Major Alliances
I was trying to map the cultures sand then politics, and I found it hard to do. But then I tried to map the military alliances by looking them up and it seems they are very blurred these days. Looking back at the ol' IR theory there should be a balance of power, but there doesn't seem to be any nations really interested in imposing their will on everyone. There doesn't even seem to be any supreme power there would be a reaction against.
C'mon guys, where's the dickishness of realist foreign policy? (I can't possibly partake in recwars because I am terrible in them. I need maps! I'm a Geographer!)

Re: Major Alliances
I'm still curious to how Alexandria got to claim "Leifgrad" after the Holzer-Landish war...haha That is still a major city in Holzborg...
Re: Major Alliances
We obtained that region from the then-GSO. Once the map met its demise we made a separate claim and renamed the region "Leifgrad-Baden" to avoid any conflicts. It's still a nod to the past, without actually claiming any Holzborg land on Micras. We have never claimed any lands by Holzborg on Micras ever. And how we got to it... well, you remember that treaty you signed where you partitioned all your GSO lands amongst the Allies when you lost the war? It was from that treaty that we obtained that land.

Re: Major Alliances
I'm just asking, because Leifgrad was named after my gr-grandfather and I just don't like the idea of someone else using it. It feels so disrespectful that no one asked.
Edit: Not disrespectful to me, but to his memory. Someone who did not know him.

Re: Major Alliances
I was not aware of that at any point until now, and you've had many, many, many chances to voice your concern on that regard in private and public with me. I hope it's not because of the disagreement we had over private message While I understand that it is the memory of your great-grandfather, I do not think you should feel it is an act of disrespect. The fact that we changed the name when we moved to the Micras map to avoid any conflict with Holzborg shows that we did try to respect the treaty and you as well. However, the name is ingrained in Alexandrian history and culture, and I believe that we do not disrespect at all the name. It is an important part of the Empire, and we haven't taken any actions or measures to disrespect the name or want to. We have developed the area, written back stories and such with the name... if anything, I would like for you to feel proud that we have taken a liking to the name and respected it enough to integrate it into our culture and history. Basically: there are places in another micronation named after your great-grandfather... if I found out that a region somewhere was called after my great-grandfather Richard and was relatively developed culturally and historically, I'd feel proud that other people feel the urge to honor the memory of my great-grandfather. We mean no disrespect.

Re: Major Alliances
Our PM has nothing to do with it, no
Actually I this is the first time I noticed Alexandria used Leifgrad. I think someone pointed it out a while ago and I though it was a reference to the War.
I just don't like the idea that it is a "conquered" territory, that's what bothers me the most.
I'm sorry you never had the chance to read about my Great Grandfather, I has a bunch of information about him on my first forum and why i named the city after him. Actually Leifgrad meant alot to me, I think it was Ryan who allowed me to have duel capitals in Holzborg.
