Sanitarium is a small white-team alliance that was founded on March 28, 2010 by memoryproblems. Sanitarium was based primarily on the white team, however nations from all colors were welcomed to apply without any obligation to move to the white team if accepted.

Sanitarium was named after the song Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica, which was also the inspiration for the Sanitarium motto, Welcome to where time stands still.

Constitution

Sanitarium was governed by a set of documents which all members of Sanitarium were expected to live by and uphold. These three documents made up the foundation of Sanitarium legislation, and were known as the Constitution of Sanitarium, the Sanitarium Manifesto of the Government, and the Sanitarium Manifesto of the Membership. Together, these documents laid out Sanitariums government and its functions, as well as the rights and obligations of Sanitarium Members.

On January 26, 2011, Sanitarium entered the Doom House-NPO War in defense of their allies in The Phoenix Federation, attacking Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence, and Sadism. Sanitarium fought in this war until a coalition-wide peace agreement had been negotiated and approved, and exited the war on May 2, 2011.

War Involvement

Throughout its existence, Sanitarium only participated in one war, the Doom House-NPO War. In this war, Sanitarium was among the first to enter following the pre-emption attacks against the New Pacific Order by the alliances of Doom House Accords. Sanitarium entered on the night of January 26, 2011, activating its treaty with The Phoenix Federation and declaring war on the Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence, and Sadism, and fought until a coalition-wide peace agreement had been negotiated and finalized.

While statistically one of the smallest alliances involved in the war, Sanitarium fought valiantly, and at several points had the most offensive wars per member of any alliance in their coalition. When Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence, and Sadism released the first draft of the reparations they wanted from the war, the reps requested from Sanitarium were the highest monetary reps per capita of any alliance in the NPO coalition.
