I don't like to "Clear browsing data..." unless I have to. I decided to just start with deleting the cookies for erepublik.com and it ended up working.
For the benefit of others that would also prefer to do the same thing,
-Open up Settings
-'Show advanced settings...'
-Under Privacy, rather than going into 'Clear browsing data...', go into 'Content settings...'
-Right at the top under the 'Cookies' heading, click on 'All cookies and site data...'
-From there, the interface is quite simple. Just search for 'erep' and remove the cookies related to the 'erepublik.com' site.
