State of Unified Nations (2nd)

State of Unified Nations (SUN) is a medium sized alliance on the Yellow team. It was founded on 8/21/2010.

History
The original SUN was at one point the most powerful alliance in the yellow sphere. However, it eventually merged with a second alliance, Deck of Cards, to form FLY. Months later, two original members of SUN, King James II (re-roll of Deadeye) and KillerCruiser came together to brush off the dust and bring the alliance back to life. They created forums, recruited some members, and established a protectorate treaty with Ragnarok. KittyMelissa was soon appointed Minister of Recruitment. For a few weeks, SUN was one of the fastest growing alliances in the game, quickly gathering a base of 35+ members. On October 10, 2010, hewhoisgod was appointed minister of foreign affairs. And on March 7th 2011 Der Dritte Reich was appointed Minister of Recruitment to replace KittyMelissa who left to form Supreme Guardians. The SUN forums can be found here.

SUN's first foreign affairs crisis happened during May of 2011. A member of SUN by the name of El_barto grew frustrated with a seeming lack of organization on the SUN forums. El_barto raged at multiple government members over irc, culminating in him kicking a senior government member out of the channel. For his actions, SUN sentenced him to PZI. War was declared, and el_barto was anarchied. Two days after the incident, the alliance of Exodus accepted El_barto's application. Exodus' leadership demanded that reps be paid for the damages done prior to El_barto's acceptance. The leadership of SUN refused to pay what they perceived as "laughable terms." However, once Exodus' allies threatened to join in the war, there was only one reasonable choice for SUN to make. 24 million in reps was paid to various Exodus nations.
