General Info
Background
ISSF is an Orange Team Alliance. ISSF stands for International States of Solidarity and Freedom. The alliance was founded by ShawnNL on December 24th, 2007. After being involved in other alliances and alliance politics, ShawnNL decided to try his hand at creating an alliance from scratch. With an idea in mind he ventured forth and founded the ISSF.
The ISSF began recruitment immediately and in a very short time had exploded it's member count from 1 to 140 members. During this first initial recruiting drive many newcomers to the game were welcomed into the ISSF. Being a small alliance, with budding new players the learning curve was a little steep. With persistence, ShawnNL continued to attempt to make his alliance come to life.
A few weeks after, ShawnNL appointed bk as the de facto leader due to some personal circumstances. bk, being a newcomer to CN himself with a Government consisting of all new players would embark on a journey that none of them could imagine. Together they had to learn the ins and outs of the game: Diplomacy, Economics, Political Structure just to name a few. Kudos to all that came before them and did it on their own, it hasn't been an easy task by any means. But, with help from ISSF's pals in FOK, they were able to learn comfortably and grow safely underneath the watchful eye of Mother FOKker.
The Official Coronation Ceremony
Since our beginning at 70,000NS, we have made some progress in these few months.
As you can see ISSF is doing quite well and is well within reaching 1,000,000NS within the coming weeks. This is cause for much jubilation and excitement, as we all patiently await the fruits of our labour to ripen.
FINEPRINT: GRAPH NOT DRAWN TO SCALE
<<----- Presented here is a graph of our growth.
Government & Politics
Structure
The government of the ISSF is built for speed in decisions and maintaining a centralized seat of power. Below are the positions and their descriptions taken from the ISSF Official Charter
Emperor & Imperial Chancellor
The Emperor and Imperial Chancellor hold ultimate discretion over the ISSF alliance. They are the key elements in the higher level government. All matters are subject to these seats of power. Any decisions made by any member of government may be over-turned by the Emperor or Imperial Chancellor. The Emperor holds ultimate power, while the Imperial Chancellor is there in assistance form. Imperial Chancellor will hold power in absence of the Emperor. During times of absence, the Imperial Chancellor will become acting Emperor and will have full duties and responsibilities of the Emperor.
If the absence of the Emperor is extended beyond reasonable time-frames, the Imperial Chancellor and Imperial Ministers may remove the Emperor from position, moving the Imperial Chancellor to become the new Emperor. At such a time, the Imperial Chancellor will also name his second, to become Imperial Chancellor.
Imperial Ministers
Imperial Ministers are appointed by the Emperor or Imperial Chancellor. They are also member of the higher government. Their duties vary and are assigned by the Emperor or Imperial Chancellor. Imperial Ministers are not elected officials, they are hand chosen, and as such can not be voted out of power. Demotions are solely the discretion of the leadership. For any decisions affecting the alliance as a whole, two ministers may make decisions if the matter is pressing and cannot wait 12 hours.
Imperial Diet
Imperial Diet are appointees of the Imperial Ministers and members of the complete government. Their duty is to assist the Imperial Ministers in the duties that have been appointed to them. Imperial Diet are not an election-based seat. Imperial Diet will be members hand chosen from the active membership. Members in good standing and active in the forums may nominate themselves for a position, but as such are still hand selected by Ministers or above.

Charter
The ISSF maintained a new existence as an alliance for nearly three months without any official charter. After debate, government changes, and real-life time constraints, the government set forth to create their charter. On March 3rd, 2008, it was officially adopted and made effective.

Military
While the ISSF maintains a strong economic presence, we are aware that a military force is needed as well to maintain security and safety for our alliance.
Military Structure
The ISSF Military structure currently consists of a Minister of Defense, two colonels, and four lieutenants together lead two squads. As the alliance grows, the military adjusts to compensate, growing and shrinking when necessary.
Military History
The ISSF, though attempting to maintain peace, does recognize the occasional need for military action. To view a history of their involvements please view the ISSF Military Logs.
