The United Purple Nations is an alliance on the purple trade sphere in Cyber Nations and was founded by Altheus on the 23rd of January, 2007. They are often associated with the CDT bloc of which they had been members of since 2007 until withdrawing from the bloc in September 2010. They are also founding members of PEACE and Poseidon, a major purple sphere bloc that includes most purple alliances, though they are no longer a member of these. On February 27, 2010, United Purple Nations ranked within the top 12 alliances with more than 200 members, earning them sanction status, and on March 7, 2010 their flag was added to the game as Custom 67. 2010 also the first prolonged period where Altheus was not officially in control of the alliance. At the end of a tumultuous 2010, UPN changed leadership bringing Altheus back and adding Robster. In early 2011, Tecumseh became a trium as well forming the current UPN leadership.
History & Culture
The United Purple Nations (UPN) started back in January 2007, in an era when they were far fewer alliances than they are today and only one Purple, the Legion. At the time Legion consisted of 1,500 nations and the original members of UPN wanted to be Purple, but wanted something smaller and closer-knit. UPN's early years were one of uninterrupted rapid growth as the alliance had few enemies and could concentrate on internal affairs instead. This peace was to be broken however due to two issues. The first was that UPN attracted negative attention from a far bigger alliance by the name of GOONS and the second was that all was not well in the Purple sphere.
A third alliance had started up in the Purple sphere called Valhalla who had broken away from Legion and were particularly hostile to their former alliance. noWedge, the leader of Valhalla, had ambitions to claim the Purple sphere and manipulated the NPO and others that were already hostile to Legion to help bring them down. This put UPN in a difficult spot. For while they weren't close to either other major Purple alliance at the time, noWedge was prepared to strike out at UPN to control the sphere.
Due to these growing concerns, UPN established links with the NpO and joined the CDT. Both organizations helped to shield UPN from both GOONS and noWedge's attention. UPN then helped to protect a fellow Purple alliance, Invicta, by getting them to join CDT as well; as they were also receiving threats from Valhalla.
After this the Unjust War broke out, NpO vs. GOONS and UPN unsurprisingly joined NpO's side against GOONS. The war was a victory and GOONS disbanded, thereby preventing them from threatening UPN again.
The time after the Unjust War was a golden age for the alliance. It's membership swelled to over 300 members and the CSE, [[NCAAbbs] and MCB all merged into UPN. Safe from the ravages of war the alliance prospered.
In mid 2008 however UPN suspended it's treaty with NpO, because of the Emperor of NpO's (Electron Sponge) increasing madness. A month later the War of the Coalition broke out and due to the activation of a number of treaties UPN found itself an unwilling partner on the Coalition's side.
During the later half of 2008 and early 2009, the alliance was at a crossroads. Like in many alliances the Vox Populi movement caught the imagination of many of it's members and alliance opinion was split between sticking with it's allies in GGA, NATO, NPO and others or switching sides to the new emerging force. A large part of this was anger inside UPN at what had happened to NpO and a wish to punish the Coalition for the past war.
UPN however stood by the Hegemony, realizing that it's old allies were in trouble and needed help. The Karma War broke out and the Hegemony, including UPN, lost. UPN however rebuilt afterward and stands strong and united, looking into the future. Recently things have turned full circle and NpO & UPN are once again allied and have been for some time.
Since then UPN has dealt with many a crisis.
By early 2010 the world was once again on the brink of war, and as could be expected UPN stood firmly beside NpO. During the beginnings of the BiPolar war, as it would be called, NpO declared war on \m/. This would eventually lead UPN and the rest of CDT into the fight in defense of Polar. Invicta and UPN both declared war on R&R during the war.
Despite the first strike, BiPolar ended up being a massive world war and ended in defeat for Polar and allies. Most alliances received white peace and various reparations.
After this Altheus retired from government for the first time in UPN's long history. Peggy_Sue took over the Prime Minister position. The rest of 2010 passed mostly without incident. Some shakeups were made, but no wars or political intrigue directly affected UPN.
That all changed by November, a time that many believe will live in infamy in UPN. Because of UPN's incredibly unpopular state, many members were leaving to find new places to call their own. And in the process government positions became vacant. Despite turbulent times UPN decided to cancel their treaty with ODN outright over disagreements about how OsRaven handled a major political issue with GOONS. Because of member hemorrhaging and seeing an opportunity to do some good in the alliance, Dexomega joined the alliance and after some time gained a Tribune position to fill the gap left by leaving members.
By mid-December, a major political situation again started with GOONS because a UPN Applicant had declared war on a GOONS member. While most of the government united in favor of going to war with GOONS instead of negotiating, Dex took a controversial and unilateral step and went to the GOONS leadership several times with other UPN member's help to attempt a close on the situation, without the consent of the majority government. After some negotiation Dex and GOONS agreed that both parties would simply walk away from the situation, no strings attached. Dex notified the other UPN government of these dealings and the agreement to white peace, much to their dismay.
