[edit] History

Main article: History of the League of Small Superpowers

The history of LoSS dates back to its formation in March 2006. LoSS is the 9th oldest active alliance in cybernations and it was a long road to travel. The Alliance has hit every emotion on its trip ranging from major popularity to extreme obscurity and back again many times over. LoSS made great friends in NAAC early in its existence and stuck with those friends through four wars including all three of the great wars. LoSS has opposed the NPO many times, only to become friends with them after all was said and done. LoSS watched the rise of its greatest enemy, the GOONS, and then sat by and laughed, as they fell into obliteration. GOONS would have been proud of the action.

LoSS was sent to die on the smallest color sphere, pink, only to come out nearly a year later stronger than before. LoSS has had treaties with some of the greatest alliances in the game such as the NAAC, NPO, GATO, LUE, TPF, and the Greenland Republic. LoSS has produced some of the greatest players in the game and while some left the alliance like New Reverie, Zeke, KSwiss, and Trace other great ones stayed. Many core groups have passed through the halls of the leadership buildings to lead the alliance forward. Some leaders had it rougher than others and had to pull the alliance through dark and trying times, while some had it easy and got to enjoy the good life as the alliance prospered.

Over all, the alliance has had its ups and downs with good times being around every corner. The result of everything is a family like none other. A place to go and hang out with friends while you kill time. A place to enjoy a friends conversation about life and to celebrate their highs and help them through their lows. You never know what the outrageous conversation of the moment will be when you log on the the LoSS IRC room #loss @ coldfront.

Through thick and thin the friends that make of the alliance of LoSS are the closest bunch around.

[edit] Charter

See Main Articles: LOSS Charter and Old LOSS Charter

The original charter of LoSS was written by Nidhogg and King Justin XIII during a time of emergency powers granted to them right after the creation of the alliance. The first official charter was heavily laced with Latin and stayed that way for a long time. The second charter was an in depth revision of the original charter including the removal and clarification of much of the previous Latin use. Other writings and revisions were made by LoSS members Drugsup, Althor, Jaaku, Nikolaos, Rebirth of Gorniar, and Grand_Duke_Stephen.

The second charter was retired on August 28, 2008. The conception of the third charter was brought around after the need of change. Many older and former members gathered together in talks on how to fix the concerns. The new charter was the product of those talks. The charter completely dropped the more democratic styling of the original charter and established a structure based on meritocracy rule. Writing contributions to the new charter include Drugsup, Nidhogg, Jaaku, Caesar, and Rebirth.

On the 25th of May, the third charter was retired due to the acceptance of the fourth, more democratic charter. Added sentence about new charter.

[edit] Consul Emereti

In October 2006, many of the newly elected senate thought that anyone who had served as Consul of LoSS deserved a permanent place in the government, thus the idea of the Consul Emeritus was born. The senate finally reached the agreement that all honorable previous Consuls of LoSS can be granted a position as a permanent senate member of LoSS under the title, Consul Emeritus. Although this position holds no official power within LoSS, by the spirit of the idea, it was to drastically benefit the decisions of LoSS's future with all past honorable Consuls as permanent seat in the Curia. There are terms to the position and the senate has the power to remove Consul Emeritus from his position at any given time. All previous Consuls of LoSS have to be confirmed by senate before receiving the title of Consul Emeritus.
