Communist Party of CyberNations

Haraldur's Idea
Haraldur, the founder of the Libertarian Socialist Federation, started a topic in the LSF Forums shortly after the New Workers Front Event. In effect, he stated that he wanted to create a new alliance, but do it in a smarter way than the NWF did. He proposed a new Leftist Alliance, based upon Marxist-Leninist principles, following in the footsteps of ICSN, ICP, and SWF. Not a reformation, but a moderate Leftist alliance, whose purpose, among other things, was to bridge the growing gap between the Socialistic Empire and the Libertarian Socialist Federation. Haraldur proposed the new alliance, the Communist Party of CyberNations, become a Protectorate of the LSF, before the formation is announced.

Getting Started
Demokratikos created the forums for the new alliance, and Haraldur wrote up the first draft of the Constitution. The actual vote to form the CPCN ended on September 8th, although the announcement of the formation came a few days later than that. ScoobyDooby-Doo of the LSF posted their protectorate treaty over the CPCN at the same time that Haraldur posted the declaration of formation on the Cybernations forums.

The First Month
In the first month of the CPCN, many major events occurred, that the fledgling alliance had to address.

GWIV
Largest among them, the Fourth Great War, or the Unjust War. The CPCN voted to stay out of GWIV, for obvious reasons.

Socialistic Empire Protectorate
Demokratikos, Comrade Foreign Commissar, approaches Silent, Pablo, and other high-ranking -SE- officials about -SE- possibly announcing Protectorate over the CPCN. After about a week’s time, their vote has concluded, and it is announced. The CPCN has the Protection of the two major Leftist alliances at this time. After the Coup attempt done by Demokratikos and the support -SE- had given to the coup CPCN decided to cancel the protectorate.

Nuke Rogue
Another major event was an LSF Member, RedTerror, posting on the LSF that he was going to go nuclear rogue, and asking for targets. The LSF failed to report this to the CN world, causing much disgust in the integrity of some of the members. A hacked account posted screenshots of the LSF forums on the CN forums, revealing the rogue threat. RedTerror was forced to go nuke rogue without saving up a war chest, and thus was mostly unsuccessful in his attacks on the top Norden Verein nation, Reich Zealand, and Nueva Vida member, Acamas, who is hated by many LSF-ers, for his merciless neoconservative, homophobic and Nationalist sentiments, and for expressing them on many occasions with the intention of provoking the LSF in their public forums.

Spy Ring
The Nov reveals that they had discovered a top-secret Leftist Spy Ring founded by Haraldur, and involving numerous current LSF members and LSF expatriates. This was also one of the instigators of the Nov-LSF War. Haraldur, inactive on the CPCN forums at this time, was voted down from his Party Chairman position due to the spy ring incident and his inactivity.

Although the forums were never proven to be an active spy ring, there was no way to disprove it, with Haraldur inactive at the time and a vast majority of the topics deleted. This was still however, enough proof for NoV to use as a reason for war claiming there were topics made on their alliance, despite all being made on its former shell, NoR.

The Second Month
During this time CPCN grew at rapid speed and at the end of the month went through internal struggle.

Failed Coup Attempt
The CPCN was destined to have elections at 29th of October and it seemed that the late chairman Demokratikos had lost much of his support. Few days before the elections Demokratikos demasked all other admins from the board, being the ROOT Administrator and imposed an undemocratic constitution which would had made him Premier for life. Some members of CPCN had seen this coming and Finnish Commie had created backup forums few days before the incident. It soon came apparent that Demokratikos had no internal support for his coup except for few members. The Socialistic Empire on the other hand was vocal supporter of Demokratikos and the CPCN and -SE- were on the verge of war. With much external pressure from such alliance like ODN and TCB and with Silent's return to -SE-, -SE- removed it's support from Demokratikos. Few days later the protectorate between -SE- and CPCN was canceled by the CPCN. Demokratikos and some of his supporters were put on the CPCN's ZI list. Shortly after this CPCN finished it elections and elected Finnish Commie as the third Chairman of the Party.

Foreign Relations
The Third month was important for CPCN's foreign relations. After losing both of its protectors, LSF and -SE-, CPCN had to look for allies from other directions. Alliances like ODN and TCB, who supported CPCN during the coup, were a logical choise. CPCN signed an Optional Defense and Amity treaty with the ODN and Mutual Defense Pact with the TCB.

March
March began with the CPCN expanding and reaffirming relations with their allies. Starting off strong, the party was admitted into the Orange Unity Treaty on March 12th. Prior to that, on March 11th, the General Assembly voted to establish a Protectorate for the Crimson Brigade, an alliance created by the former CPCN member shadowduelist. Tensions began to brew between NoV & CPCN towards the end of the month, with NoV accusing the CPCN of recruiting LSF members who had not accepted peace terms from the ongoing LSF-NoV War. A dual statement between both parties was posted on March 24th to resolve the issue. Concluding the month with two final votes, the The Righteous Fist's PIAT was upgraded to a ODP and a MDP was signed with the ODN.

Elections
Election Results for April:

Party Chairman: Sovyet Gelibolu Commissar for Foreign Affairs: The Greatevilfish Comrade General: CPGallagher Commissar for Central Planning: JustinG Commissar for Recruitment: Jackred Commissar for the Census: Arrnea

May
The 1st of the month began with the parties close ally, The German Empire, making an ultimatum against NoV regarding the controversial Nordland Treaty. Being sympathetic for TGE’s demands, the party issued a statement of support, which also included the then concluded election results. Within the next few days, NoV made amends to the Nordland Treaty for TGE, and a brief period of peace followed.

On the night of May 10th, the Continuum-NoV War war began, but the CPCN had been requested to not engage in the first wave of attacks. In support of TOOL on May 13th, the CPCN declared war on Legio X. Within the following week, the war had expanded to Legio X’s MDP partners, freaksafari.com and League of United Armenians. This was to be the CPCN’s first war.

Peace for Legio X and freaksafari.com was accepted on May 22nd and 23rd, but LuA had not been presented, with what they believed was “fair terms” from Continuum. Upset about this indifference, on May 29th, the High Chancellor went nuke rogue on government members from CPCN and Continuum. With the LUA’s refusal to remove the rogue government member, nuclear weapons were authorized.

Concluding the month was a PIAT for the Cascadian Republic.
