Corporations are not the same as alliances. Corporations inherit debt, alliances are agreements to defend each other (not take on each others' debt). Looks like chaosclanlord needs to look in a dictionary.
Here's a real life example for those who can't think for themselves. Let's say France sells cars to Russia. Russia sends the money but France disappears from existence! Gone!...it is no longer there (France is a great lake now). Does Russia go to the United States saying "You were allies, you owe us X amount of cars. We sent the money to France last week." .....now what do you think the U.S. would say? Let me help you chaosclanlord. The U.S. would say "HAHAHA...you're kidding right?...you're not? Well sucks to be you. We're allies, not their banker."
Same goes to CN. Now, once again, this would be negated if there was a prior agreement to guarantee the tech from the alliance...but there wasn't. Once again, chaos, anson, etc. ...MEDIEVAL THINKING.

When United States takes the cars/money/etc from the now non-existent france, yes, it would be them paying the bill. (or risking a global conflict)
