The Zion Pact was formed by Sephirus long ago as a "Plan Z" for world events. With the understanding that the world might be seriously split, with evil forces rising up to dominate and destroy the forces and powers of good in an apocalyptic scenario, Sephirus rallied its allies and prominent nations in an attempt to counter that threat. A corollary of this nature is that it is in the best interest of all Zion Pact nations for the fellow nations to be continuously provided for and defended against aggressors. This seems to be the best policy as the loss of one nation of so few would be a tremendous blow to the strength of the 'ZP'. It should be clear that, as much as the Zion Pact has its roots in the concept of Zion, a renewed kingdom of good amidst the evil, it is not a religious or ethnic collection. Zion is the Plan Z for the nations of the world and the Zion Pact is the Plan Z for the world.

The last roster of honored members included many great nations, specifically chosen and allowed admission based on their ability to call upon nations and to serve as rallying points for like-minded nations. Each able to stand strong apart, together they would be a bastion against the rise of evil.

The Honored Roster:

In the end, internal debates over the role of the Zion Pact, the conditions under which it would be called to action, and the divergent policies of the member nations weakened the Pact until it was effectively defunct (OOCly, different nations pursued different and mutually exclusive storylines and eventually the ZP just faded out of existence). It should be noted that before the Zion Pact faded into the past, other prominent nations, such as Menelmacar were considering membership or were considered for admission to the Pact although no other significant additions were made to the roster.

Because the Zion Pact was never officially disbanded, it is belived that the member nations might still one day join forces to combat the foreseen threats that it was specifically designed to combat.
