The Apolyton Alliance (awaiting name)

[Drogue]

Since the collapse of ODSN, there is not longer an alliance capable of defending the region. Moreover, Myself and Giovanni Wine, King of Wine, decided to start an alliance. This has been discussed and put into place over the last week or so, and now I am here to announce it. While we do not have a name, the alliance is now operational.

The Alliance is purely for legitimacy and defence. There are only 3 instances that can bring this alliance into action. The first is if a nation in the alliance is subject to an unprovoked attack. The second is to enforce a legitimate court verdict, where both parties agreed beforehand. The third is if Apolyton region is attacked by an outside source, the alliance will defend the region. These are the only cases in which it will come into action.

Because we wish to have an alliance of like-minded, non-aggressive nations, who we have good relations with, and can trust, this alliance is invitation only. If you wish to be considered, please PM myself or Giovanni, and we will discuss it with all member nations.

Member nations are (in order of acceptance):

• Akiria
• Wine
• Eternal Cold
• Admaria
• Rotaria
• Jackson
• Unterhammer
• Redfern
• Mad Capitan
• Tea Kaygia
• Noosland
• Zetaris

As we still need a name, can anyone please suggest names

Thank you

Marko's Hammer, Dan's Spear

Seriously, what about Aegis? Aegis is the shield of Athena, the Greek goddess of Combat, Victory, and Wisdom?

[Drogue]

Possibly, although not so sure about having it named after a shield with Medusa's head on it, especially one which has an American naval vessel named after it, but the Aegis Alliance sounds pretty sweet.

What do people think?

[Drogue]

The Hammer of Markos could be good Or "The Hammer of the Mighty Grecian Warrior", or even, owning to the fact that it enforces the legitimacy of the court, and has 3 judges who are members, "The Hammer of Justice"?

IIRC, the AEGIS is a system on certain US crusiers and destroyers that give them enchanced capabilities to intercept incoming missiles. It is a defensive system, that's why it's named AEGIS.

As for the Medusa's head, don't worry, we're just facing it outward.

Uberlandia has been skeptical about alliances and the commitments it necessitates, but the leaders have decided that this Apolyton Alliance is a worthy organization. We humbly request entrance.

[CapitanGarlic]

Mind you, a motto will be required as well once a name is settled upon.

Personally, I find Ageis to be a bit lacking as the name of an alliance, unless it is an acronym.

I dont like Aegis as a name for the alliance.
Cant really think of anything at the moment expect for Apolyton Alliance.

[Giovanni Wine]

So are we going to call it: Apolyton Aegis Alliance then?

Personally I like it very much

A bit boring IMHO, and Apolyton Alliance would imply all of Apolyton, which it is not. I quite like the Hammer of Justice, or something to do with Markos/Dan, or even something Civ related.

If we support justice, and prevent war, how about "The Collective Consciousness"? Also SMAC related (to Akizeta, who happens to be Akiria's leader )

[Jack_www]

I would like a name along the lines of something that is civ related, since we all love Civ games.

The foreign minister of Iguana Fire expresses an interest in this alliance to preserve democracy in the region.

[Urban Ranger]

What about "The Drunken Fist?"

[Drogue]

Love it UR
