Omniscient Empire of Green

The Omniscient Empire of Green (OEG, the Empire) is an alliance located on the Green Trading Sphere, however the alliance also deals on the Purple Trading Sphere. The alliance was founded on May 25th, 2010 after months of planning and determination by the Preliminary Government. All of the members have had experience in Cybernations for more than a year, and the Empire is protected by The iFOK!-Alliance, an alliance that is ranked in the Top 40.

Imperial History
The idea of the Empire was brought up in February 2010 by two Cybernations players; Darth Blitzer, and KINGKrath. Darth Blitzer (henceforth known as Dblitzer) wanted to create an alliance that would prosper. ''Many moons ago I attempted to make an alliance with my friends, it sadly failed, due to various issues which led to us getting tech-raided and unable to get a protectorate, so I merged the alliance into ISSF. But my dreams of making an alliance with my friends didn't end, and finally the time has come where I have enough people to make this thing work.'' In the end, iFOK decided that they wanted to protect OEG, and the Empire accepted greatfully. The Omniscient Empire of Green was The iFOK!-Alliance's first protectorate, but hopefully not the last. The Members had been friends with The iFOK!-Alliance for a long time before that, and they were extremely happy to be able to keep the relationship with iFOK that they had for so long. Originally, the Declaration of Existence was set for June 1st 2010, however through the cooperation of all of the founding members, everything was able to be finished early, and the official Declaration of Existence was May 25th, 2010.

Imperial Awards
The Empire awards its members thru their own ribbon case, which includes any of these ribbons that they have been awarded by the Triumvirate:

At any point if the other two members of the Triumvirate of the Omniscient Empire of Green become dissatisfied with the direction of the Emperor they may vote to replace him with another member of the Triumvirate.

Only in the event of honoring an MDP, MDAP, or other treaty witch obligates the OEG into a war, may the emperor declare war on his own authority.


 * 5. Upon election of the Emperor, he shall retain the power and responsibilities designated in his triumvirate post.
