Introduction to IRONEdit

The Independent Republic of Orange Nations was founded on March 16, 2006 under the name of “The OD Alliance” on the red sphere. The name was changed to "The KoRT Alliance" and "ACHTUNG" before finally settling on IRON and the Orange Sphere. IRON formally announced its existence to the world on April 28, 2006, opening our doors to recruitment and diplomats. Since then, IRON has played many roles in the formation of Planet Bob into what it is today. Politically, the alliance has played a large role in Orange Sphere unity and taken part in some of the most important events in Planet Bob's history. IRON is a founding member of the Duckroll Project along with TORN, Valhalla, Molon Labe, and BAPS. The alliance motto is "Ferro Credimus" which translates to "To IRON we give trust," representing the members' commitment to the alliance and their fellow comrades. Those who fight through war and help build the alliance to where it is today have been, as stated by Bay102174, "Baptized in blood and fire and emerged as IRON."

Charter of the Independent Republic of Orange NationsEdit

Article 1 - GovernanceEdit

I. The Republic shall be governed by a Council. The Council shall be the voice of the popular membership to the wider world, as well as ensure the security and stability of the Republic. The Council is charged with overseeing all aspects of governance and of the alliance in general, both foreign and domestic.

II. The Council shall appoint a President to serve as the symbolic head of the alliance. The President is to represent the general will of the populace.

Article 2 - MembershipEdit

I. Member Nations accept that membership in the Independent Republic of Orange Nations is incompatible with membership of any other alliance, and as such forsake all other alliances.

II. Member Nations pledge to act in the interests of the Republic and to work to advance the goals of the alliance. All Member Nations are expected to make efforts to contribute to the well-being and continual progress and growth of the alliance. Advancement within the Republic is based upon demonstrated merit.

III. Member Nations accept that they are bound by an oath of confidentiality. As such, they may not reveal internal or confidential information regarding the Republic to any extra-alliance party. This oath remains in effect even after the Member Nation ceases to be a member of the alliance and is effective from the moment they are granted membership.

IV. Any other Nation willing to uphold the principles of the Republic and to contribute to the growth of the alliance may apply for membership. Nations so invited may become a Member Nation by stating their acceptance of this Charter.

Article 3 - DefenseEdit

I. An armed attack against one or more Member Nations shall be considered to be an attack against them all. In such an event, the Republic shall collectively take action as deemed necessary by the Council, potentially including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the alliance and its Member Nations.

II. Member Nations are permitted and encouraged to develop a nuclear capability. However, the use of nuclear weapons in an irresponsible manner is not endorsed. As such, nuclear first strike attacks are strictly prohibited unless their use has been explicitly pre-approved by the IRON Council.

Article 4 - ViolationsEdit

I. A Member Nation of the Independent Republic of Orange Nations which has attacked a fellow Member Nation or has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter may be expelled from the Republic.

II. A Member Nation discovered belonging to another Alliance or in violation of his oath of confidentiality will be considered to be practicing espionage and expelled from the Independent Republic of Orange Nations. In the case of former Member Nations discovered in violation of their oath of confidentiality a request will be made to the nation’s current alliance for their suspension or expulsion from that alliance so that punitive action may be taken.

III. Any Member Nation of the Independent Republic of Orange Nations against which punitive action has been taken by the Council may be suspended from the exercise of the rights and privileges of membership. Such rights and privileges may only be restored by the Council.
