Umbrella

About Umbrella
You can stay underneath my Umbrella-ela-ela-ela. Umbrella is a quiet, exclusive alliance that resides on the Black sphere. They enjoy a high average nation strength of over 55,000, resulting in a total nation strength of over 4,000,000. Umbrella remains a peaceful alliance, preferring to "live and let live" so long as nothing threatens them or their allies - but should that day come, any enemy will find them quite ready for war, and prepared to unleash their nuclear arsenal.

Charter and Government
Umbrella is ruled by a democratically elected triumvirate and run by the Umbrellian Guard, who are charged with determining which treaties Umbrella will sign and which applicants will be accepted. The official charter can be read here.
