The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises was a yellow sphere peace, intelligence, aid and trading pact between the Holy Order and the Order of Feudalistic Security. Inertia was a member but has since dibanded. When announced The Roman Republic was said to be a signatory but it was later found out that they had not voted to sign it and would not sign it. Due to this a week-in-a-half later the Roman-Inertia War broke out with Rome's protector GGA and Rome (plus several other allies) attacking Inertia. Due to this war Inertia disbanded and is no longer a member of this bloc.