This caused a cataclysm shortly thereafter with most of the government leaving, eventually leaving only Dex as Tribune and NakedTime as the de-facto Prime Minister. Most former UPN government would go on to form a new alliance, Pegasus. Despite the grim times, Altheus returned to UPN government and helped organize a new government and charter, once again taking over command of UPN with a new Triumvirate system.
Today UPN continues rebuilding itself after the events of 2010. It maintains strong ties with NpO and recently joined the MDoAP Bloc Sentinel as a founding member with longtime allies GDA, USN, and Menotah.
Constitution
The United Purple Nations exists to provide an approachable all-purple alliance to its members and friends.
To make it work, the UPN has a number of small and hopefully unobtrusive rules:
- No member shall assault, obstruct, or hinder any other member.
- In the unfortunate event of war, members are expected to help defend one another.
- Members are to abide by any treaties signed for by the Alliance.
- No member is to attack any other Purple nation, unless in defense of their own nation or the Alliance.
UPN Charter: The Periwinkle Papers
Preamble
The United Purple Nations exists to provide an approachable purple alliance to its members and friends; to provide her members with safety, prosperity, and freedom through a tight knit community and government. In return, every member shall respect, and honor this charter, which is the highest law of the United Purple Nations.
I. Admission
Any nation wishing to join the United Purple Nations is required to wear the “United Purple Nations” as its Alliance Affiliation, and may not be participating in any international conflict, or be in another alliance. The Cabinet of the United Purple Nations may implement additional application requirements, processes, and standards of training before any nation is inducted as a member. Nations flying the “United Purple Nations” as the Alliance Affiliation, but have not been inducted as a member may still have their right to safety and liberty guaranteed provided they have obeyed the laws of the alliance.
Civil Liberties
Each member of the United Purple Nations has the liberty to exercise freedom of speech, expression, association and belief within the bounds of non-aggression. Each member has the right to control their own nation as they see fit, provided it does not directly harm the United Purple Nations or abuse any nation. No law or policy may be made to infringe on these liberties.
II. Government
The Triums of the United Purple Nations The highest branch of the United Purple Nations consists of three Triums. The title of ‘Trium’ of the United Purple Nations is the highest position in the UPN. The three Triums shall each specialise in one area of expertise; namely Foreign Affairs, Military Affairs & Internal Affairs. In their area of expertise they act as the highest authority, provided their views don't run contrary to both other Triums. The Triums are also responsible for appointing and removing members of the senate. A Trium can be impeached with a unanimous vote by the other two Triums and a 51% vote by the general assembly. Upon resignation or removal a new Trium shall be appointed by the remaining two Triums.
The Senate
The Senate functions as the de facto political body of the alliance. The Senate consists of the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Envoys, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Education. By and large, the Senate fulfills the day-to-day administrative management of the alliance in each of its five main areas of interest, being military support and maintenance, foreign affairs, and internal management. The Senate has the ability to veto a decision made by the Triums. In order for a veto to pass through the Senate, it must receive at least four out of the five Ministers votes. Each Minister retains the right to appoint officers to head the various departments and offices under their supervision and guidance (including deputies)
The specific functions of the Senate are set forth below.
Minister of Defense
The Minister of Defense is the second-in-command of the UPN military, and acts as sergeant major to the Trium of War's commander-in-chief. His/her duties are to maintain the military by any means deemed necessary, including organization and maintenance of UPN forces.
Minister of Envoys
The Minister of Envoys is the head of the UPN foreign affairs department. His/her duties include ensuring that the foreign relations of the alliance are secure and ongoing. He/she is to make sure allies are well treated and visited regularly and also to maintain foreign embassies to a high standard. He/she may assign diplomats to various alliances that he/she sees fit.
Minister of the Interior
The Minister of the Interior is head of the UPN internal affairs department. The department includes all activities concerning the general membership of the UPN, including moderation of the forums & recruitment of new members.
Minister of Finance
The Minister of Finance is head of the UPN financial affairs department. He/she coordinates all aid programs, coordinates trades, and makes sure that UPN nations are as strong as possible.
Minister of Education
The Minister of Education is responsible for the education of the UPN's members, whether it be simple diplomatic tact, war, or growing a nation. He is responsible for appointing Professors and taking care of students. He/she is also responsible for maintaining all guides, as well as overlooking the UPN academy.
Elders
The Elder position is awarded to members that have stepped down as Triums, as well as other committed members that have served UPN in a very special way. Elders have no specific duties or power, but instead is an honor bestowed on a UPN member.
III. Amendment
The Periwinkle Papers may be modified with universal agreement amongst the Triums and a majority vote amongst the membership.
