Is anyone familiar with any of these?

I've heard of Metamorphosis, UCR, and the Southern Union.

If half the alliances that are inactive and going nowhere disbanded, this game would be better off.

Why do you feel that way? I'm curious, if only because I believe the exact opposite. Perhaps it's from being in a lot of smaller alliances, but I feel that the game would be better off if there were more small alliances and far fewer large ones. This allows people to form communities which are directly related to their interests, rather than being absorbed into a large body of faceless members in an alliance which probably doesn't represent them as individuals. Smaller alliances also seem to encourage people to be a lot friendlier, as they can't just be idiots and then hide behind the shield of a huge alliance to protect them.
