Validus Foedus

From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.

Validus Foedus is a military alliance in The Lexicon. Founded out of the ashes of the LSP it was re-structured to cope with the departure of founding member Saint Oz. It was seen in many eyes as The Lexicon's premier military alliance, and takes a very pro-Capitalist, pro-imperialist and anti-commmunist view of Lexiconian affairs.

History

Born out of the ashes of the LSP the VF could easily have suffered the same fate as the MDP. However more cross alliance unity has kept it together and it has been involved in several international operations since, although nothing on the scale of The Great Lexicon War.

The Utopia Crisis

Main Article:The Utopia Crisis

The Utopia crisis thrust into the lime light the staunchly anti-communist nature of the Validus Foedus pact. Following the foundation of the Socialist Axis, a grouping of Lexiconian socialist nations, the capitalist ACN, consisting of several VF members along with other capitalistic nations such as Squerrelly and Stellaris was formed. Eventually the ACN merged with the VF and it's members were amongst the most outspoken proponents of taking up arms to deter the SA's Utopia project, a project to construct a base for SA operations with joint sovereignity. The VF accused the SA of building a military base from which to support revoloutions against capitalistic nations, this was countered by the SA by the statement that the military there was only for defense. Fleets, including nuclear missiles, were deployed to the theatre and war was avoided by only a hair's breadth. Eventually the situation cooled due to other international issues, however the issue itself has not gone away.
