Golden Union of Nations

Golden Union of Nations (GUN) is a small sized alliance on the Yellow Sphere.

History of the Golden Union of Nations
GUN started as a project by Vandelsand in early July, 2013. Vandelsand inquired to many nations of rundown alliances as to whether they were interested in creating an alliance of their own to stand the tests of time. The initial stages of the alliance creation were done through voting online. The members voted for type of government and alliance name separately. There was a runoff vote for the alliance name and Golden Union of Nations was the most popular choice.

Flag of GUN
The GUN Flag is a golden backdrop with 21 stars. The 21 total stars represent the 21 members of the alliance at the time of their Declaration of Existence. The two stars in the middle are representative of the Chief and Chief of Staff of the alliance.
