The Greater Prussian Empire is an 'alliance of alliances'. It links together the Greater Prussia region, the Unified Realm region, the Confederacy of Sovereign States, and the Capitalist International, as well as the Free Cities Alliance and the Furry Protection Alliance. The alliance members get the benefits of mutual defense, free trade, and the assistance of the joint Greater Prussian Armed Forces.
What are the values of your alliance?
Military strength, capitalism, and liberty. In practice, if your nation or alliance is capitalist and not completely evil, you can join. Slave-owning nations are prohibited.
How do I join Greater Prussia?
There are four ways to join the Empire. You could either move your nation into the Greater Prussia region, join one of our alliances – the CSS and CAPINTERN – or join up with your entire alliance. If none of these work for you, you can join as a 'Free Cities Alliance' member – a member of the Greater Prussian Empire who is not a member of any of the constituent alliances.
Who is the Greater Prussian Emperor?
The leader of the Greater Prussian Empire is responsible for running the alliance's institutions – the joint armed forces and similar – and abjudicating disputes between nations. The Emperor has no authority about goings-on inside your nation, unless you are threatening the security of other alliance members.
The whole 'Empire' thing... it sounds like I'll lose sovereignty if I join.
No. No. People keep saying that, or asking that. No. The Greater Prussian Empire, while maintaining the trappings of Imperial rule, nobility, etc., is not in any way oppressive. Again, Imperial authorities have no power over your nation's internal policies. In fact, the alliance is so large and powerful we don't even need to call upon every member for the mutual defense clause – a fraction of our strength is usually sufficient to crush any threat. Read more here about the Constitution of Greater Prussia and the protections it provides to its members.
What are the benefits of joining as an alliance?
The Empire's institutions are overseen by the Imperial Senate, in which every individual member of the GPE gets one vote. But if you join as an alliance, your alliance leader will get an additional amount of votes equal to half the member count of your alliance, rounded down – so if you have 30 members, you will have 30 votes between you, and your leader will also control 15 votes (if you want, you can create an internal mechanism to control how he uses them). Your alliance will thus have more votes and power than if all 30 of you joined as individuals. More information available in the Constitution.
