Sengoku is a feudal Japanese themed alliance on the Pink team, although Sengoku was originally founded on the Purple team; which is universally considered to be Auto's fault. For their two year anniversary Sengoku announced they were now Cowboy-themed, partner. It was founded on October 28, 2012. Sengoku publicly announced their existence two days later on October 30, 2012. Members of Sengoku consider themselves to be in large part a successor to the defunct Ordinary Men Fighting Giants and Basketball Ninjas alliance.

Meaning of Sengoku

The Sengoku alliance is named after a late period in Feudal Japanese history called the Sengoku period or the Age of the Country at War. The period is typically referred to as being roughly 1400 – 1600 A.D. Many famous battles took place during this era such as the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 where Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated clans loyal to the designated heir and infant Toyotomi Hideyori. By 1603 Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan and established the Tokugawa shogunate which lasted until the Meiji restoration in 1868.

There were many famous Samurai during this period in Japanese history.

• Oda Nobunaga lived a life of continuous military conquest, eventually conquering a third of Japan before his death in 1582.
• Toyotomi Hideyoshi succeeded Oda Nobunaga and unified the political factions of Japan. He brought an end to the Sengoku period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle.
• Tokugawa Ieyasu a general who fought beside Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Sengoku period. He seized power from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's infant son in 1600 and was the founder and first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan.

Other famous historical figures such as Shimazu Yoshihiro, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin and one of the most famous Ninja, Hattori Hanzō.

Constitution

The Constitution of Sengoku is the document by which Sengoku governs itself. It contains the government structure and the powers and responsibilities of each government position. The Constitution also defines admission, membership ranks and requirements, expulsion, and amendments to the document.

Departments

Sengoku's departments are ran by their respective Daimyo with assistance and input given by the Emperor and Shogun.

Foreign Affairs

The Department of Foreign Affairs is responsible for representing Sengoku abroad with other alliances. The Daimyo of Foreign Affairs works closely with the Emperor and Shogun on these matters. The Daimyo is also in charge of making foreign embassies and private forum masks for all foreign diplomats who come to Sengoku.

War and Defense

The Department of War is mainly responsible for preparing Sengoku for wartime contingencies. It is also in charge of handling any Ghost issues, Nuclear policies and administration, maintaining squads, war coordination and target threads for when the alliance is at a state of war.

Development

The Department of Development is responsible for all economic aspects of Sengoku. This encompasses everything from Tech deals and aid programs to wonder development.

Internal Affairs

The Department of Internal Affairs is responsible for maintaining all internal plans and programs. A large portion of the workload is spent supporting Ashigaru who will eventually become full member Samurai once it is deemed appropriate. They accomplish this by maintaining the Academy and maintaining/updating guides accordingly. Other responsibilities of the department entail conducting building and maintaining trade circles, completing nation audits as well as selective recruiting.

Alliance history

This section requires expansion.

Founding

Sengoku was conceived by Autosave, Rogal Dorn and President SO in early October 2012. It wasn't founded until weeks later on October 28, 2012 by Autosave36, Rogal Dorn, President SO, Gingervites, Dcrews, spacecadet, kamadeyaha, RulerOfTheEast, Melutar, Etalbyn, Konrad Curze and Drege. It was founded on the purple team for better trade circle coordination with their allies in the Sons of Anarchy Defense and Development bloc. Two days after it's founding Sengoku declared their existence to the cyberverse. This announcement was followed up by their official entry into SoA. A short time later their friends in The Outlaws Republic joined SoA as well.

A month after its founding, a group of rulers formerly of the alliance Basketball Ninjas, a former ally and PF blocmate of Ordinary Men Fighting Giants, joined Sengoku. This group of included J Bibbs, dockingscheduled, hartfw, bcortell, Sambone, Shaazzam, and jobet5s. They were later joined by former BN'ers Garmfay, Old Major, Schadsylvania, and coldfish.

A new year, a new war

In early January 2013 Sengoku and Argent signed an MDoAP treaty called, the Silver Katana Compact. Just Two weeks later, on 18 January, the Equilibrium War broke out with Sengoku's ally, Anarchy Inc (and 4 other AAs), declaring war on Umbrella. The counter on Ai came on 20 January with Mushroom Kingdom and The Order of the Paradox declaring war. Sengoku, TPF, TORN, GLOF, AB, DT, NX, Ag, ML declared war on TOP the very next day. The TOP front of the war quickly expanded and TSO, TOOTR, and Alchemy (through a ghost DoW by MK) joined the front defending TOP. Sengoku and bcortell continued to coordinate the TOP front until the war ended on March 26, 2013 with the Umbrella coalition surrendering in entirety to the Equilibrium coalition.

After the war ended Sengoku left SoA. Sengoku also signed MDoAP treaties with AB and GLOF, both of whom they had built a solid working relationship with while working together in the war.
