The Sapphire Alliance is an alliance that is devoted to the upkeeping of freedom to all peoples, and the upkeeping of peace in warring nations. It is not a primarily militaristic alliance, but mainly a financial and physical aid alliance, with military strength being used as a last resort.

We in the Royal Palace Of BHR take this alliance as stupid. Coming from a communist background we officially spit in your face. Being dumb enough to create an alliance like like you deserve it and also are officially being called retards.

Why does it matter who I am?
"President" Rav

We wish to congratulate your nation on being able to spell "retard", and will remind you that you obviously have not read the stickies on the top of the forum that refer to such things as "flaming" and the use of insults against other players.
I give you this one warning to delete your post. Next time, I will inform the moderators.

The Democratic Empire, not really caring enough to join, will donate one million Universal Standard Dollars a year to the Sapphire Alliance for humanitarian purposes only.

OOC: ...He made an IC post. It is fine, he is saying how he hates the alliance. If he made that post OOC, though, it could be different. BHR can keep that post up, saying how he condemns the alliance, there is no problem with it.

We thank Vontanas for the donation.

OOC: i know this is nitpicking, but it's the Holy Empire of Lord Sumguy, not just Sumguy.

yes, i am bored.

OOC: I was just going to say that.

Ralph Fin MPP
Officer of Alliance and Pacts

We wish to inquire as to the nature of this alliance.

How much of a donation would be required if a full member?
Who would amke the decisions.
It is an alliance that will be thoroughly active and beneficial.

As you are one of our closest neighbours in Nova, how would this affect us if we were to join?

Membership donation requirements are not "set" as it were, but are to be "reasonable" when called upon.

Also, an elected council will be in charge once we reach ten members. Until then, the alliance will be controlled by me, with consultation with the other members.

Hopefully, it will be thoroughly active once we have enough members. Until then, it will remain inactive.

OOC: Alfegos, perhaps you would be interested in this: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13137531#post13137531

We have applied to join the GOOD consortium.

I thought there would be a bit more interest in this. But BUMP it is.

Official Abrahamic League Statement:

The Abrahamic League, while not technically a government in control of any land mass, weilds more power than many small nations and wishes to apply for membership to the Sapphire Alliance so as to better be able to protect and suport the alliance's members.

-The Rt. Rev. George Claxton, Archbishop of Sumguaia

We accept the Abrahamic league into the arms of our alliance, as a member organisation, and hope that this will help towards our goal of providing humanitarian aid when needed.

December cleanup bump - Anyone interested?

Ah, another alliance. I'm pleased to see good guys for once...but I'll stick with the ADAN for now.
