The Early Days
During his first two months in NATO, Anu Drake took a variety of positions in the military and diplomatic corps in NATO, serving as squad and company commanders and assistant ambassadors. He even for Secretary of Defense after one month of membership, coming in fourth. He finally broke through in May 2007 when he was elected Secretary of State of NATO.

Secretary of State
Anu Drake started his term as Secretary of State on May 1, 2007. His ability to do this role was tested very early on by the growing tensions on the Aqua Sphere brought on by the founding of Sanctum and their relationship with the Mostly Harmless Alliance. To address the tensions, Anu Drake invited the major players to the Aqua Security Summit or ASS. Beginning on May 22, 2007, the leaders of the major Aqua alliances got together to address how the larger alliances on the Aqua Sphere would relate to each other. Although the ASS would end without any kind of resolution, it is remembered today as the first substantial step towards Aqua Unity.

His ability to unite leaders and alliances towards a common cause would be shown in June 2007 with the creation of the Common Defense Treaty or CDT. Originally founded with eight members and just over 1 million NS, CDT would eventually grow to be one of the larger blocs on Planet Bob. Other diplomatic accomplishments made by Anu Drake during this time period included a NAP with TFD, an MDP with TAB, and an MADP with MHA.

His ability to lead an alliance during a war would soon be proven as NATO was victorious in its wars with ITAO and ALMEA in July and August of 2007.
