[UKGov] International Relations and Alliances
eUK Home Office
EDIT: Please note that the following information was written on 28/12/10. Since then, there have been plenty of changes in regards to the world's alliances.
Alliances are a group of countries that join military forces in a common goal. Currently there are three major alliances: Phoenix, EDEN and Brolliance. Note that Brolliance is usually allied with EDEN. This article will go over each alliance, along with a history of times before these alliances came to exist. Finally, this article will show how you can get involved with the eUK’s foreign affairs.
A Brief History –
Before Phoenix and EDEN where created, there were two main alliances, ATLANTIS and PEACE. There were several smaller alliances, both before and after this, but due to their insignificance we will not discuss them. However, you can find plenty of information on the wiki about alliances. ATLANTIS was the alliance in which the eUK was involved in, along with the majority of what is now EDEN/Brolliance. While some might draw to the conclusion that EDEN = ATLANTIS and Phoenix = PEACE, there are several differences in membership and the running. ATLANTIS was created in August 2008, and collapsed in May 2009 after Sweden attack Germany, both ATLANTIS countries.
PEACE formed around the same time as ATLANTIS, back in August 2008. But PEACE managed to run for a longer time, officially dissolving in November 2009. During this few months period between the collapse of the two alliances, a few former ATLANTIS nations tried to create a new alliance, Fortis. However, this eventually failed. Eventually EDEN was created in place, but some countries, notably the UK and Germany, decided not to join, eventually joining Phoenix.
Phoenix –
Phoenix was created in early December 2009. There are currently 17 nations in this alliance: Argentina, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and UK. The Phoenix charter can be found here.
EDEN –
EDEN was formed in November 2009. There are currently 14 nations in this alliance: Australia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Canada, China, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. EDEN was originally conceives as a “brotherhood of nations” and not an alliance, so no charter was made during its creation.
Brolliance –
Brolliance was originally between USA and Canada, which was first created in October 2009. However, it has since expanded to also include Australia, Ireland and Japan. Think of this as an extension of EDEN. Its odd but still official charter can be found here.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs –
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deals with international relations. This includes reports on other countries, maintaining communications with Phoenix, and looking into making connections with the rest of the world. The current Minister is keram10 so send him a message if you are interested in working for this ministry. However, since we are nearing the next Prime Minister elections, a new term for this ministry will start, so keep an eye out for applications on the eUK forums in a week’s time for your chance at starting a new term in this ministry.

I know the info on alliances is little, but it's all I can do without being baised. However, since this is a comment, I can be as biased as I want here.

great article! lots of useful info)
Nice article. I found it being very useful since I know very little about the history of this game. I voted for it.
False
False.
Can anyone else suddenly smell bacon?
Of course, UK tries to escape from the fact that it was they who betrayed their allies and not someone else. This is a well-established fact and this article is bogus.
Atlantis did not collapse due to Sweden attacking Germany. At the time, Germany was not a member of the alliance, nor had they ever been. There was a vote and it ended with Atlantis denying Germany membership. It was after this that the Swedish MoD, Misho, informed the leaders of his and Swedens intentions of attacking Germany. This was not some backstabbing move in any way, contrary to what some other countries did during this time.
Junior has done it again.
You could've used my help Stefan
"Atlantis did not collapse due to Sweden attacking Germany."
It really did, it was the final nail in the coffin for ATLANTIS which collapsed within the month of this happening.
I was MoD of eSweden at the time and I gave heads up according to the Atlantis charter that eSweden was about to attack eGermany.
You know the head up eUSA failed to give and Uncle Sam thretened to leave Atlantis for it?
eGermany was given a one month passive membership in Atlantis, DKN was the spokesperson for Germany at the time being.
When the month was over a vote for German membership in Atlantis was about to be held. Since it was clear that eSweden, ePoland, eFinland - well simply put that eGermany was given a snowballs chance in hell to become a member of Atlantis and that Hassan Pesaran among others wanted to slip out of Atlantis and slip Hungary via Scotland through Canada and in to US-ground it was a perfect scapegoat to point at eSweden.
Scrabman, president of eUSA during a part of the Atlantis period declared eSweden as 'The rock of Atlantis' for our ability to keep it together.
eGermany was not a member of Atlantis when eSweden declared war on it.
eSweden gave heads up to all Country Presidents in Atlantis, all according to the Atlantis charter, weeks before the attack on eGermany.
Might wanna add PANAM now
