EDDA
"I will not mince words. I will not tell a lie. I will not paint myself as a hero, a bringer of justice to this injustice world. I have only one truth and one truth only; the flourishing of human civilization so that we may one day see today's cultural, economic and military potential of those who were spared the truncheon of damnation, and so forth one day birth the dominance of tomorrow's empires."
EDDA is not an organization of justice or villainy. It does not seek to save lives, but rather to seek the true potential of today. It's goal is to protect the cultural advancements, economic achievements and military milestones of those who are too weak and unreliable to defend themselves. It spares innocent civilians from any idiocy of their fickle leaders, it ensures the sheer existence of the most insignificant of peoples. That is the purpose of this organization; EDDA's one and only goal is to ensure the growth of people and thus the overall potential of the human race.
Our belief revolves around that each and every life that could be saved should be saved, but that life in turn is in gratitude to such an action. One who is spared from Death's scythe should only be willing to give up a portion of his remaining life to repaying such an enormous debt, and thus upon this ideal we do what we can. After all, military campaigns cost money. Protection requires manpower, cash, support, civilian acknowledgment, political and corporate backing - all of this is simply a waste if what we gained were not outweighing what we have lost. There is no logical reasoning in saving civilians from war or keeping refugees when they are unwilling to give back to the community that so willingly keeps them. Such an ideal transcends mere peons of the person, but towards that of the religion, the country, and the empire itself. No country is beyond salvation, but the price must equate to allow some sort of profit for the one providing salvation.
Each year, each month, each week, each day, war is waged, and no one benefits. The arms market and the arms manufacturing market benefits, but in the end, the net profit is negative. Farmable and build able land is rendered useless and flaming with chemical by-products, youth from all generations capable of high technological potential are sent to their deaths, buildings of high tourist revenue are demolished, statues and monuments resembling high parity purchasing power are scrapped. Trade routes are cut off, and companies, licking their wounds of war, move elsewhere, forever avoiding such a nation, increasing overhead reconstruction, relocation, billing and administration costs. In the end, war drains too much, and that is our motivation.
After all, simplicity fetches a high price on the market nowadays, and bliss is a luxury many cannot afford, nor do they deserve to.
OUR PURPOSE
The Envoltura del Diablo Alliance, translated, roughly comes to Devil's Sheath. That is what we simply are; a sheath. We are not ones who will stomp out injustice or eliminate enemies, but rather we are ones who will curb the tide of inefficient wrongdoings towards a more proficient tomorrow. The main focus, and only focus, of the Envoltura del Diablo Alliance to make good use of war by even the peaceful and the righteous. As such, our activities revolve around peacekeeping and acceptance of refugees as well as protection of fellow members. Our laws are straightforward, harsh, and created to inspire discipline within other nations.
The EDDA will regularly partake within taking in peoples from war, famine, oppression and disease, accepting them within our borders at our own cost. The EDDA is to have co-operation between their members and, regardless of the members' actions and political stance, to accept their actions as independent of the organization. On the other hand, the EDDA will also respect the sovereignty of any nation within this organization's umbrella of involvement and influence. As such, our goal is to maximize the acceptance of refugees, minimize the damage to infrastructure, and overall prevent the growing market of useless war machines that lead to excessive and useless arms races. In other terms, we are peace keepers who expect compensation in the form of prosperity. We are the Samaritans who aren't. Our actions, open and true, have motives that in the end, benefit us and only us, as our greatest priority. Our goal is to protect what could be beneficial to economic strength.
CHARTER
Clause I: Warfare

BASIC GOALS:
-Peacekeeping throughout the world
-The respect of national sovereignty of other nations
-The acceptance of refugees
-The overall benefit towards all involved in regards to economic infrastructure
OOC: If you have any questions, please ask. The alliance pretty is to prevent war as much as possible since it damages economy quite a bit if prolonged. And for Force Projection, it pretty much means starting a war or invading, if you guys aren't familiar with it.
