The site, in 2007
A browser game where players are citizens of virtual versions of real countries, who work, vote, run for office and go to war.
Made by the Romanian studio eRepublik Labs, it left beta on 14 October 2008. It is mostly text, with few pictures, and its success spawned similar games. Stillfront Group bought the studio in 2017.
In 2007: A seed round of 200,000 euros paid for it in February, more than a year before the game left beta.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
