01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance

Alliance Regions

Our Role in Nationstates

Regional Flag and Emblem of the 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance

We want to expand as a regional alliance but this is purely for cultural reasons, we regard ourselves as the largest and only Alliance of Greek, Roman and Byzantine regions in Nationstates. The founder of our capital region (Nationstates Nation name: Byzantine Glory) is a dual English and Greek speaker.

We regard ourselves as a regional Alliance block that seeks to gain members to enrich the knowledge and activity of our regions, as we as spread Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history and culture through Nationstates.

We are purely peaceful (and we support the Defender Security Alliance or Alliance Defence network to defend weaker regions), despite our appearances our regional alliance is completely neutral to both invaders and defenders as we can be in the Alliance Defence Network.

Relationships with other sites

We are happy to have a relationship with other fan sites of Greek, Roman or Byzantine culture and history. Many of our regional members either live in Greece or have visited there, and a few have been to Italy and Turkey as well.

Our Imperator

The Imperator of the 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance is affectionately known as BG but is formally known as Byzantine Glory, he likes to have his way but is willing to negotiate (and doesn't eject people for the fun of it) and likes the alliance to be democratic and free. His favourite NS activities are seeing the Alliance growth, and the 01 ERE Blogspot among other things. He is not a militaristic person, so invaders should stay clear of bribery, as BG will never allow us to become an invader region.

10 Tips when talking to BG:

1) Don't be up yourself, he won't buy it 2) Tell him when acting to something (before you do anything drastic) 3) Don't call him a dictator or an Emperor 4) Flatter him, as it was said "everyone likes flattery, but when you come to royalty lay it on with a trowel!" 5) Find random fun sites for him to look at (and take part in his) 6) No one has been really banned from the 01 ERE Alliance yet (but watch out spies, he usually meets his mark!) 7) Show your knowledge of Greek, Roman and Byzantine history and culture and he will like you more 8) Talk about interesting and relevant things in your past to resolve problems when you discuss with him 9) Recruit and he will value you a lot more 10) Try to understand that BG never acts in a way to insult other regions (so if we insult you we don't mean it!)

Activity in the 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance

We are happy to work round the hours of our members but many have not yet got the message, activity is a problem in our region (but enthuasism is not!). We hope that through continued telegraming and the new Role Play forum that people will visit and involve themselves in our regions activities. Members only need to ask and take part as we are friendly and don't bite. For some activties that are not taking place eg. Role Playing there are members like Rogernomics or Athanasius Ilius who have experience with Role Playing.

Religion in the 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance

We only sometimes practice ancient religion such as the Olympian Gods, but this is more in a Role Play context. We do not make attempts to practice any modern religion such as Christianity (which was prominent in the late Roman Empire and in the Byzantine Empire).

This is because attempting to carry out an interpretation can be insulting to religious people if done incorrectly. Also to follow one religion would mean excluding Islam and other religions and therefore discriminate against those who do not follow the Christian religion.

01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance Neutrality Agreement

The revised 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance Neutrality Agreement

I) Declares itself neutral except when protecting itself, or its declared allies.

II) I)Declares that it will not search out regions to 'liberate'. But will only use its military for self defence, or for defending previously declared allies.

II) II) We will not become allies purely for the purpose 'liberating' a region.

II) III) The legislature must vote to approve any alliances, and it is here stated as the intent of this august body not to abuse this power for the skewed purposes of the military industrial complex.

III) Friendly relations are allowed with all regions so long as they do not violate ADN or 01 Eastern Roman Empire rulings.

IV) If any region declares war on the 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance neutrality with that region shall still be maintained.

V) Any attempt to subvert this doctrine shall be viewed as a serious infraction against the laws of 01 ERE, and is to be referred to the Magistratus Extraodinarii.
