The Alliance has no issue [OOC] with non-humans, FT, etc, but it's simply that we choose to be an MT alliance in order to make RPs and so on more convenient.

We'd certainly be more than happy to RP with you in the future - you're right, the two alliance names do seem to doom us to disagreements!

Some 900 years a go ships with humans from the west got in to wild storm which crashed their ships on the shore of Silver Islands. From there they started spreading to the rest of Kometia creating first independent states. These states often fought wars with native peoples and with each other. In this long history of mutual hatred and war Fyuria and Misenia emerged as most powerful of all. About 250 years a go Aberans started their invasion from the east, acros the eastern sea. In that moment 13 nations were forced to unite in order to resist the invader. After nine years of bloody war 13 nations defeated Aberans and forced them to leave Kometia. Soon after, these 13 nations formed one nation with the "Unity treaty" singed on June 5. 18O5.(III) in Ungadur. The new nation was called The Federation of Samanar in honor of the commander who united 13 nations in war against Aberans. For first 50 years federation faced great problem of inequality amongst its people. This lead to start of the first civil war. For next 20 years Samanar saw three bloody civil wars, one after another. At the end of III Civil War Deamond Cris became first Princeps of Samanar. Reign of Princeps brought Samanar great stability and long peace and prosperity.

Hi Samanar, thanks for applying! Your app looks great, but can we just ask you to do a brief RP sample for us? No need for more than 100 words or so, just a paragraph on the following theme:

Terrorists have just attacked a resort in Bigtopia, and six of your citizens were killed in the attack. Bigtopia is not co-operating with the investigation, and so your government leaders must discuss what move to take next...

Okay, got it.

Glad to hear it. Might confuse outsiders though, ADL and ADS, which is which again?
