You guys are right honestly. I used to play a few years ago and actually ran my own alliance, The Union of Nations. We got to about twenty members and helped found a micro alliance bloc he Coalition of Micro Alliances(CoMA) until internal strife tore us apart. I did pretty good managing the allaiance bit that was years ago. I kind of just jumped back in expecting it to be like it used to be but obviously I've forgotten how the game really works. I don't even have forums set up for God's sake or any charter. Or like you said an official DoE. I guess I was just fishing for other Confederate themed nations to band together, but yeah this definitely probably isn't going anywhere but who knows. I'll probably join an actual alliance in a week haha
