Who are you in Republica?

Three lives. Three starting hands. The system doesn't care which one you pick.

Salary WorkerNormal

Mara Okene

Mid-level corporate employee. Steady paycheck, golden handcuffs, restless soul.

PERSONAL STAKE · Save the Family Estate
Your mother's house is two missed mortgage payments away from the bank. The salary won't save it. Only ownership can.
Stable start. The trap is comfort — your salary will keep you trapped if you don't build a side income.

Immigrant HustlerHard

Diego Salazar

New to Republica. Three side gigs, family back home, no margin for error.

PERSONAL STAKE · Bring the Family Over
Your wife and daughter are still back home, waiting for the visa fund. Every remittance you send is a promise — every miss is a delay.
High ambition, low margin for error. Remittance bleeds cash every month — one bad decision can erase weeks of progress.

Laid-Off ProfessionalVery Hard

Ade Whitman

Senior manager, recently downsized. Severance running out, ego intact.

PERSONAL STAKE · Prove Them Wrong
Your old team thinks you'll be back, hat in hand, within a year. You'd rather burn the suit than crawl back to that office.
No active income. Severance only buys you weeks. You must replace your salary before cash runs out — or perish.
