Nivenia is looking for an alliance to join. Unfortunately, I am a newb who is too lazy to wait for the inevitable invitation, nor look for the proper place for this post if this is not. I have searched about, and learned the Citadel Trading Company does not tend to get into wars, and more importantly, when it does it allows it's younger members time to arm themselves before forcing them onto the front lines. Just one among many reasons, but I'm sure you will all understand a good one.
