The Last Republic

The Last Republic (TLR), founded 14 October 2010, is an alliance on the Purple sphere.

History Blurb
After spending time together discussing their philosophies and ideas about the mission & goals of a successful alliance (during September of 2010), a group of ex-IRON friends decided to create a new alliance which, based on the principles and ideas they shared, could serve as a new home in which to grow and prosper.

Upon posting their DoE on 14 October of the same year, the Last Republic signed the Ferrum Act, thereby becoming a protectorate of the Legion. As a protectorate, the alliance grew steadily and peacefully until January of 2011 when war broke out around the world (see Doom House-NPO war). TLR and a coalition of small alliances fought alongside the New Pacific Order against the GOONS and the members of Doom House, but were not ultimately victorious. Nevertheless, post-war reconstruction commenced almost immediately and brought the Republic back to its pre-war standing within a few months.

After brief involvement in The Revolution, now a defunct micro-bloc, TLR sought to focus on strengthening diplomatic ties with their closest allies of the time, the Legion & We Are Perth Army. The Republic declared its independence from protectorate status on 4 July 2011, and continues to maintain strong ties with the Legion. After an extended period of time spent working closely with the micro-alliance known as Axis, it was decided to initiate a merge into the Last Republic; the announcement of the merger was posted on 22 September 2011.

On 14 October, the Republic celebrated its first anniversary of existence and announced to the planet a switch from the orange sphere to the purple sphere, a change initiated in part by altered in-game trading policy, and partially as a political move to facilitate the creation of a distinct, "TLR identity."

The TOP\IRON-NpO War

TLR's theatre of the war, the BFF-Sentinel Front, began with UPN's attack on IRON and TOP in defense of her ally, the New Polar Order. Not long after, TORN, an IRON satellite, entered the war in opposition to UPN in support of her allies. Menotah soon thereafter joined the war in support of UPN, declaring on TORN. The chain reaction was started: FEAR entered the war to counter Menotah; The Last Republic and USN entered to counter FEAR; Europa and Wolfpack entered to counter Menotah and USN; NEW, Paragon, and URON entered to counter TLR (NEW later declared on all Sentinel members); GDA entered to counter FEAR; MCXA entered to counter NEW.

The Last Republic declared war on FEAR the night following Menotah's declaration (3 December). After two nights of considerable success, the combined forces of NEW, Paragon, and URON proceeded to declare war on the Republic in defense of their mutual ally, a move that set back the Republic's war effort dramatically.
