This is a page serving as a dedicated record of the in-character historical massive military alliances of the NWR regions. The NWR regions have not had an OOC alliance since 2003 - though they offer nomial support to all Defender alliances (and informal support to region crashers whocodify attack n00bs, trolls, spammers and griefers.

United Nations

After the founding of the Middle East region the United Nations was the first massive military alliance to grace the NWR. UN nations would act in defence of each other, and act proactively to uphold the "Fight the Axis of Evil" resolution. The UN came into being as a major power in the forming NWR midway through 2003 with a reform spearheaded by Nag Ehgoeg to end "endorsement swapping" and codify the UN as an in-character alliance rather than a metagaming device. During 2004, most powerful NWR nations in the UN retired from the organisation and it faded into obscurity.

While the UN exists currently within the NWR, Resolutions are largely ignored IC, and UN nations feel no obligation to come to the aid of each other in times of war.

European Peace Council

The European Peace Counicl (To be later renamed Federation for European Peace) was founded May 2, 2005 and was the first real military alliance within the NWR. Created by Morracon and TheNeoRomanEmpire the alliance was seen as a means of ending conflict throughout Europe and preserving regional peace. It was the first alliance of it's kinda to involve a grand total of ten nations at it's height. It was the major power block in Europe and the NWR.

The Holy League, which was established after the European Peace Council, was created due to the fact that the European Peace Council rejected Catholic Europe's request to enter the council. Though the Holy League would go on to out last the European Peace Council it should be noted that it was the European Peace Council which prompted The Holy League's creation.

Baghdad Pact

The (orginal) Baghdad Pact was founded in April 2006 as an alliance between the some of the NWR's most powerful nations, spearheaded by Paradise - a nation with the most powerful military in the NWR (and in the top ten nations for Defence in NS). The BP was seen being founded in direct opposition to the Christian Holy League (see below) and owing economic backing of the OPEMEC (to which BP members also belonged to) it was seen as a massive threat to the rest of the world. The BP was persistently lobbied by the international community to limit their power (see IFP below) before eventually disbanding (leading to the later formation of the Muslim Brotherhood and New Baghdad Pact).

International Freedom Pact

The IFP was founded on March 12th 2006 as "a counter to Baghdad Aggression". The IFP was founded to serve as a "third party" counterweight between the BP and Holy League - pledging to come to the defence of any party aggressed against by a massive military alliance. As the BP was widely seen as being founded specifically to strike at the Holy League, the IFP was widely seen as being an ally of the Holy League rather than a neutral third party.

The IFP was disbanded on June 5th 2006 with the disolution of the BP.

The Holy League

Discounting the United Nations (which was meta-founded owing to being built into the NationStates game) the Holy League was the longest standing and argueably the most powerful massive military alliance of the NWR. Founded May 23, 2005, The Holy League served as the allies and protectorates of Catholic Europe and was one of the most powerful alliances of the NWR (despite having an appalling offensive military history - the Holy League was believed to never have won a major war).

The Holy League offically disbanded on March 19th 2007 by Catholic Europe. Vague plans were made to incorporate Holy League nations into the Orthodox church and/or form a new Catholic Alliance headed by New Harumf but these have widely been abandoned.
