This is the Director of Recruitment for the GPA speaking, and I am here to tell you what she is all about. For starters...

The Green Protection Agency


That might help you understand what the GPA is, but there is far more to it than the name.

We are a neutral alliance, meaning that we do not interfere with politics. We are dedicated to helping its own members grow in every way possible. Just how do we do that?

  • We are a neutral entity, we have only ever been in one defensive war. This means your money goes towards your growth, not towards your armory.
  • We offer a great community. I can guarantee that you would find our members pleasant.
  • We know economics. With trade rings, tech deals, and advising, we can fix up your nation to achieve efficiency that you could otherwise only dream of.
  • We care. If you are GPA, you are family, there will always be someone to help you out in a tough situation.


This is only the tip of the iceberg, the GPA is something that you can only experience. However I have a wealth of other information available below that might help you get an idea smile.gif

Charter of the Green Protection Agency


Section I - Principles and Purpose

1. Neutrality. The GPA shall pursue friendly, peaceful and impartial conduct toward all other nations and alliances, maintaining a strict stance of political and military neutrality.

2. Sovereignty. All GPA nations have the right to govern their nations’ internal affairs subject to the GPA's Charter, Laws, and Treaties.

3. Protection. The GPA, as an Alliance, has the right and duty to defend against either hostile actions directed at individual members or at the sovereignty of the GPA.

Section II - Governance

1. The GPA shall be governed by an elected President and Vice President who are in charge of the elected Ministers. The Cabinet is comprised of the President, Vice President and the Ministers.

2. The terms of service, method of appointment and responsibilities of the Cabinet shall be defined in GPA Laws.

Section III - Legislation

1. GPA Laws shall consist of The Charter, The Constitution and Treaties of the GPA. The GPA Charter supersedes all other GPA legislation and authority.

2. The membership shall vote for ratification of all GPA Laws and amendments. The President reserves the right to veto Laws and amendments.

3. The President and/or Vice President may amend the Constitution in the event of an emergency. The amendment must be ratified by the membership within 48 hours for it to remain in effect.

4. A Treaty is defined as a written agreement between the GPA and any external alliance or nation which commits the GPA and its Members to a course of action.

Section IV - Membership

1. Membership is a privilege and not a right and as such, the GPA has the right to set any and all conditions for acceptance into and expulsion from the Alliance.

2. All members agree to uphold the Letter and Spirit of all GPA Laws and Principles.

Section V - Foreign Relations

1. The GPA will not enter into any offensive or defensive military agreements with any other Alliance.

2. GPA members will not initiate an offensive war and will not provide materials or funds that benefit one or more parties who are in a state of war, without direct permission from the Minister of Defense or their designee. If military action is used against a GPA member it may immediately retaliate with any military assets except nuclear weapons.

3. Nuclear weapons may only be used in retaliation and only with the approval of the President.

4. GPA encourages interactions between GPA members and non-GPA members that are conducted in an honest, friendly and impartial manner. However, GPA members will not partake in any inter-Alliance politics or issues that do not directly involve the GPA.

Neutrality is a way of life at the GPA, were pleasant to everyone, we buy and sell from everyone, but we don't get dragged into other peoples wars its not the GPA way. So if big politics is what your after then we'll disappoint, but if you want a tight knit community and quick growth we are the alliance for you!

We are an alliance dedicated to peace and prosperity, this however doesn't mean we are easy marks. We are the 15th ranked alliance in the game and our Ministry of Defence works tirelessly to ensure that peace.

Did you know.....

The first mistake most new nations make... is collecting taxes prior to optimizing the nation. Many things play a part in successful tax collections. All this info can be found here, on CN's forum, but who has time to search? Nation optimization, outside of trade agreements, only takes a few minutes.

When you apply for membership at the Green Protection Agency, be sure to ask for help getting the most basic nation settings done right.

Get optimized today!

War! - huh- yeah-
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh

War! – huh – yeah-
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y’all

War! – huh – good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

Ohhh… War! I despise
Because it means destruction’
Of innocent lives

War means tears
to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
and lose their lives

I said - War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
War! It’s an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest in the younger generation
Induction then destruction-
Who wants to die?

Ohhh… War – Good God Y’all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Uh-huh – Yeah - Huh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War! It’s got one friend, that’s the undertaker
War has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life, it can only take it away

War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
Peace Love and Understanding;
tell me, is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way

War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it.
Nothing!

