The Celtic Union

**The Celtic Union** (TCU, founded March 29th 2018 by Celtica) is an alliance which has its roots in the old Celtic regions of western Europe. Its main goals are to help (new) nations grow and to fight against injustice. The good cooperation and friendly ambiance between the members are important factors in TCU. The alliance is ranked 3rd in the alliance leaderboards as of July 10th, 2020.

 TCU contains four roles: *Member, Secretary, Co-Leader* and *Leader*. The current government is as follows:

* **Leader:** New Deutschland (President Isaac) (the guy who should be in charge of Nations entirely)
* **Co-Leader:** NewerDuckland (McDuckles)
* **Secretary:** Glebeland (Fafa), Cabbag E (Kidloser)
* **Retired:** Celtica (Indiana Mark), Sol (Eris), Kanada (Kaptain Kat), Mercia (matboyler)

The Celtic Union officially recognizes Donald Duck as their Lord and Savior. Quack.

## History

The Celtic Union was founded in 2018, after Celtica (Indiana Mark) left SPQR to found his own alliance. An MDP was quickly signed with SPQR to ensure safety. The Union grew quickly, staying within Top 10 for most of its existence.

In December 2018, Indiana Mark deleted his nation. Leadership was transferred over to Mercia (matboyler), who ran TCU from the 22nd of December 2018 to the 18th May 2020.

In May 2020, after the Iowan Aggression of 2020, Mercia resigned as head of TCU, and was replaced by New Deutschland (Isaacdnz). Isaac has run TCU since.

## Diplomacy

### Current Treaties

The Celtic Union currently has two treaties: a MDP with SPQR and an MDP with the R-Team.

### Important Past Treaties

The Celtic Union was a member of the **Union of Petramic Alliances (UPA)**, a union which consisted of several powerful alliances. TCU aided its UPA allies if and when possible in any conflicts, mostly focussing on enemies of tier 8 and below.

### Enemies

A very important subgoal for TCU is to fight any nazi or nazi related nations and removing them from Petram or at least halting their growth. All nazi nations are enemies of TCU.

Other enemies include enemies of the UPA, such as COM and NATO Republic. (Not Current)

## Important Conflicts

### Wars against nazis

The Celtic Union has had several wars with nazi nations. The wars were successes thanks to good cooperation, communication and planning. The overall aggression against nazis is an ongoing campaign until these nations are all removed from Petram.

### Operation Vindicta

As part of SoP's Operation Vindicta against COM, TCU has had (several) wars with COM members Liquorous, Jeffybean and Greater Slavia. The war with Liquorous ended with a white peace after the nation panicked (because of the overwhelming TCU power) and was told to leave COM. The wars against the other COM members mentioned above all resulted in (multiple) victories and annexations by TCU members.

### The UPA-NATO War

When the NATO Republic decided to rebel against the UPA, a long series of conflicts started. The Celtic Union is aiding its UPA allies against NATO during this conflict. Victories against Zaahs and Sri Lanka have been achieved up till now. However, the war against Monrovia ended in white peace, although several of its important and strong units were wiped out.

## Points of Interest

### Jurassic Park

The Celtic Union owns the Jurassic Park (quack) on Isla Duckla island. Celtica and NewerDuckland own the island. Duckfella owns it most though.
