[URRRAAAAA!!!! (Treaty and RoH)]

Due to the recent actions taken by Aurora and their current conflict with the alliances of Midgard, the United Socialist Nations feels obligated to assist Midgard in their conflict. We will not stand by while our allies can be provided help. To that end, we have signed a MDP with United Purple Nations and will come to the defense of Midgard. May it be a good fight!

[An ASM/RedArmy Announcement]

Today, is truly a sad day and a great loss for the movement. Redarmy was a bedrock of the revolution and a great leader. Always bringing inspiration and zeal to any community he interacted with as he did with us. He was one of the best people to be in the game. You will forever be remembered comrade and we hope you are able to rest easy now. Myself and all of the USN salutes you and everything you have done o7

[Tariffs]

Yeah. This allows for a bit of a dynamic between tax rates and tariffs rates.  More choices for alliance leaders, and more avenues for revenue. 

I love this idea! Tariffs with Tax brackets sounds awesome to me.

[Alliance-wide Embargoes]

19 hours ago, Kosta said:

Hey guys,

Adding the ability for alliance leaders to embargo other alliances on behalf of their alliance. 

This suggestion has been floating around for years, and I have seen this come up on P&W Radios etc. I really think it can work if reasonably added to the game and here is why:

1. Much more efficient than individual members each embargoing an alliance. 
2. Adds a greater dynamic to politics and diplomacy in the game.
3. Third-sphere argument: Two spheres are at war, and they wish to prevent a third sphere from growing too fast whilst the war rages. They simply embargo the third sphere.
4. Allows alliances to place economic pressure on the alliance/sphere they are at war with.
5. Allows third party alliances (allies who are not in war) to place economic strain on your allies enemy. Or allows alliances to specifically back one sphere by embargoing the other. 

Counter-arguments:

• Embargo system can be abused by alliance leaders. Limit alliances to 5-10 embargoes each. This should leave the global market very much open to alliance trade for members. 
• Too many embargoes made by alliances can place large strain on the global market. Again, 5-10 embargoes max each alliance. Yes, this will place some strain on the market, however this will make the politics game much more interesting. 
• We already have an embargo system in place. Yes, but only for members, which is frustrating inefficient to coordinate between multiple alliances and spheres. 

Hope this could be considered.

Thanks,

Kosta.
 

Sounds good to me. Will make management a little easier for us

[United Socialist Nations Statement [Cancellation]]

In light of recent events, the USN government has decided to invoke the 72 hours exit clause for the Swamp. While we are leaving, we respect all of the members of Swamp and leave with no ill will or hostility towards any of its members. Going forward we hope for the best for everyone involved and for a better future.

[Brogan Enters the Swamp]

Brogan had been drunk for a very long time getting in many bar fights across the land. He helped those who helped him and was loyal to his friends. So Brogan fought and kept fighting until one day he bit off more than he could chew and had to make a run for it. After evading his pursuers he went to see his long time forever friend Dragon.

Dragon was very understanding and said come to my place and let's have a chat with my friends.Together they went into the Secret Door to the Anti chamber of the Swamp and Brogan met with the Giant Gingerbread Man, Leprechaun, King Triton, Florida Man, and Hawkeye Pierce.

 

Doctor Hawkeye gave Brogan a thorough medical check up and was pleased to find a strong Ogre in good health but is seen to be rather hungry, so Florida Man kindly gives his Chicken Nuggets to Brogan.

 

 

Giant Gingerbread Man is grateful to hear that Chicken Nuggets are Brogans favourite food and not Ginger Bread.

While this had been going on King Triton and Leprechaun had been chatting and both agreed that Brogan was a fine figure of an Ogre and also agreed that Leprechaun should give Brogan a task to prove himself.

Leprechaun approached Brogan, obviously he had to climb up King Triton's upraised Trident to be face to face with Brogan and said

 

“Brogan, if you asked, if I would let you through. I'll open the gate to the Swamp for you and your Alliance mates if you will bring me... Hannahs Ginger Locks so that Giant Gingerbread Man can make a wig as his head gets very cold up in the clouds."

 

Brogan thought about this dangerous mission for a moment, it would indeed be fraught with danger, but to have real friends in a Swampy place, and a Doctors tent as well and lots of freshly Dragon-Fire char Grilled Chicken Nuggets on hand, realized it was too good an opportunity to miss
 

But…………...