Did you know.....

Finding resource trades is a very important part of your growth, at any stage. So, your a new nation, and you want to search out trades. Do this:

Click "Advanced Search" at the bottom of your nation. Then scroll down to "Advanced Trade Search Panel" You can search for one resource, or more if you wish. One rule for resources though, never double up on trades. Two aluminums do not double their benefits. If you are doubled up on resources, you are wasting a trade slot. Your connected resources should always be an even number.

Becoming a member of the GPA will give you access to our economic guides, which include lists of resources that best fit your nation. smile.gif

Did you know.....

Joining an alliance should be a decision that you make as long as the alliance in question is in line with things that you value. For instance, you probably don't want to join a peaceful alliance if your main reason for playing is to enjoy the war feature, and vice versa. You should never ask an alliance for a signing bonus. Communication with your recruiter should consist of dialogue that establishes a base relationship between you and the prospective alliance. When you have bonded to an alliance, and they to you, then is when you will see that people don't mind giving you some aid. You must give to receive.

Throughout the progress of your nation, you can view your strength changes in a chart. All you have to do is click on 'Charts' at the top of your nation. Not only does this chart track your ups and downs, it also shows you how much of each type of strength you have. As you grow, you'll begin to understand how each category is important, and why.

As a new player, you have many things to think about. “Am I going to be attacked?” “What do I do if I am?” “Am I making the right decisions for my National Religion or Government Type?” And many more.

The Green Protection Agency protects and defends all new members from the day they are accepted into the Alliance. We also have one of the oldest and most comprehensive Training Programs in the game. You will get personalized training, guidance and support. This is very important if you want to learn the game fast and grow your nation quickly.

I hope that you consider joining the GPA. I am sure that you won’t regret it!

Did you know.....

Courtesy goes a long way when you are trying to secure trades. Sending a trade request without taking into consideration if the nation even needs your resources is not very cool. For you to be successful in your quest to achieve a bunch of bonus resources, you must do some homework. Sure, you could spam a lot of nations with this:

"Hey, lets trade"

But don't expect many responses.

Sometimes, letting a nation know what they will gain from your resources will be what is needed to secure a trade. Compliments about their nation also helps. But, remember this, no matter what:

If you decide to drop a trade agreement, give at least 24 hours notice! 48 hours is recommended. Dropping a trade without giving the other guy a chance to find a replacement is not cool. Some consider this enough provocation for war.

So, be smart in your hunt for trades. It's more than just clicking 'Trade' on someone else's nation.

On December 19th of 2008, 7% of all CN nations were in war. And this is a low figure. To those of you who came into this game for the growth aspect AND who also respect that others in the game are free to run their business as they wish, I ask you this:

Why live in a lonely existence that accompanies the AA 'none'? If you believe that you can be impartial yet respectful to others in this game, and want to grow, come join us.

The GPA is a feel-good alliance where you can peacefully form friendly relationships with other people and receive useful economic help.

The GPA is an especially good choice for young nations that want to lead a safe peaceful existence while they learn how to play and become an economic powerhouse.

What the GPA means to me:

1) A great bunch of people to hang out with

2) A commitment to neutrality and a rejection of the "shoot-first" mentality

3) An opportunity to explore and enjoy the nation-building aspects of CN without having to worry about raiders, etc

4) The opportunity to learn from lots of people who know the tricks of nation-building very well (what I learnt at the GPA enabled me to grow a re-created nation from 0 to 3999 infra in just 60 days without donations or gifts).

If that sounds good to you check us out.

Sorry for double posting. I made an account on the GPA's forum, but I still haven't got my activation email and we're 10 hours later now. Did I do something wrong or does it always takes this long?

Nope your ok it does that sometimes! I sent you a pm!

ohh yeah I almost forgot BUMP

Anyway, I think you didn't understood me. My fault. You gave me the link to the GPA's forum, but I already have it and I made an account. The problem is I don't get the activation email. All I get when I go to the forum is the 'You do not have permission to access this page' message. Without an activation email, I think I can't possible activate my account and be able to post on the GPA's forum.

Edit: Nevermind, I filled in the application.... thing wrong. I made a new one, so I guess I'll have to wait till a GPA staff member looks at it.
