DUMP

The Defense Union for Mutual Prosperity (DUMP) is an alliance between Eddie Murphy, Cortesia Del Mar, Dormount, and Gul. Founded on January 30th 2020, the quintapartite entity concerns itself with two pillars: a defense pact, and a trade pact. The alliance was put together by Eddie Murphy in the later days of January 2020 as a way to bring most of the young power's friend nations together under a single banner.

Each nation is entitled to one vote (out of a total of five) on all matters which affect all member nations of the DUMP (with exceptions for extremely time-sensitive situations) - All DUMP members pledge to defend one another from an aggressor, while participation in a member's offensive war is left as a choice - All DUMP members pledge to seek the prosperity of one another, to economically work together, and to trade closely - No DUMP member may gather non-consensual intelligence on any other.

History
The DUMP was founded on January 31st, 2021. Its first two days of existence were rocked by confusion surrounding the alliance's makeup by two supposed members, owing to what is largely considered the premature publicizing of the pact. Two thought-to-be members, Hyperion and Columbia, both made clear their lack of intent to participate in the defense and trade pacts on January 31st and February 1st respectively; Hyperion voluntarily withdrew, while DUMP symbolically revoked Columbia's membership with a vote of 4-0. Lambat also joined the alliance - having been originally invited but having declined - on January 31st, leaving the alliance a four-member pact by the end of the period of confusion. On February 2nd, Lambat dissolved, necessarily leaving the alliance; within the span of an hour, however, DUMP returned to four members as the nation of Gul, undergoing negotiations with the border-conflicting Veldt in DUMP's discord, requested and was quickly accepted to join.
