The BELIEBers

The BELIEBers are one of the oldest alliances to survive into the post-drewsade era. They are led by tubularTOUCAN. 
The BELIEBers are the only alliance in CitiesWar committed to publicly-stated principles and a mission: 
#Belieb & fight to protect the Beliebf
#Unite and liberate the Belieberlands
#Don't form alliances with other alliances
The BELIEBers will stick to their principles even when it is not necessarily easy. They oppose circumventing the intention of game mechanics, for example they do not ask to visit top cities but insist on conquering them normally. They do not perform def% boosting either.

===History of the BELIEBers:===
As a pre-drewsade alliance, the BELIEBers have a long history, predominantly focused around trying to unite the BELIEBerlands (Canada) from coast to shining coast. 
Despite reaching values as high as 9 million during the drewsade , they declined after suffering a mutiny which led to the creation of Siberian Empire and later a brief war with Nova America (instigated primarily by war profiteer Marshall Zhukov). The war status with Nova America was maintained long after the Novans became defunct.
The BELIEBers continued to hold together a small territory in Eastern Canada. Notable players such as Eorlingas230 and Josey XIII joined for jokes at times, and some Resistance members sheltered under #JB's flag after the Fall of The Resistance.
Baxter49 had always been sympathetic to the BELIEBers and had been maintaining peaceful relations between Cascadia and TubularTOUCAN. During the Cascadian-Resistance Wars there was even some collaboration between both alliances. In January 2022 during the Cascadian Dormancy, Baxter49 made the decision to merge BC Ferries into the BELIEBers. 
The merge was largely successful, and the new alliance truly did stretch from coast to shining coast. Some enemies of the BELIEBers who had become angry at TubularTOUCAN due to so-called "unfair bannings" unfortunately decided to harass his borders. At the same time Eorlingas230 and other members of 501st Legion continued their aggression against the former Cascadia members.
Despite this, the BELIEBers stayed strong. The real blow came when some former Cascadia members who had been losing interest in the game said they would be interested in a revival. Although SvenBiscuit and Baxter49 were hesitant to betray the trust of Toucan, it was settled that peaceful relations would be maintained and Cascadia would protect the BELIEBers (even though no formal alliance would exist due to rule #3). 
Anti-BELIEBer players like Lubec continue to hold the alliance back from its former glory, and without the Cascadians they cannot control as much of the BELIEBerlands, but Toucan [redacted] gives up.
