Global Defense Initiative

__FORCETOC__
==Overview==
The Global Defense Initiative was founded on December 5th, 2018 by Nreic, leader of Palaesia. The initial goal was to create a haven for new players to thrive and enjoy playing the game. In the beginning, it succeded. For the first 2-3 months of life, a large number of players came to the game and were immediately brought into the GDI. The community was quite active, and the discord always had a discussion going on, same with the in game alliance chat. This period led several players to become incredibly powerful, and brought in some experienced people to the alliance. As time went on, conflict and rogue members caused the alliance to collapse. The collapse occurred between 04/01/2019 to 04/06/19.
==Timeline==
In the beginning, the alliance consisted of Nreic and Meade. They began recruiting any new players they saw in the game, inflating their numbers. Within the first month, the alliance had already gathered over 20 players, larger than the biggest alliance in the game, though, much weaker. Notable members from that period are Nreic, Meade, SeanPRC, and Drusketh.

==Important Conflicts==
===War of the Roses===
(Note: This is all based from my memories of the war. Section expanded by Saarland.)
A player named Terre500 of the nation of Tucson had their own alliance, and after a war ravaged that alliance, he disbanded it and fled to the GDI. Sadly, this angered TCE and they demanded that the GDI removed their defense and kicked him immediately. Due to the absence of Nreic, the Security Council were unable to kick him.
After the initial disputes of the fate of Tuscon, TCE invoked their MDP with UPP, which in turn invoked treaties with all Rose members. Then, since Tuscon was in GDI, the later was dragged into the conflict which got heavy blows to the internal structure of the GDI, thus collapsing.
Then, on the 1st of April, the treaty of Vulcana was signedhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1chxWBRjYVHYW2IyFNbPz_lFf5y6nkQZv-OEa-4fy58c/mobilebasic
3 days later, GDI collapsed and left 130 nations unprotected.
