Grand Alliance

The Grand Alliance (GA), formerly known as the Grand 6 (G6), was an alliance of factions dedicated to defending the Friendly Garry's Mod Community and Super Garrys Mod Server. The alliance was originally formed between Cat-Gopher Industries, Orovian Republic, Second Greenoan Republic, 1-47 Union, Anti-Cringe Association, and the Valkyrian Ascendancy with the goal of dissolving the United Super Defense Force and United Assault Coalition, and it has seen success in expelling USDF from Super after the ban of its ruling members for admin abuse, taking bribes, and scamming others. 
==History==
===Superian War===
Main article: Superian War
The Superian War was a war originally fought between the Anti-Cringe Association and the United Super Defense Force. It escalated when multiple other factions became involved, which soon resulted in the formation of the G6 after the Six-Gate Conspiracy.
When further member states joined the alliance past the original six groups, some felt that G6 should be renamed in order to better represent its new members, and a vote was held to determine a new name on July 27, 2021. Six days later, on August 2, the group's flag and name were officially changed to those of the Grand Alliance.
=== New Germania Controversy ===
On August 20, 2021, New Germania leader Elias made an announcement that he would be retiring from Garry's Mod in order to deal with a personal life matter. Due to previous untrustworthy actions on Elias's part and the fact that a battle had been scheduled between New Germania and the Red Sun Military Forces for that same day weeks prior, some members of the alliance interpreted Elias's statement as an underhanded attempt to avoid the conflict and were hostile to him as a result. When it was revealed that the "personal life matter" was actually Elias's mother being in the hospital, all of these people apologized not long after, though numerous members became suspicious of Elias once again when he began playing Garry's Mod later that day, publicly leaked both the GA and SGR Discord servers, and downloaded the ACA Discord server to "keep to himself"https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/547169329112678421/916149387099529256/unknown.png?width=600&height=910; this suspicion soon culminated in the Valkyrian Ascendancy declaring war on NG, though no actual conflict ever came of it.
xenoscoot, leader of the ACA, also accidentally revealed that a plan had existed to act against Elias for his previous actions, which was what finally prompted him to leave GA, followed shortly after by NG allies New Byzantium and the Greater Kingdom of Prussia, and leak the aforementioned servers. Though Elias never actually retired until the end of the Room Temperature War, the tensions caused by this incident directly contributed to the beginning of that future conflict.
=== Merge with GMAP ===
After the NG Controversy, the remaining members of GA were almost entirely the same as those of the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact, which became entirely inactive shortly after the approximate end of World War IV and served largely the same purpose as GA. For these reasons, the GA Security Council decided to officially merge the two groups under a new combined name and flag on November 14, 2021; as this took place, the GA Discord was completely reorganized into a new structure, whereas the GMAP Discord remains to this day as an archive.
