when you join,if attacked the attacker will be demolished.So,with that being said joining NATO would mean being ready for war at any given time.Even though its unlikely anyone will mess with us.After all this is a war game.First will negotiate diplomatically then if we get a refusal we'll attack the hell out of the player and/or his alliance.Any questions?just reply or message me in game.http://tournament.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=1001699I can also give tips.
