Crescent Concordant

The Crescent Concordant was an alliance between the Empire of UIdarash, Frostmarch, the Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris (formerly called UBSR), Soumere, Eskirija, Tsalja, the Republic of Posavaria, Paloro, and Viridian. The alliance lasted between the 2nd of December, 2020, and the 25th of January, 2021.
== History ==
The Crescent Concordant's founding can be traced back to 12/2/2020, though negotiations could have started even earlier for the faction. The majority of founding states joined during this time, and ideas had already begun for names. Around four nations were in the alliance at this time, and so it was stated that the alliance had a "crescent shape" if viewed on the map. Thus, leading to the Crescent being a major icon for the upcoming flag proposals on the same day.
The alliance was formed in order to defend the sovereignty of member nations and foster closer relations between nations. Together the C.C. sought to uphold the claims and unity of its member nations in order to allow all citizens a place to live and thrive.
Uldarash left The Crescent Concordant on the 23rd of December, 2020, as the direction of the alliance was not fulfilling their vision. This led to the dispute of Guild Island, which was the result from misunderstandings and miscommunication. Frostmarch left the alliance on the 31st of December, 2020, becoming an associated state in order to better serve the needs of the their people. 
Following these departures, the cohesiveness of the alliance was damaged and it was left as a somewhat random conglomeration of scattered nations across the world. The Alliance entered a state of reform, seeking to better serve its goals of protecting the sovereignty of member-states, and also seeking a common purpose to unite them.
The Concordant was given new life during the Bardonian Wars, when all member states found common cause in opposing Bardonia's world conquest. However, Viridian was forced to submit to Bardonia and subsequently left the Concordant, weakening the resolve of the alliance. A few citizens of certain member states of the alliance, specifically Soumere and Palaris, took aggressive terrorist actions during the war against Bardonia, but the Alliance as a whole did not pursue a unified plan of resistance. Members from the Concordant also participated in the proxy war over Aezenfjord, opposing the Bardonia-aligned Sorveien conquest of the city.
After the Bardonian Wars ended, Viridian was released from Bardonia and rejoined the alliance for a time. However, with the threat of Bardonia mostly adverted, the alliance lost much of its purpose. The member states voted to move toward dissolving the alliance. On the 25th of January, 2021, Viridian left the Concordant yet again, and a few days later the alliance was entirely dissolved.
All previous member states (with the exception of Uldarash) agreed to replace the alliance with a shared non-aggression pact.
