The Zigur Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) THIS DAY IN REVOLUTION 03SEP16 EDITION Comrades, Imperators, Friends. Our alliance is distinguished because of our unique purpose in this world. Many alliances are indistinguishable from one another because they are groups of people united only by friendships and similar interests. Most of the time, what little ideological purpose they have is defined by either "friends > infra" or "infra > friends" foreign affairs patterns. This means that major policy decisions are typically driven by oligarchs who rely on networks of politically active officials in other alliances. It is, essentially, a globalist plutocracy that is the political driving force for most alliances. As a result, the needs of the mass membership in many alliances play a secondary role to the interest of oligarchs. This is, according to Producerism, a defining characteristic of pre-Revolutionary alliances abroad. Social value in such alliances relies not on production, but rather, being cool in the eyes of foreign alliance leaders. The leadership is effectively severed socially from the membership. From the perspective of exploitation, this takes an even more urgent form, as alliance leaders abroad are typically larger, older nations that exploit new nations kept deliberately ignorant of their value as tech producers. Thus high-tier alliance leaders collude across major alliances to suppress the growth and compensation of new nations. The negative effects of such policy is apparent when reviewing the statistics and nations of the majority of alliance affiliations. Low aid slot activity, large proportions of 1 week + inactive nations, and poor nation-building is visibly apparent. Weak lower-tiers and bloated upper-tiers exist on a massive scale. What sets our Imperium apart is that, as a post-Revolutionary alliance, the leadership and membership are an organic whole... the leadership being the brains, the bureaucracy the nervous system, and the membership the limbs of the alliance. It is a lean and efficient system, with all parts of the alliance receiving the nourishment needed to grow in strength and ability. As a result, the Imperium has consistently defeated the attacks of plutocratic alliances and their lower-tier mercenaries. We have not been afraid to compress our nation-strength into the lower and middle levels, placing us out of the reach of an adversary's strongest nations and concentrating our strength against their weakest tiers. By controlling our growth and directing it towards military-first development, we provide an increased deterrent to trivial attacks, meaning that our enemies need to form massive coalitions to attack us. This expenditure of effort is usually not worth it against a determined military force such as our own, especially since we are not aggressive in nature. As a matter of willpower, enemy nations do not have the drive to destroy us for no reason, while we fight for our right to exist as a free and independent alliance. We exist and fight to defend the unique vestiges of a civilization never developed by most of the internet. The advanced social and cultural development growing out of 2003 !@#$%* Revolution is forgotten by most alliances, but remembered here. The Casus Belli, alliance sovereignty, and clearly defined treaties are upheld as sacred traditions here, as they once were among the majority of Cybernations alliances. The defense of the remnants of a once great civilization spanning tens of thousands of nations is something we can be proud of. Philosophy, history and culture are embraced and not dismissed as meaningless here. As a result, we have held back the barbarism, degeneration and chaos that has beset most of Cybernations.

The Zigur Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light. For the wretched of the earth There is a flame that never dies. Even the darkest night will end And the sun will rise. We will live again in freedom In the lands of the Imperium. We will walk behind the plough-share, We will put away the sword. The chain will be broken, And all Nations will have their reward. Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums? It is the future that they bring When tomorrow comes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowingfire Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm impressed. Congratulations on being the first alliance to send a recruitment letter to my first new nation in like 5 years, RainbowKitten. (Galerion gets credit for this one, like 10 minutes after I signed up.) And, Junka - I am quite pleasantly surprised to see you here. I need a tech circle, help to grow, and the ability to actually play this thing in an interesting way and not sit around in an annoyingly impenetrable bloc incessantly collecting infra and tech. Is there still an element of the fifth column? If so, you may have a recruit. Let me know. -FF, intending to be a CN badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zigur Posted December 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Comrades, the voices of the fallen Nations Those who fell that the Imperium might be Great Join in our song, for they still march in spirit with us And urge us on to build the Producerist state! They have spilled their blood, and we share their spirit, Sprung from the brown team, for whom they bled Against the Plutocracy, and massed ranks of reaction Against numbers uncounted our armies have led! The wars are over, the final struggle's ended; Fresh from the fight we sound the battle horn! Over all the Nations the Imperium's banners are waving - Triumphant standards of our alliance reborn!

Emperor Khan Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 A Happy New Year to all potential Imperium recruits! I've come here to warn those of you who may be unaware, that The Deplorables are at war with Supernova X (SNX) and will be for at least the next year (well into 2018 for sure). It should be noted that SNX has totally failed to protect their alliance members from The Deplorables, because quite honestly, when SNX sends their people, they don't send their best, they send hawaiians, rapists and turtles... and as a result, The Deplorables are now reaching levels of winning that shouldn't even be possible!!! So think carefully before joining SNX as you will become a legitimate primary target for the undefeated forces of The Deplorables. This channel will not be monitored.

The Zigur Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 When Supernova X arrived to brown in 2014, our people thought it was a curse. It is the harshest, least stable color team, but it has become the holy land of Cybernations. This team has witnessed countless civil wars and foreign invasions, rogue movements and coup de etats. The brown team is the home of the Imperium. We have embraced it, adapted to our harsh surroundings and have become a persistent, ruthless people. We are free from fear, free from uncertainty, free from doubt, free and secure in the absolute knowledge that we are we and we alone are capable of surviving the hardships of the brown team.

