Invicta

Invicta
This is a new alliance created by Dawny and DoubleU, formerly of the alliance Novus Orbus. Later joined by fellow former member of Novus Orbus Steve927 and synagence from Illuminati. It is officially a purple alliance and is growing very rapidly.

The Philosophy
Invicta is latin for undefeated, and in this lies our motto.

Not in bravado and arrogance, but in determination and fearlessness in the face of adversity.

As an alliance of nations we aim:


 * to practice tolerance and work for the good of all members within this alliance,


 * to unite under the principle 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts',


 * to live in peace save only when force is necessary in the common interest.

Remember, you are only defeated when you give up!

Invictus Poem
The 1875 poem Invictus, by British poet William Henley is used as an official poem/symbol of the Invicta Alliance.

The word Invictus is Latin for 'unconquered'. Invictus and Invicta are closely related words,

with Invicta being feminine for undefeated, and Invictus being its masculine equivalent.

The Invictus poem is in the public domain, since the author died over 100 years ago.

Text of the poem:

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.
