FORTIS
Palpatine Fokancellar
Fortis was one of the two successor alliances to ATLANTIS. Its membership was intended to include the USA, Canada, Spain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. However disputes over weighted voting caused Ireland and the United Kingdom to drop out, followed by Spain. Only the American Congress formally signed the charter, though Canada's staunch allegiance with America is considered by many to be de facto Canadian membership.
Fortis was to be a defensive alliance founded to increase its member nations collective security and cooperative partnerships. The alliance would have consisted of a Security Council with equal voting among all members, an elected Secretary-General to lead the Council, and a variety of other bureaucratic affairs. The personnel team of the alliance would have intended to increase dialog and partnership among the member nations. Of the utmost important to the alliance would have been its collective security. Fortis would have done whatever was necessary to keep American and alliance interests safe and secure.
The membership of Fortis was allegedly kept small intentionally to avoid having to juggle fundamental differences between many members.
The regional focus of Fortis was in the North Atlantic area. Nothing explicitly precluded the organization from expanding. Fortis had planned to have friendly relations with as many nations and alliances as possible. It would have welcomed countries that shared their common goals and that were willing and interested to join our partnership, though it should be noted that membership would have been by a unanimous vote and all member nations must have approved new membership applications. A Spanish article listed Greece, North Korea, Israel and South Africa as new members in the "near future".
During the Great War of 2009, Fortis was the name given to any troops from the US, Canada or Spain fighting on the defending side.

The end of the Brolliance was a 'Pfeifferist Plot' which eventually led to America being wiped.
In the last war between Canada and America -when the 'Pfeifferist' sought revenge, the 'Gold Card Spenders' from Canada were willing to out spend the 'Whales' from America.
Not much need for 'military strategy' when you all you gotta do is outspend the other side.
Excellent work.
Pheiffer wasn't around back then. Well, he was, but he a nobody and went by a different name.
That was right when I was getting started in Congress, I remember being annoyed people wanted to ally with Canada, since I fought in that first war under Nave and always thought we should have perma-wiped them.
CHS is confusing events from 2009 with events from 2011, as is his way. The only connection between the two is in his delusion.
I realized around that time that eRep politics isn't for me, and relegated myselft to Butthole Hater Troll status.
Thank you for confirming that was the era in which 'Pheifferism' began....
Pfeiffer once again has selective memory, conveniently forgetting our more recent history; Canadian War, Government Funding and the DoE.
Pfeifferist is a term that applies to the whole click. Any of them could be Pfeiffer, but we don't like to hear about that.
@ Frank; The Comments in that article are priceless. One guy said, "We have to accuse him of being from Serbia or some Communist Nation."
"Pheifferism," as you call it, is a way more recent thing. I've only heard that term used in the past year or maybe two. The original Canadian/US war under Nave was in like late winter/early spring of 2009 - Pfeiffer, in his current incarnation, didn't start playing until later that year.
Most of the old-school politico's left after V2, and the rest filtered out after the rollback to the crapfest we're left with today. Their exit created a vacuum, which was filled by the so called "Pheifferists" (sic) of today. TBH, I don't even think Pfeiffer even pays much attention to eRep anymore
...and therein lay the problem. Very few "Pfeifferist' actually come into eRepublik to play, instead they play 'eMetapulik' on the 'Ministry of Truth'.
PEACE propaganda!
PEACE AT HOME
PEACE IN THE WORLD
Was that FORTIS picture what they came up with?
