There are some rivalries that have stood the test of time...
David vs Goliath
Mozart vs Salieri
Alexander Hamilton vs Aaron Burr
and for those who play Cyber Nations
Nordreich vs the Socialists
GATO vs NPO
These rivalries, especially the final one, have defined our lives on Cyber Nations. Two Great Wars have been fought because of this rivalry and much of the Cyber Nations community is still recovering from the aftermath of the Third Great War. Sometimes it seems that the fog of war will never be lifted.
However, some see a different way.
Some dare to ask:
What happens when members of the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization and the New Pacific Order decide to set their differences aside and found a new alliance?
What happens when nations from both sides of the Initiative-Aeqis divide decide to work together to create a better future?
Is there a way to exist that allows one to be outside of the conflicting political spheres that dominate Cyber Nations today?
We believe that there is way...
This is why we are proud to announce the creation of the Independent Coalition of Nations (ICON).
(ICON).
And what is ICON? ICON is:
- A new, independent, alliance that will seek out out friends from all spheres of influence without being concerned about whether a particular alliance is pro Initiative, pro Aegis, or neutral.
- An alliance that binds itself to other alliances through treaties of friendship and trust, not aggression.
- An alliance that is open to anyone who wishes to join.
- An alliance in which all members are equal regardless of their length of service in the alliance, previous alliances, or political beliefs.
- An alliance that seeks to exist outside of the Initiative-Aegis divide.
- An alliance that believes that enemies are only friends that it has not made yet.
We are very proud to announce the beginning of this new era and look forward to working with you to secure a brighter future for us all.
Signed
