Nordreich (2nd)

Nordreich is a Black Team alliance re-founded May 7, 2009 which bills itself as a Germanic imperialist alliance.

History
Following the disbandment of the original Nordreich in 2007, numerous of its members joined Kaiser Martens' Norden Verein. This alliance, which pursued similar ideological, domestic, and foreign policy to that of Nordreich was forced to disband on 15 August 2008. With an ideological void being left in the Cyberverse, numerous discussions occured on Nordreich's community forums regarding the possibility of reforming as an alliance in Cyber Nations. However, due to concerns over the viability of such a plan, many of which revolved around possible international interpretation of the Continuum-NoV War surrender terms, these plans never came to immediate fruition. During the Karma War, however, with the Continuum and its allies finding themselves badly outnumbered, numerous members of the Nordreich Community decided that the time was ripe to reform as an alliance. Nordreich announced its reformation on May 7, 2009. Rapidly gaining membership, Nordreich has signed several international treaties, and participated in the Second Unjust War (against Valhalla).

Declaration of Direction
Nordreich is a Black-sphere alliance that upholds the principles of Pan-European cultural preservation and manifestation. Centered around Germanic Folkish Nationalism, Nordreich stands in firm opposition to the corrupting influences and shortcomings of worldwide capitalism and international communism, finding both in their extreme forms, as incompatible with the preservation and of traditional European culture and ideals. Primarily based on Germanic culture, values and languages, the Greater Northern Reich is neither politically left-wing nor right-wing, welcoming ideas straddling the political spectrum, welcoming members from all walks of life, so long as they do not embody or further a threat to the Volk. The Reich (being a Pan-European organization) officially promotes and encourages the proper revival of European culture and folklore in an effort to restore the values, industriousness and over all efficiency of these worthy contributors to civilization. United by blood, we strive to protect our unique culture and with it, the people of Nordreich.