The Zigur Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 The Imperium has fought eight wars since our founding in August 2014. At that time, we were a peaceful democracy newly formed from the merger of four alliances. Our members saw only hope and a new beginning, a chance for peace and prosperity in our future. Within four months, our optimism was shattered. The Doom War began, triggered by the wickedness of our enemies and the incompetence of our government. More than 100 nations were lost; our people were horrified by the merciless aggression of our enemies. Since then, our hope has been replaced with hatred. A burning hatred against slavery and exploitation, a hatred that will incinerate all those who deny us our right to exist. Never again will we bow before them, never again will we bow before their oppression, never again will we bow before their tyranny. Eight wars have passed since our foundation, six since our Revolution. Each of our enemies learned that the Imperium would not be destroyed so easily. To join us requires more than mere mere activity, more than simply logging in. Can you stand next to your comrades for months at a time against the worst enemies this world has ever seen? http://cn-snx.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Imperium, the mother of heroes? Your blood is the ink of martyrdom You warriors write poems and epics of glory Our enemies number like sand on a beach But the universe cannot count these nations For God is with you and our people Show no mercy to the barbarian invaders They wish to enslave and humiliate the Imperium Protect her and she will be your salvation!

The Zigur Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Revolution requires Revolutionary Theory and Circumstance "We are in the trenches. A great battle is raging to which we can all, in some capacity, play a part. Our most recent conflicts have been with us spearheading the assault against those that have wronged us or our allies. In this instance, we are the targets. Not since the July Revolution have we been subject to an existential defensive war. And for that, we must take heart." - Edward Graceford, during the First War on Terror PART ONE: BACKGROUND In the early years of this world, while Ivan Moldavi won the leadership contest in the New Pacific Order (NPO), it was Vladimir who carried with him the ideology of the August Revolution. His essay, the Meaning of Freedom, laid out for the first time a comprehensive material analysis of Cybernations. He postulated that all nations have a fundamental self-interest derived from their existence, and that this self-interest, when fulfilled, would move the nation forward in social, cultural, and economic development. Perhaps the greatest threat to forward progress has been from nations that do not act according to self-interest. In 2010 as a member of the NPO, I wrote Return of the Lulz, I pondered the return of Lulzists on the global scale and the decaying effect this had on global politics. Vladimir also briefly addressed the decline of political self-interest in two essays titled The Existential Threat. But wasn't it in the self-interest of Mushroom Kingdom and others to suppress the growth of NPO? It was certainly so for the political leadership, but in the end NPO prevailed because of their focus on material analysis. Pacifica's adversaries simply didn't have the ideological focus to compete long-term, and typically wasted resources on frivolous military expeditions. In essence they became purely reactionary forces, driven by fear of NPO resurgence. Pacifica's status as number one alliance today is something every alliance leader should be studying, not only from the perspective of ambition but also survival. We cannot merely react to the situation, we must align ourselves with the ongoing march of history. Battle of Junkagrad, Spring 2016 PART TWO: THE BROWN TEAM Around the same time as the Great July Producerist Revolution in Supernova X, the Libertarian Party of Cybernations (LPCN) was founded by Methrage aka Sephiroth as a means of protecting a loose band of rogues from sanctions that occurred on other teams. While in principle much of the LPCN was a good idea, as the Non Aggression Principle is usually conducive to forward development; in practice the movement lacked any focus on material analysis. If we accept Vladimir's premise that all nations have an inherent material self-interest, then we must deduce that rogue activity is antithetical to civilized development. The destruction caused by Methrage's errant ideology is almost legend today. The Imperium alone fought three wars in defense against his version of the LPCN, and this is not counting other wars involving GATO, Kashmir, and many other alliances. Some of these wars had to do with sanction wars in defense of rogues like Thorgrum, who Sephiroth protected as part of his grudge against Kashmir. Other wars, such as the First War on Terror, began with insane declarations of sovereignty over the Imperium, when he demanded he replace me as leader. Ironically, in the end, I was chosen to replace Sephiroth as Supreme Triumvir of the LPCN. The Victory of the Imperium against irrationality on the micro-political stage mirrored that of Pacifica in macro-politics, shedding light on the validity of Vladimir's earlier analysis. The Libertarian Party of Cybernations is currently discussing this analysis and reforming in the direction of national self-interest, rejecting roguery and emphasizing deterrence and non-aggression. PART THREE: THE WAY FORWARD Several aspects of the modern LPCN should be appealing to small and mid-sized alliances seeking mutual defense while remaining independent from macro-political wars: ODOAP confederation: The LPCN serves as an ODoAP confederation, in which member alliances are able to support each other against rogues and other threats. LPCN alliances are not expected to fight on behalf of other signatories if they feel unable to meaningfully contribute towards a strategic victory. There is no risk of being dragged unwillingly into complicated macro-political conflicts. Coordinated Brown Team voting: The LPCN triumvirate coordinates on senate voting with the objective of electing multiple brown team senators. These senators then coordinate to implement positive economic proposals, while protecting against aggressive sanction wars. Political Stability: The triumvirate is currently composed of Immortan Junka, Rukunu, and Sigrun Vapneir. New triumvirs are selected either by a 2/3 vote or via nomination by a resigning triumvir. This creates a stable bloc environment without sudden radical political changes. Diplomatic Strategy: The LPCN seeks to have individual military treaties across the entire spectrum of the treaty web. This frustrates and complicates the aggressive intentions of potential attackers. It also allows members of the LPCN to chain into macro-political conflicts if it is seen as being necessary to the security of LPCN signatories. But our main goal is to establish long term stability for growth and prosperity. The Libertarian Non-Aggression Principle is a fundamental value of the LPCN. Signatories are asked to not engage in aggressive wars against major alliances without a concrete Casus Belli or treaty activation. In the case of a global conflict, we urge signatories to consider the validity of the original Casus Belli that triggered the war. It is suggested that signatories pursue ODoAPs and MnDoAPs to avoid getting chained into bad wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
