Anti-Alliance Defense Network of Independent Nations

= AADNIN =

Anti-Alliance Defense Network of Independent Nations.

= Description and Fuction =

This is a proposed defensive group of nations, ones who would like to be part of a community, but without actually being in an alliance and thus taking the risks of being drawn into an alliance war. The intended operation of the network is as follows. First, a nation who has joined the network is called a Node. As in the AADNIN name, all nodes are independent, meaning, they are not obligated in any way to help eachother in wars or battles. What's the advantage? If an AADNIN member is attacked unfairly and is decicively overpowered by multiple nations, that nation may call to other nodes for aid. The call for aid is a general request for aid: other nodes would respond at their discretion and liesure, giving resource/production/military aid or attacking the offenders directly if they wish, whatever they wish. The purpose of this network is to be a group of friendly nations who may be willing to help eachother in the case of an unfair series of attacks. Since it is not an alliance, just a network of friendly neutral independant nations, there is NO alliance tag. There is no AADNIN alliance, "Anti-Alliance" is in the very name! Nodes who begin a war should not be elegible for aid. Of course, since there are no obligations and there is no alliance, there is no guarantee of aid. Still though, there is a chance, which is better than none.

= Administration =

AADNIN has/would have no committee or members, just the nodes. The only nation with any speciality in the network would be Nagashizzar, because its leader - Assimilator - would be the administrator and supervisor of the network. The title of this position is Overseer, because it sounds imposing but actually it's not :) It is purely an administrative position.  Duties include and are limited to: 1) keeping the list of nodes up to date 2) approving/rejecting application 3) checking nodes to make sure they have not built too much military without good cause 4) checking nodes to make sure they have not become members of an alliance 5) checking nodes to make sure they do not have an AADNIN tag

= To Be A Node =

1) A nation that applies to join the network would not be allowed if they are seen as a military power, that is, their nation strength has a large military component. Such a nation would be viewed as a militant rogue, which is not the type of nation that AADNIN is designed to help. 2) Applicant nation MUST NOT be a member of an alliance. Such a nation already has an alliance which can help them, no AADNIN for you! Also, if it later joins an alliance it will be removed from the network without warning. 3) Once a node, the nation must remain unmilitant until attacked first.

This network is designed to help peaceful economic nations in the case that they become suddenly and unfairly attacked. If you think that this network has any desire to fight or compete against or destroy any alliance YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

If you wish to apply to the list of AADNIN nodes, send a message in-game to the leadership of Nagashizzar, or post in the CN Forum thread (title: AADNIN).
