Independence Alliance

Dissolved

The **Independence Alliance** (Dutch: **Onafhankelijkheids Alliantie**), variously known as the **Rebel Alliance**, **Freedom Alliance**, or **Allvanona**, was a federal alliance of Morranian nationalist parties and paramilitary groups which existed between June 2019 and September 2025, when it was absorbed into the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy and ceased to exist. Between 2022 and 2024, the Independence Alliance operated as the government of the Transitional State of Dunsteen and the president of the transitional state drew their authority from the alliance.

Founded in June 2019 by EuroCorp executive Werner Reinheart, the Independence Alliance was initially established as the political wing of a pro-independence militia group in the Morranian region and sought to advocate for the independence of the province from the Republic of Dunsteen. Between 2020 and 2022, the paramilitary wing of the organisation fought an insurgency against Dunsteen and in October 2022, Reinheart proclaimed the formation of the Transitional State of Dunsteen. The establishment of the transitional state saw the Independence Alliance evolve into a state, with its own legislature, executive, and military forces, whilst the transitional state acted as the diplomatic term for the region controlled by the alliance. Under the leadership of Jean Luc Melenchon, the political branch of the Independence Alliance was dissolved in May 2023 and the organisation simply existed as a proto-state rather than a federal political party. After a coup against Melenchon by the Military Bureau of the alliance, governmental and legislative functions of the Independence Alliance were suspended in September 2024 with the formation of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen, whilst military functions were transferred to the new republic.

Between 2024 and 2025, the Independence Alliance existed as a vehicle for government campaigning and policy creation, and was absorbed into the remit of the Ministry of the Interior as an independent autonomous governmental think-tank. In September 2025, the Independence Alliance was merged with its former member group Caucus of Corporate Republicans to form the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) under the leadership of President Sunil Bakshi. The VVD would remain in power under the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen and its successor state the Republic of Morra for fifteen years between 2025 and 2040.

## Branches

The Independence Alliance operated six main branches, which operated independently and held separate powers; the political division, executive branch, state council, national executive, and two military divisions. Whilst distinctly separate from each other, the branches often overlapped and shared responsibilities - the changing nature of the branches demonstrates the political evolution of the Independence Alliance from a simple political party into a de-facto government, followed by its reshaping as a campaign, policy, and advisory body between 2024 and 2025.

Upon the Independence Alliance's founding on June 16, 2019, the organisation was registered simply as a political party in the Republic of Dunsteen, though it also held covert links to an unregistered and illegal paramilitary division. Between 2021 and 2022, the political division of the Independence Alliance expanded into a federation of different parties, with the National Alliance being the most notable of member parties; within the Independence Alliance, member parties retained a degree of autonomy but policy was set by higher up officials within the organisation and shared goals of Morranian independence allowed the groups to work together. On October 13, IA leader Werner Reinheart proclaimed the formation of the Transitional State of Dunsteen; unlike other neighbouring states in Europe, the transitional state was merely an evolution of the Independence Alliance, which formed an executive branch and a state council which acted as a government and legislature respectively. Power within the state resided within the alliance, with the group's leader being the president of the transitional state, whilst the state council represented the interests of the federated political movements. In January 2023, the state council held a presidential election and Jean Luc Melenchon was elected as leader of the alliance; under President Melenchon, the political division was abolished and member parties were released from sharing a common policy platform, effectively shifting the purpose of the alliance into that of a proto-state, wielding a military, government, and legislature. On August 17, 2024, the Military Bureau led a coup against Melenchon and established a Transitional Junta to take over the functions of the executive branch, whilst de-facto suspending the state council; on September 3, 2024, Werner Reinheart returned to the office of president. One of the first acts of the new Reinheart administration was to establish a National Executive of the organisation to coordinate political efforts, create policies, and advise the government.

On September 23, 2024, President Werner Reinheart proclaimed the formation of the Corporate Republic of Dunsteen to replace the Transitional State; with the creation of the C.R. Dunsteen, the Independence Alliance's government, legislative, and military functions were suspended and its powers granted to the new government, leaving the Independence Alliance as simply a coordination and advisory organisation headed by the Interior Secretary. On September 4, 2025, President Sunil Bakshi established the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) as the ruling party of the new republic and absorbed both the Independence Alliance and Caucus of Corporate Republicans into the new party, thus dissolving the final remnants of the political system of the Transitional State.
