− | ====Philosophy==== |
||
− | The Latin word ''invictus'' means "unconquer", "unconquerable", or "undefeated." The name Invicta is derived from this word, with the traditionally masculine ''-us'' ending replaced with the traditionally feminine ''-a''. This root word represents the alliance's core value, epitomized by the Invicta motto: <br /> |
||
− | ''Not in bravado and arrogance, but in determination and fearlessness in the face of adversity.''<br /> |
||
⚫ | |||
− | As an alliance of nations Invicta's objectives are: <br /> |
||
+ | {{Main|History of Invicta}} |
||
− | * to practice tolerance and work for the good of all members within the alliance<br /> |
||
− | * to unite under the principle that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts"<br /> |
||
− | * to live in peace and use force only when it is necessary for the common good<br /> |
||
+ | Invicta was formed on 26 May 2007, after [[DoubleU]] and [[Dawny]] left [[Novus Orbus]] over fears that NO's former tyrannical leader would regain power and slowly destroy the alliance. September 2007, Invicta did not fight, instead choosing to aid UPN financially. In June 2008, Invicta began restructuring its government. By way of a Charter amendment, the sole remaining Secretary of State ([[Atlashill]]) was named Vice President. On 12 August 2008, Dawny announced her retirement, designating Atlashill as her successor. Following a largely quiet term of five months, Atlashill retired from the Presidency on 19 January 2009, and was succeeded by [[Jorost]]. On 9 April 2010, Invicta officially changed its name to ''Regnum Invictorum'', {{wikipedia|Latin language|Latin}} for "Realm of the Undefeated". The names "Regnum Invictorum" and "Invicta" are currently used in parallel with each other; until January 2013, "Regnum Invictorum" was used as the alliance affiliation after which time the affiliation returned to Invicta. Regnum Invictorum is still used on some treaty documents. Jorost became Lord Protector of Invicta, Sovereign of the Realm, and Defender of the One True Faith. The remainder of the Invicta Government was altered according to 'the Dear Leader's vision.' |
