taking part in its economy, politics, business and war. It's been running for over 3,900 game days, and its front page shows 73,024 active citizens. Those are its own figures, and I can't check how it counts "active".

Best for: anyone who wants the classic formula.

3. Eclesiar

A newer game about building nations, running economies and waging war, with apps and a Steam page too. The Steam listing is small so far, with 23 reviews and a Mixed rating. Its own site blocked me, so this one comes from its listings. Try it yourself before you judge it.

Best for: players who want something newer.

4. e-Sim

A long-running free browser game where you fight, earn money and manage businesses, split across separate game worlds. Secura was online when I checked, but the main e-sim.org address didn't answer. See which world is alive before you commit.

Best for: old-school players.

5. Rival Regions

This one leans into politics. You form parties, win parliament seats, pass laws and build a state. It's free on phones with in-app purchases. The iOS listing I saw was last updated in 2018 and sits at 2.6 from 192 ratings, so go in expecting an older game.

Best for: people who want to argue in parliament.

6. Politics & War

Here you run a whole nation, not one citizen, so it plays differently. It's turn based and says it's 100% free to play. Of its 14,644 nations, 2,950 were active the day I checked. That's a small community, but I respect a game that puts the real number on its front page.

Best for: people who'd rather be the government.

7. NationStates

A government simulation made by Australian author Max Barry, online since 2002. You shape your nation by answering policy issues. It has no trading and no war, so pick it only if the politics is what you loved.

Best for: writers and policy nerds.

Which eRepublik alternative should you try?

Most of these are free, so try two and keep the one whose community you like. These games live or die by their players, and that matters more than any feature list.

I left out vMundus and World of States. They're on every list, but their sites didn't answer when I checked.
