War and Trade Federation

Beginning
The War and Trade Federation is a rather small alliance, consisting of only the countries of Renais--its current most powerful member--The Spartic Empire, a small warlike race; the Communist nation Athlone; Xerthon, the alliance's only Jainist; the almost disturbingly Communist nation Communist Bloc; and the on-and-off warlike Kandie Land. Yeven, ruler of Xerthon, acts as the Secretary-General of the Federation until official elections are held.

In Times of Peace...
Every member of the Federation has a trade agreement with every other member in order to promote both unity and the funds of its members. All new members are also encouraged to do so. Each nation is also very strongly encouraged to donate to members who are struggling financially.

...And Times of War
The Federation has a very strict policy on wars. All invasions must be approved by the Secretary of War (currently Evilbob27 of Renais) and attacks launched against a member must be kept eye-for-an-eye until the reasoning is straightened out. Nuclear attacks are forbidden except in defense of one's own country.

The Spartic-Cannan War
On November 7, 2006, an imposter army in Spartic Imperial uniform assaulted the unsuspected country of Canna World, ruled by Smily, under the pretense that the country spelled "Smiley" wrong. The two countries were thrown into a devasting war. Though the Federation itself wasn't directly involved, besides the Spartics, all countries had soldiers poised and ready for war. Though only six battles were fought, each country won three and lost three, so no one country was winnning yet many soldiers were dying. Only when the imposter--the Emperor's own younger brother--was found and removed and both sides realized the fighting was going nowhere was peace declared. The Spartics are still trying to clear their name in the eyes of Canna World and its allies.
