[center][img]http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz87/kylesmithcpac/CPACflag.png[/img][/center] Hello everyone! I’m pleased to be here today announcing the existence of Conservative Politically Allied Countries. Founded on September 1st, CPAC has been working very hard through recruiting to hit the 20 member mark before declaring its existence. That day was long ago... Today, I’m finally getting around to declaring. Our Charter: [Quote] Article I- Mission The nations of the Conservative Politically Allied Countries (CPAC) band together in the names of mutual defense, mutual prosperity, and mutual satisfaction in order to expand our ideas and objectives in the Planet Bob. Article II- Membership Any nation that desires to uphold the aforementioned values and commits to defending, aiding, and otherwise helping to benefit the alliance as a whole will be granted membership into CPAC. Upon being granted membership, new nations have five days to change team color to white team, change alliance affiliation to Conservative Political Allied Countries, and submit information into any topic that so states a requirement. Membership can be stripped if a nation has been found to have committed espionage, endangered the alliance in any way, or have committed heinous crimes against a fellow member. Stripping membership shall require a unanimous decision by the Conclave and must be decided within three days of being informed of any transgression. Article III- Government The government of CPAC shall be in the form of a Triumvirate council henceforth known as the Conclave. The Conclave members will serve life terms or until either retirement or impeachment. The first Triumvirate shall be charged with the alliances foreign affairs. It will be his duty to create a safe environment for the alliance politically and economically in the Planet Bob. The Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs has the power to write and submit treaties to the alliance which will be discussed and acted upon by the Conclave. The Triumvirate also has the ability to retain a deputy to help fulfill these duties. The second Triumvirate shall be charged with setting up and maintaining an adequate state of military and defensive readiness. The Triumvirate of Defense shall set a military standard and is charged with creating and maintaining an Alliance Defense Fund that shall help grow and repair nations so that the alliance will always be ready for any defensive or offensive action. The Triumvirate also has the ability to retain a deputy to help fulfill these duties. The third Triumvirate shall be charged with the growth of the alliance. The Triumvirate of Growth will create and maintain a recruitment, education, and development system for the alliance. The Triumvirate also has the ability to retain a deputy to help fulfill these duties. As stated before, all Conclave members will serve life terms. If any need for impeachment from office is deemed necessary, it requires a unanimous vote from the other two triumvirates. At any time that the Conclave should require advice on any issue, it has the right to create an Advisory Council that will deliberate on the matter and give a recommendation to the Conclave. This council can be created and abolished at the will of the Conclave. Article IV- War War can only be declared by a unanimous Conclave decision. It is then the duty of the Triumvirate of Defense to put in place a course of action that will allow the alliance the best chance of success. It is the duty of the Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs to ensure peace or spoils of war when the war has finished its course. Article V- Nuclear Strike Policy It will be the policy of CPAC to not allow any nuclear first-strikes unless otherwise approved by the Conclave and then ordered by the Triumvirate of Defense and only the Triumvirate of Defense. The stockpiling of nuclear weapons to be used in retaliation or deterrence is both allowed and promoted by this Charter. Article VI- Espionage Espionage will not be allowed under this Charter. Article VII- Amendment This Charter can be amended by a Unanimous vote by the Conclave or a majority vote by a special advisory board that is charged with deliberating and deciding on any proposed amendments.[/Quote] Our Government: [list] [*]Kyle Smith, Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs [*]Millhouse, Triumvirate of Defense [*]epilitimus, Triumvirate of Growth [/list] Forums: http://cpac.b1.jcink.com IRC channel: #CPAC on coldfront.net Current Treaties: [list] [*]CPAC-TCU PIAT [*]IAA Protectorate [/list] I’d like to invite anyone that is interested in relations with CPAC to visit our forums and I’d be happy to get you set up with an embassy. For those of you that are interested, we’re protected by IAA as stated here… http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=72740 Special thanks go out to SSSW18, though they don’t exist anymore, for being CPAC’s first protectors. Also, a very special thanks goes out to Raithen for designing and donating our flag to us. It's pretty much amazing.

I fully support this motion, but only if it resembles Lazy Scranton.

Things have changed a lot my friend. It's quite unfortunate to see what has happened at TPF and, personally, I'm thankful that my former alliance left OPP when it did, though the circumstances were not excellent for either TPF or my alliance. While I'm grateful for the protection TPF provided that alliance with, reading what you state occurred in July, I'm very happy that I never had to participate in being informed of this, if I would have been informed at all. This is the first topic I've read all the way through in a very long time. I appreciate the fact that everyone has remained civil throughout the discussion. I get awfully tired of reading what basically amounts to "no u" for 10-15 pages. Great work Toku. I'll continue to read on.

Thanks for all the support everyone! It's good to see some solid support for our two alliances. Also, Classical Liberalism ftw. None of this American Liberalism (Democratic Socialism) stuff... but that's neither here nor there.

