The Sovereign Protection League was a short-lived alliance established on March 19th, 2023, by the Republic of Ireland in response to the perceived threat posed by the global superpower, The Dutch East Indies. The League was created with the primary goal of protecting its member nations from potential global aggression, especially by TDEI, and ensuring their sovereignty.

## History

The alliance's first draft was made when the four member nations held a conference in the meeting room located in the Ministry of Foreign affairs building in Diamond Ridge. To formalize the alliance, the Treaty of Latvian-Kosovo was made and signed by the four original member nations: Ireland, NcR, SeC, and Poland. This name did have nothing to do with any member nations or articles. It was primarily chosen to deter any foreign nations getting information about the members, as it was not public. The treaty served as a framework for the League's activities and established guidelines for cooperation and mutual defense.

However, the League's effectiveness was first compromised when NcR decided to withdraw from the alliance, citing their withdrawal from the global stage and newly formed isolutionary agenda. This left only three member nations remaining in the League, which considerably weakened its ability to defend itself.

The League faced another major setback when Ireland also withdrew. Irelands main reasons were the unwarranted provocations from SeC and Poland directed towards TDEI and the subsequent acceptance of the risk of involving Ireland in an unnecessary conflict. Furthermore, Ireland deemed it necessary due to the absence of perceived benefits, particularly following NcR's departure, and the potential security risk posed to Ireland as a result of their ill-considered actions.

In the aftermath of Ireland's departure, the Sovereign Protection League ultimately disbanded on April 6th, 2023. The League's brief existence serves as a cautionary tale of the complex nature of international diplomacy and the challenges faced by small nations when confronting powerful global superpowers.
