The Alliance at a Glance

The Confederation of Allied Nations is an Cybernations player created alliance, which made its official public debut February First of the Second Year of Bob (2007). The Alliance was officially founded on the First of July of the First Year of Bob, and existed in a state of semi - isolation while preparing for its public debut. It is governed by a Council composed of the Founding Members and those whom they choose to join the Council at a later time. The Council is responsible for all major policy decisions, though they share some of their policy making authority with the Confederation Assembly. The Confederation of Allied Nation's Chief Executive is the Paladin, who is elected every four months by the members of the Council from their own ranks. The Paladin is the leader of the Council, the Commander - in - Chief of the Confederation Armed Forces, and the Confederation's Chief Diplomat. The Paladin may appoint Ministers to share in the duties of governing the alliance. The Confederation Assembly serves as the voice of the Confederation membership, giving all Confederation Members the opportunity to take part in their government, and, in concert with the Council, the Assembly ratifies treaties and confirms the appointments of officers to serve the Confederation of Allied Nations. All members of the Confederation of Allied Nations are admitted by a vote of all Council members. The Confederation perfers to steer an independent course of foreign affairs, and claims no official alignment to any part of the MDP web at this time.
