One down, many more to go. Pile body upon body, till the Profligates are no more.

The Empire of Spades has disbanded, thus activates Article III of The Covenant Treaty. I am also leaving Politics and War, so farewell.

Peace Agreement: The Atlas Confederacy, Empire of Spades, United Purple Nations, and The Dutch East India Company all agree to cease hostilities immediately following this announcement. The Atlas Confederacy will return to the yellow sphere as soon as they are able to change. During their time on purple, they will have purple nations. The Atlas Confederacy must call in all splinters within their control that were created during the wartime. Both alliances recognize that the true problem of Orbis is alive and well, and the neutral menace must be stopped. /s/ The Atlas Confederacy: President: Pubstomper Minister of War: CMDR Adama Minister of Foreign Affairs: Abbas Mehdi Minister of Econ: Dietrich Minister of Internal Affairs: Angelus The Empire of Spades: Ace: Casey King: Cyradis Jack of Clubs: Garrett Tipton Jack of Diamonds: Lilac Veritas Jack of Hearts: HouseofJacks Jack of Spades: John Henry Holliday The United Purple Nations: Primarch: Hansarius Warsmith: The Emperor Master of the Forge: emperor666 Reclusiarch: Ender Wiggins Honourable: Outburst The Dutch East India Company: Chairman: Diabolos Minister of Foreign Affairs: Vincent Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: ColoringNick Minister of Finance: TheNG Minister of Internal Affairs: Mortimer

EoS, UPN, and DEIC were going to declare war together; however, TAC militarized quicker than UPN and DEIC. If TAC wanted to, assuming that they knew TC was going to be involved anyway, they could have pre-empted the bloc which would have resulted in greater damages to the bloc than already observed. To distract TAC while UPN and DEIC militarized, EoS declared war. Of course, you may say that EoS failed miserably, but our objective was simply to distract TAC while UPN and DEIC militarized. From my perspective, EoS succeeded in our goal, but you are free to hold a different opinion. Anyhow, if you paid the slightest bit of attention to the war, EoS was marginally winning in the lower and middle tiers, while TAC was winning in the upper tiers. Nonetheless, your comment lacked substance, so I fell for your comment; congrats.

Peace: Socialist International and Empire of Spades agree to peace for the greater good of the two of them. No wars or fighting between the two. Intelligence: Socialist International and Empire of Spades agree to share any juicy secrets that they hear and agree to only tell them to each other in dark alleys behind nice clubs. Aid: Socialist International and Empire of Spades agree to help each other financially in the event that it is necessary to do so. Military: Socialist International and Empire of Spades agree that if one of them is attacked, that the other one will be there, no if’s and’s or but’s about it. The signatories also agree to tell each other if they plan on rolling someone, and the other signatory hold the option of rolling with them. This treaty is non-chaining. /s/ For Socialist International: President: Hereno For Empire of Spades Ace: Casey King: Cyradis Jack of Clubs: Garrett Tipton Jack of Diamonds: John Antonius Jack of Hearts: HouseofJacks Jack of Spades: John Henry Holliday
