i wouldn't really describe NAO as an alliance, atleast not yet,
To reach that here are changed that need to be made:
1. Appoint govt by their skill rather than offering a random job to a random person to get them to join the alliance (as i believe you were giving away govt positions at first)
2. Unite under a single colour
3. Put in place a building guide
4. Manage your members... (Patton who is your what? 2nd in command continued attacking an alliance that peace was agreed with)
You are ranked 10th for the sole reason of number of nations even though Citadel, Cath, MH and WD are stronger NS than you, and we all know NS is worth more than numbers.
As for NDO declaring on you while at war... off the top of my head they put up their DoW before you (i may have it mixed up) and they declared war on SUN at the same time and with SUNs NS at the time i would imagine if anything they were Updeclaring :smug: .
Good luck either way NDO but all i see is a bloodbath ahead for you :war:
