[edit] History

Echelon has enjoyed a rich history during its time on Planet Bob, making may friends (and enemies).

[edit] The Beginning

The leaders from GAT-ITEC and the Shadowhood met in the spacious conference room of a neutral nation. It was there that many voices shouted to be heard, each trying to gather favorable position within the alliance yet to be formed for his or her own nation. As kings and queens, princes and princesses, chancellors and presidents, each a formidable leader in their own land stepped forward to be counted, everyone in the room knew that a special alliance had been formed. Everyone would benefit in ways they couldn't imagine from this historic treaty signing. With one stroke of a gavel after all arguments had been made and all signatures applied to the great document, Echelon was officially formed. The nations each signaled home to their peoples and the new flag of the alliance was raised replacing the former flags of the Shadowhood and GAT-ITEC.

[edit] Prosperity

Following its formation Echelon enjoyed a great level of prosperity, at many times approaching 200 members. In the months following its formation, Echelon participated in many wars as a part of BLEU, as well as a few on their own, and later as a member of One Vision Echelon's war machine proved to be a very potent force, and the name Echelon became known across the planet.

[edit] Karma War

On April 22nd, 2009, Echelon Entered the Karma War in Defense of its long-time ally, the New Pacific Order. Echelon entered the war vastly outnumbered, at times fighting more then 10 different alliances, and quickly lost many members and great amounts of nation strength. Echelon surrendered from the Karma War on July 7th, 2009, over two months after entering. Many believed that Echelon was in her final chapter, however those left were dedicated to rebuilding Echelon to its former glory, and true to the legend of the Echelon's mascot the phoenix, Echelon rose from the ashes and today Echelon remains strong and vibrant and as dedicated to the future as ever.

[edit] Echelon Culture

Echelon has a rich culture that is based on a strong community, a strong military, and making the game fun for our members. Echelon members are very fun-loving, and it is not at all uncommon to see very interesting (and sometimes raunchy) discussion on our forums and IRC channel. While members of Echelon love to have a good time, they also want nothing more then to help other Echelon members excel both in game and in real life.

[edit] The Phoenix

Echelon's "mascot" is the phoenix, which is featured prominently in the Echelon flag. The phoenix mascot comes from the symbolism of the legend of the phoenix, in which a dying phoenix emerges anew from its burning ashes. Echelon's membership have a strong will and are dedicated to emerging from any challenge, united and looking towards the future.

[edit] The Community

Echelon has a rich community of members who are willing to do whatever it takes to help their Echelon brothers. Members of Echelon are always willing to help others in the alliance with financial and military aide if necessary. Echelon is somewhat of an aggressive alliance, and as a result makes an effort to always be prepared for times of war. Echelon's community features many experienced and knowledgeable members who are always willing to do whatever they can to assist others.

[edit] Echelon Government

Echelon is governed by a combination of appointed and elected positions, as defined by the Echelon Constitution. Our current government is listed below.
