THE VALIDITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS ENTRY IS CONTESTED.

THE GRAND ALLIANCE REGIONAL HISTORY

The Grand Alliance was founded by a Nation named Kursania, Who built this region to become what it is today. Not much later, nations that would become important in the Grand Alliance joined the region such as The C A, Blackback, Topicanan Islands (later became Island Union), and the 13 Colonis. Their first ally - The United Earth Oceans was the start of the Grand Alliance itself, Concosia and others soon followed.

They soon came to know about the region of Gatesville, A nation bent on destroying the UN. They made allies with the raider region of the Dhrama Initative giving them the hope of one day destroying the UN opposers. The Grand Alliance soon became a Democratic region, holding elections on certian matters. Kursania became Prime Minister and Delegate. Tropicanan was the ambassador, and The C.A. the public speaker.

The "Fugliola Scandal" as many locals refer to it occured when a person bearing many nations under the name Fugliola moved in. This created a large hubub and the Fugliolas were all ejected.

Later, they invaded the region of the USA only to meet defeat but then invaded a small region known as Utah and came out victorious. Gatesville soon sent threats to Kusania, prepairing to destroy the Alliance. A password was put into place to keep raiders out.

The growing region had stopped at 23 nations. People became inactive and the region shrank. Then came the UN scandal when Topicanan Islands and Kursania lost their power in the UN. The region went into a nose dive going down to <13 nations. They took off the password and 30+ joined the alliance, including the present day regional delegate Cwaaazy Peopoes, giving the Region the highest population ever at 46 memeber nations. Then once again people became inactive such as Regional leaders C A and 13 Colonis; both were lost. But hope was on the horizon. Island Union (formally Topicanan Islands) and Cwaaazy Peopoes had come to rebuild, but the founder had lost all hope and had left the region leaving it to die. Same did Island Union. Within 2 days of their departure, Cwaaazy Peopoes had become Delegate and has been ever since. Since then Kursania and Island Union have come back and The Grand Alliance is now at 25+ nations strong and are showing yet another growth spirt. Once the region was up and running again, Blackback was elected Prime Minister.

With regional moral at an all time low, a forum was created and for the first time things looked much brighter. The forum now serves as a government center as well as a place to have fun.

Then a plot to take down Gatesville was formulated. Gatesville caught wind of the affair due to a rouge Grand Alliance Nation known as Evenastixe they threatened to invade. Kursania, being the Military Commander, declared martial law and password-protected the region. For a stifling week or so the threat of Gatesville loomed over head and fierce words were exchanged between the two region's leaders. Soon after, the standoff ended and the password was lowered. Then about 3 weeks later he was found to not be a Gatesvillean Agent.

Island Union then started what is the very useful nation of The Grand Alliance Times which covers all the Top stories from that week. The elections have started with a whole new voting system. The Fearless Four are the leaders of the region (Senate(3) and Prime Minister) they are next to the Founder and Delegate in the power status.
