= About GUN = GUN is a newly formed alliance that was started on May 12th, 2007, by Emperor Zhaan of Darfazia and mglockwo of Titea. Before beginning this alliance, the two shared responsibilities in a Cyber Citizens alliance called La Cosa Nostra (LCN). The declining CC population and lack of activity, persuaded them to form an alliance in Cyber Nations. Many members of GUN, have come from the respected LCN in support of this wonderful organization. We have had some strong nations show their support. One of the first few nations to join, Foghog 5, brought several members from a previous alliance and because of that support, determination, and dedication, this alliance is growing steadily in strengh. On May 28th, the members of GUN got together and held an unofficial election to put several of the members into postitions of government. These elected members have acted to implement substantial policies on aid and trade programs. We have also established many embassies in an effort to promote good foreign relations. We are like a family here at Global United Nations. This is an organization you can rely on and a definite force to be rekoned with.

The Inevitable Conflict

The Global United Nations Security Council, judging upon the collapse of diplomacy, declares war on BACON. The following message was posted on CN Alliance politics forums :

A signatory of the Global United Nations was attacked early this morning by Rightguard of Pit Stick. Diplomatic efforts were attempted and messages were sent out to the top 6 members of the alliance.

Into the Grapple

All nations from 50 NS to 5700 NS are mobilized. Combat starts almost immediately. Due to GUN over-whelming strategic advantage in numbers, all BACON members are engaged on a 3:1 basis. No nuclear arms are used as the Alliance did not possess any at the time of the conflict.

One by one, BACON members are hit into anarchy with the exception of Bukkis, NationofJunior and Worre. GUN members redouble their efforts against the named individuals.

In at the Death

BACON members begin to offer peace terms with less than original excuses such “mis-clicking”

One by one, BACON members leave the alliance. The grand total at time of writing is three members, down a whopping 75% from the original.
