I figure this is my cue
I have nothing bad to say about any of the alliances that Richard listed in the above post, but I can tell you a little about The Democratic Order.
We have been around for several years and in all that time have remained neutral in every major CN conflict. TDO, as far as I know, is the only neutral alliance on the aqua team so if you are interested in growing your nation in peace and hanging out with some really awesome people I encourage you to check us out.
Our forums are linked in Richard's post, you can also visit our IRC channel on Coldfront at #tdo. Also, feel free to message me if you have any questions at all.
Once again, if you think that neutrality might be for you I highly encourage you to come try it out. If you don't feel that neutrality is right for you at the moment that is fine too, there are plenty of great alliances on the aqua team besides TDO.
