It was founded in 2006 by the regions Jethnea, Global Right Alliance and North Pacific, and currently has 16 member regions. The FRA is the largest and longest-running defender alliance in NationStates, and its Rangers are regularly out protecting the sovereignty of founderless regions, a notable recent example being Belgium.

Posted below are the latest two updates of the FRA, written by our (then) Arch Chancellor, Northern Chittowa:
From the office of the Arch-Chancellor
Good day everyone,
Firstly, may i say that it is my pleasure to be conducting this small update as your newly elected Arch-Chancellor. As one of the founders of this organisation i take pride in the fact that i have another chance to lead it down paths yet undiscovered. Despite this, i am also hit with a tinge of sadness. I always said i would only step back into FRA politics once again if its state was so dire that it could result in its demise if i didn’t. Unfortunately, that time is now. I stated in my manifesto that i would not let this organisation fall, and i promise you, its members, that it will not.
This term in mainly going to be one of rebuilding it has to be said and as such i plead with you to not be worried if activity cannot be seen. This is because the majority of attention will be focused in areas of the organisation hidden away from everyday view. For instance, redevelopment has already began, with the Rangers being given a new code of conduct, while the intelligence forums are also in the process of having an overhaul with a number of ideas now being implemented.
To help with this process i have also enlisted the help of two long term defenders who have agreed to come to the FRA as advisors. These are Naivetry and Sir Lans, both of which are very respected defenders who command respect. With these two new advisor's joining our team i am sure the FRA will grow stronger.
On a final note i will say to you that these reports will now become a regular occurrence. My new cabinet have been informed that they have to supply me with a report every two weeks on the progress of their respective departments. These reports will then be written up by me to present to you, our members. If you have any questions, queries or wish for any information at all on the FRA, please feel free to contact me.
Northern Chittowa.

From the Office of the Arch-Chancellor
Good day everyone,
Again i must say it is a pleasure to be writing an update for you all to read. There have been huge improvements already in how the FRA works and the signs are that this is not going to stop any time soon. We have made progress of which i didn’t anticipate and to that end i must congratulate those in my Cabinet and all those who are involved in the FRA. This has been down to hard work by all of us, so well done.
My cabinet in the opening two weeks of this term have been working, under my guidance, to transform their respective departments. Sedge as my deputy has been very busy sourcing out potential new members for this alliance with a couple of potential members already being talked to at this moment in time and no doubt more will be made public on this between now and my next report.
Our intelligence service has been given a massive overhaul, with older topics being moved to create space for new ones, and housekeeping in general being the main issues at the moment. We have a number of agents out in the field, who are sending us regular information which in turn is helping the Rangers keep one step ahead of our invader foes. We have also implemented a new sector of the Intelligence agency which shall focus on the Security Council issues of the WA. This will allow us to not only keep track of important proposals, but also allows us to use this new game mechanic to our advantage.
The Rangers under Cocodian have been altered a great deal already and i think we shall start to see the benefits of his plans throughout this term. The new Companies have been created as most of you know, and a new system of procedures has been put into place already. A programme to advertise the Rangers and what they do is also in effect and hopefully this will bear fruit shortly.
Now onto some important news. Firstly thanks to the efforts of my Deputy, Sedge has managed to refound the member region of Gay successfully. After being asked for our help in the refounding by Gwenstafani, the FRA worked closely with the natives of the region to enable the refounding to go ahead without any real problems. This was work well done, and as such Gay is now a region who are safe in the knowledge that their regions future is now secure.
I am also forced to regrettably announce the resignation and departure of one of my advisor's. Sir Lans has unfortunately been forced to resign his position as advisor to the FRA due to other commitments. I would just like to thank him for his efforts and wish him well in the future. No doubt we will work together once again.
The biggest news of this last week has of course been the liberation of Belgium, of which the FRA played a very important part. I cant go into much detail regarding the planning stages due to security issues, however i will say that it was an operation that involved a large number of defenders moving into a PW’ed region only moments before the update occurred. All of this while the invader delegate was active, which is no small feat. This was a great achievement not only for the FRA, but for defender unity as a whole and for the natives of Belgium. This should also serve as a warning for invaders. No matter how secure you think you are, no matter what tactics you use, defenders will always find a way to break you down.
And that concludes the cabinet report from the Arch-Chancellors office.