 

Hannah was scary to behold, but Brogan soon found out she had a heart of gold.

 

Hearing that Giant Gingerbread Man’s head was cold, she gladly cut her Ginger Locks and presented them to Brogan.

 

Brogan Hipitty Hopped all the way home to Leprechaun and King Triton used his Trident to weave a wig for the Giant Gingerbread Man, and Dr. Hawkey Pierce carefully stuck it on with superglue.

 

TLDR

TF - Dragon TI - Giant gingerbread man & - Leprechaun Fark- Hawk Pierce TFP - Florida man TLE - King Triton

 

Have opened the Secret door to the Swamp and let USN - Brogan in and together they agree to

 

Chapter 1: Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who is the swampiest of them all?

All members of The Swamp agree that should any information come to light regarding the security or welfare of another, it must be shared.

 

Chapter 2: Well, I have to save my ass. If any member of The Swamp is attacked, all other members agree to militarily, financially, and diplomatically defend one another. An attack on any member of The Swamp is an attack on the whole swamp.

 

Chapter 3: Can’t we settle this over a pint? If any member of The Swamp decided to start an offensive war, representatives of all other members must be notified at least 24 hours in advance. Other members are not required to join.

 

Chapter 4: What are you doing in my swamp‽ All current members of The Swamp must agree to the admission of another member.

Chapter 5: This is the part where you run away. Should any current member wish to exit The Swamp, they must inform representatives of all others 72 hours in advance.

Of Course -  They all lived happily ever after in the Swampiest of Swamps

 

[Order No. 228: Take a step back]

Peoples of Orbis, things have been going shit for awhile in the game and going to as far as having impact irl. After careful consideration the USN has chosen not to leave PnW and urge others to remember this is is a game for enjoyment. Alex as the creator has overall responsibility of ensuring that we have a safe environment to play in and I am sure, like the rest of us will be reflecting on the actions and decisions that have been made by everyone in the last few months. In light of this the USN accepts white peace with all our present combatants and hope that together we can move forward as a community, knowing full well that one day we will find some new reason to have a fight or two with one another and then have the fun of coming to a new peace agreement. Here's to a future of interesting Diplomatic exchanges and the odd exchange of Nukes, and hopefully all within the confines of the game.

We hereby sign the following treaty:

Coalition Alphabet Soup: Aurora, Carthago, Church of Atom, Empyrea, Fark, The Fighting Pacifists, The Golden Horde, Grumpy Old Bastards, Guardian, House Stark, The Immortals, The Knights Radiant, The Lost Empire, Oblivion, Order of the White Rose, Rose, Sanreizan, Seven Kingdoms, Silenzio, Soup Kitchen, The Syndicate/The Enterprise, Terminus Est, Typhon, The United Armies and tCW Bloc (The Commonwealth, Demacia, The Manhattan Cartel, North Point, Weebunism) and USN announce an end to hostilities and a white peace between all parties.

No new wars shall be declared between any of the aforementioned parties, and all current wars shall be allowed to expire, beiged or peaced out. No-entry into the war, aid to Coalition B, and acceptance of Coalition B ghosts/members will be allowed by USN for the duration of the war.

Starting immediately, a Non-Aggression Pact shall be in affect between Coalition Alphabet Soup and USN. At the cessation of hostilities between Coalition Alphabet Soup and Coalition B, a Non-aggression pact of 6 months shall commence immediately after.

[Lordaeron now protects the USRGC]

USRGC has a long history in Orbis, we’ve been here almost a year, and during that time we’ve have a hard time getting off the ground. Originally we wanted to do our own thing alone and away from everyone. However, after a lot of raids and problems, we decided we needed a protector. Following extensive talks and deliberation with Lordaeron we decided as an alliance that they were the best protector going forward. Therefore, Lordaeron has accepted the USRGC as a protectorate to their glorious alliance. We hope we can be a good protectorate, and future ally to them, they’ve helped us so far and I believe they will only continue to help us. We hope we can create a great place here in Orbis that will have a lasting Impression. While we are Communist, we are accepting any and all who seek a home. Below is our discord link if anyone wants to come chill with us.