Toku, you never fail to leave the reader wondering what will happen next...

CPAC only has 2 Triums at this time. We're working on getting our third as I type this. We're a fairly new alliance and the two that signed are the founders. Hope this helps.

The Conservative Treaty Preamble: The alliances of The Conservative Underground (TCU) and the Conservative Politically Allied Countries (CPAC) agree that Conservatives are cool. Article I. Conserving the Peace All Conservatives agree that any alliance that openly declares its Conservativeness shall be treated as a sovereign alliance, and no conservative alliance shall engage in hostile actions against it. Article II. Conserving the Intelligence All knowledge held by a single Conservative pertaining to the ideals of Conservativism or another Conservative alliance shall be knowledge held by all Conservatives. Article III. Conserving the Budget All Conservatives agree that Conservatives are awesome. To enhance that awesomeness, they pledge to only bail out other Conservative economies. Article IV. Liberating the Treaty All Conservatives agree that Liberals suck. And so does liberating people from their unwanted bonds. So, if a Conservative alliance wishes to denounce Conservativism, it must give the other Conservative alliance a 72-hour notice before becoming Liberal scum. Signed for CPAC: Kyle Smith, Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs Millhouse, Triumvirate of Defense Signed for TCU: Commander Cato, Governor of TCU PanzerVII, Lieutenant Governor UnholyPrior, Director of Internal Affairs ChickenPox, Chief Advisor I'm very happy to announce the friendship between TCU and CPAC and hope that CPAC will grow in a way that in the future, this PIAT can be upgraded. o/ CPAC o/ TCU EDIT: Fixed the case of the disappearing flag...

Congratulations on this treaty TOOL and STA! Glad to see a relationship being forged between you two. Also, Tyga: Your avatar is quite distracting. On the average, it is taking me 30 seconds longer to read a topic you post in. Thanks for helping me burn another 30+ seconds per day.

Dear DT and IAA, Congratulations! (it just took me three tries to spell that right, don't judge me) Here's to the best [thinly veiled threat] DT, if you hurt IAA, I will find you. When I do, I probably won't do anything about it... So yeah. [/thinly veiled threat] o/ IAA o/ DT

Is it "Citrust" or "Citrus"? If it's the first, I commend you on creating a pretty epic treaty title. Regardless, this is unfortunate to see, here's to the best for both alliances in the future.

Congratulations folks, here's to the best for you in the future.

I kid you not, I just used "Also, hello" without even realizing it. Just made my night.

I bound to agree with this due to my love of the movie "Cool Hand Luke." Not to mention it seems like this is the situation. Hope this all works out in the end.

I'm not going to lie to you. I'm very happy that I took part in this conversation and am quite honored that it's included here, though my feelings on the circumstances are quite different.

Congratulations you guys. I've got to say... I love that flag. It's pretty epic.

This is definitely the truth... I have some great people in my current alliance which, by definition, is a micro alliance since we're under 150,000 NS. By starting in a micro alliance, I feel that people are more likely to feel as a part of the "family" and act for the greater good of the alliance. In a micro alliance, there's a higher chance that you'll be known by your name as opposed to "just some guy in the AA".

Very sorry to hear about this. Best of luck to all of your members in the future... (insert Dead On Arrival joke here... too lazy to think of one myself) o/ DOA

Honestly, it depends on how you want to define "minority". If you want to define it solely based on number of people, then yes, 180-200k nations are definitely the minority. If you do it based upon percentage of people, then I've got to say that 0-20k is more than likely the minority. Example (numbers purely for example purposes and probably nowhere near accurate): Say 5 of 9 nations of 180-200k NS are active and 7500 of 20000 nations 0-20k NS are active. Numbers: 180-200k nations are definitely the minority as 5<7500 Percentage: 0-20K nations are the minority as 55.5%>37.5% For this poll, I took the percentage approach, therefore selecting 0-20k.

This is very unfortunate. I know what it's like to have this RL thing, whatever it might be, take over and lead an alliance to collapse. I sincerely hope that your members find a new home.

EDIT: Huh... got a surprise, we're already on here. ...GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

Great work you two! Good to see two alliances coming together! o/IAA

I want to thank IAA for carrying over the protection of CPAC when SSSW18 disbanded. They've been nothing but helpful up to this point and I'm sure that a great relationship will grow in the future. Kyle Smith Triumvirate of Foreign Affairs Conservative Politically Allied Countries

My response to this: Exactly. No, but seriously. He thought that because three alliances worked together to attack another alliance during the Karma war, FoB if I remember correctly, that we broke off from the rest of the OPP group and attacked FoB's flank. And there you have it, the triple break off flank attack.

Yes, this is his claim to fame. I'm so proud my alliance was a part of this maneuver he so perfectly designed. Oh yeah, did I mention that we got our rear ends kicked...
