The Order of Misfit Nations (commonly referred to as Misfits or Misfit Nations) was formed on Novembter 21, 2009 when the founders came together to start an alliance like Planet Bob has never seen. Since the beginning of this world, there have been those who did not fit in with regular alliances. Some remained vagrants, wanderers of the world. Some sought refuge in the powers of the world, groups that would never fully accept them. Others sought to make their own path outside the roads of convention and expectation. They were the outcasts, the dispossessed, the misfits. Thanks to The Order of Misfit Nations, they have a home.
The Order of Misfit Nations is the Protectorate of Viridian Entente (2nd) and Tetris (2nd).
Charter
I: Preamble
In a shared sense of individuality, uniqueness, and spirit, we Misfits hereby come together in common purpose and common principle. We are a home for all those who seek a fresh start. We are a shelter for those with no home. We are a friend to the lonely. We are an ally to the isolated. We are innovation to convention. We are The Order of Misfit Nations.

- Said nation is not currently a member of another alliance.
- Said nation is not involved in any active wars.
- Said nation has submitted an application and has followed up on the application for the up to 72 hours of open questioning from the Peanut Gallery.
- The Squires, Barons, or the Guardians approves of the nations application.
Upon passing of the entrance exam a cadet is then granted membership into The Order of Misfits.
III: Structure
1) Misfit Guardians – The Guardians shall be made up of 2 Full Guardians and 1 Heir.
- Guardians have the final say on any affair involving the alliance as a whole, alliance affairs being handled with a majority vote. The Guardians can Declare War, Sign Treaties, Expel Members, Dismiss members of the Court of Misfits, etc.
Guardians serve for life, until they resign, or until removed via no confidence vote by the remaining Guardians or the Misfits at Large.
- The Heir is the successor to the Guardians. His/Her function is work with the Guardians in the running of the Alliance, presiding over the Barons and can be called into voting on alliance affairs in the case of a split vote in the Assembly of Barons. The Heir can also vote on high government matters should a Guardian be away. The Heir serves at the discretion of the Guardians.
2) The Court of Misfits - The Court is made up of two groups, the Barons and the Counts. These groups come together to assist the Guardians in running the alliance. They can vote on any matter that pertains to the alliance. With a majority vote each matter is moved to the Guardians for consideration. The Court can also bypass the Guardian review with a unanimous vote, any issue voted on in this manner becomes law except amendments to the Charter. A majority vote of the Court may bring any decision before the Guardians to a Vote of Advisement in the Peanut Gallery.
- Barons – The Assembly of Barons are the leaders of the largest Estates. These members assist in the running of the alliance, recruitment of members, and are responsible for approving members.
- Counts – Counts are appointed by the Guardians to run any department the Guardians decides The Order of Misfits Requires. All appointments must be ratified by the Assembly of Barons.
3) Squires - Squires are the heads of single Estates of 2-10 members. A Squire is responsible for the Recruiting, Training, and Friendship Building of his/her Estate. A Squire may elect to, once his Estate is full and with the approval of the Guardians, start a second Estate and become a Baron.
4) The Peanut Gallery – The Peanut Gallery is the general membership of Misfits. They are responsible for manning their Estates, defending The Order of Misfits, voting in Votes of Advisement and working in the alliance’s departments.
IV: Expulsion
Any Misfit may at any time call apon the alliance to expel a member by submitting to the Assembly of Barons the reasons behind the expulsion. Unless the Assembly of Barons come with a unanimous Vote of Pardon the member is tried before the Peanut Gallery. 48 hours after the summons to trial have been made, to allow time for a defense, voting will open for 72 hours. 3/4s of the alliance must vote in favor of expulsion for the member to be removed. The Guardians may pardon any member with a 2/3 vote.
