Ascended Republic of Elite States

Overview
The Ascended Republic of Elite States is a medium-sized alliance on the blue sphere dedicated to making allies, both inside and outside the alliance, rather than being overly belligerent. Members of the alliance focus on treating each other with the utmost respect and assist as much as they can in its daily functioning. Also, they supply each other with weed, beer, video game tips, reasons the other guy's favorite sports teams and movies suck, and seemingly constant and incessant derogatory comments regarding each others mothers, sexuality, and hygiene.

While the Republic has not existed for very long on Planet Bob, they have built up strong relationships with several other alliances and pledge to remain just when conducting inter-alliance affairs or just during day-to-day existence.

History
The Ascended Republic of Elite States was spawned from loyalists to the Ascended Coalition of Liberty when that alliance was merged into Ragnarok. The Ascended Republic of Elite States will always be grateful to, and recognize Ragnarok for accommodating the formation of this alliance, and offering protection during its formation.

The Founding of ARES
ARES was founded when Joe Stupid and Caossal picked up Monstermaster in a suspicious van. It is rumored that they used candy to lure the young one in. They drove to the West coast to pick up v0.0v. Dodged a barrage of paintballs, but finally managed to capture the elusive Saphirefenix. The picked up the creepy and mysterious p0rkSab3r along a desolate stretch of Southern highway, and the van hasn't smelled quite the same since. Barix9 jumped on board, and with infectious motivation, actually added some order to the madness. With the addition of Jotti, Rob26480, Bob the OK, George W Bush, Bob Ilyani, Flameman, and Anubis, a darker funk spread over the van. Inspired, they decided to make this part of their continued quest for all. An alliance was founded, and there is no turning back. The God of War demands that the quest drive ever forward.

And so it shall.
