I don't give two hoots about NEW. Never liked them in the first place. I just think it's very poor taste to turn around and attack any of your former treaty partners after a short window and when their pants because you screwed up and got called out. I mean, this IS cybernations and nobody fights each other unless they feel they got the other guy outnumbered so I guess it's honorable.
CPCN and INT are literally the same alliance because the vast majority of people who merged from the other alliances (I forget their names, too lazy to wiki) all ended up leaving in a year anyway. When INT was formed 80-90% of CPCN's current government was put back in power so in the end it was literally a change of name and an extra mil nation strength added.
Now, before INT was formed many ex-LSF members in CPCN from LSF and wanted their freedom so Craig (few other govi's) pushed NV hard to get LSF freedom. Here's a history lesson -> http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=25335 Also, do you know who paid most of the tech for LSF's freedom? You guessed it -- CPCN.
So CPCN (INT) helped give LSF it's freedom after being oppressed and stuck in perma-peace mode for who know's how long and gave them protectorate until they strong enough to stand on their own two feet before giving them a real treaty. So years later LSF goes and start that fiasco with NoR and expects INT to suddenly come flying to their rescue when they screwed up right before MK is about to start that Dave War (I still don't even know what it was about). Any rational alliance would of not taken the obvious bait setup to give the enemy side the initiative, but you know how everyone is around here in regards to name calling when somebody says no.

Also, people don't care about history because the exact same alliances that formed the Hegemony are now pushing to be put back in power. I think it's laughable that people call Mushroom Kingdom evil when half the alliances fighting on NEO-Hegemony's side were fighting for Mushroom Kingdom and now changed sides when it was convenient.
