This would be acceptable to the Pan-Slavic Union, except that such an arrangement would be a powerful conflict of interest. Neither group could completely count upon your nation to participate fully in the alliance.Straha wrote:The Monacoran Empire would like entery into both Democratic, and Non-Democratic alliances, prehaps we could be arranged as a sort of Liason between the two Alliances, making sure that neither one deliberatley tries to screw over the other alliance

The Fenari structure is semi-monarchy/semi-democracy.
Alpha's are appointed by descision of the greater pack members. Appointments are for life, Unless an other Fenari chooses to "Challenge" the leadership (Almost never happens). The three rank designations are Alpha (Absolute leaders), Beta (Managers/Military Officers) and Gamma (Normal Fenari). All Fenari young are considered "Gammas" it's through deeds/actions that Fenari rise in station.

Perhaps so, perhaps not. We prefer not to speculate on who would win such an engagement, but the timing of the dynastic alliance's establishment indicates that it is and will remain a rival alliance.Straha wrote:Only if the alliances were Rivals, in which case the IMperial Alliance would be crushed due to numbers plain and simple.

The NAU would prefer not to entertain the prospects of joining an 'entangling alliance' unless it is to the recognizable benefit to our national security. At this time of general peace throughout the known galaxy, we believe that it is not in our best interest to join an alliance.Straha wrote:Might I ask at what time you might be willing to enter an alliance?phongn wrote:While the North American Union agrees in principle to the second and third declarations set forth by the honorable Pan-Slavic Republic, we feel that we cannot join a military alliance at this time.
