====Origins Foundation(Early =August, 2020)===
The idea for a New World based alliance was thought up by several people after the events of the Invasion of Norlund, in which the site of the Norlundic colony in the New World was sacked by [[Blackwater]] mercenaries hired by the Imperial Federation, as well as Old World Norlund being invaded by [[Yggdrasil]]. Many other New World colonists were appalled that this occured, particularly those of Vibeville, who would end up discussing the idea of a possible pan-shard alliance. They were not the only ones to attempt this, with the IF and [[Paradise]] also gunning for an alliance set-up. The Vibers worked diligently in setting up a series of agreeable basic principles along with a discord, and reaching out to many of the other smaller nations. They carefully avoiding inviting the nations of bigger claims over fear they may tip the balance of power away from the smaller, less resourceful nations.
 
====Foundation====
In short order, the Vibers brought in the people of Brissur, Sesoria, New Providence, and Zeal, for a total of five. Otonabee was also invited at this time, and would effecitvely join a day later after some internal deliberation, rounding out the number of founders to six. The colonies of the [[Thomas Archipelago]] nations were ignored, as they effectively had [[Thomas Archipelago Union|their own alliance]] to back them up. Shortly after the charter was codified and Otonabee joined in, the first vote to induct a nation was held, with the possible goal of getting Norlund in. It was unanimously passed, bringing up the total nations to seven, and covering much of the land of the shard.

==== Norlund Rocks The Alliance ====
The same day the alliance announced themselves to the public, Norlund, along with Paradise, invaded the IF in an attempt to coup those who the Norlish saw as the perpetrators of the previous Norlund invasion, mainly the effective leader of the IF, Gordona22. They would pearl him and break some IF bunkers in an attempt to install Onederful and 1drop as the leaders of the IF, although Gordona would later be freed. This would be the first conflict of the Imperial Federation Civil War. Norlund did not inform the alliance of this invasion beforehand, which, along with all the drama it caused, served to piss off several of the members of the other allied nations. Paradise had planned the attack, and in turn for Norlund joining in Norlund would acquire some land from IF, a reversal of what had happened to Norlund before. Norlund had claimed at this time that the main reason for their actions was to take down a hostile government and that the land was just a cherry on top, convincing the other allied members that their cause was a more noble one.
 
==== Norlund Rocks The Alliance ====
Despite this, it was decided that Norlund had broken the rules of the alliance by inciting violence against the IF without engaging in Diplomacy and potentially destabilizing the IF. Talk of punishing them occurred, and a vote was announced to remove them from the alliance. Vibeville and NP were the most against them staying in, with Brissur also voting against the Norlish, but they could not gather a majority. This vote was not so clean cut as there was a great deal of confusion over the events due to the continual refusal of the Norlund Officials from discussing the events of their invasion afterwards. It was only after part of the story was gotten form Paradise would Norlund divulge any details. Due to this confusion, a second vote to kick them out would be held the next day, but it would fail again, with only Vibeville and NP voting Norlund out. A bill would be passed requiring member states to inform the alliance of any military action the member states would soon to carry out to prevent this scenario from happening again, with Norlund escaping unscathed from punishment at this time. This uneasy peace would last not even two days before the next IF related drama would occur.
Mere hours after the alliance announced themselves to the public<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i8laag/announcing_the_far_seas_alliance_fsa/</ref>, Norlund, along with Paradise, invaded the IF in claimed attempt to restore democracy within the IF from the actions of Gordona22 and the Imperial Senate. They would pearl Gordona, break the nation's tax chest and one of his personal chests, These actions were revealed to orchestrated by the Paradise leader, Dama, along with the IF senators 1drop and onederful. Norlund did not inform the alliance of this invasion beforehand, which, along with all the drama it caused, and served to frustrate several of the members of the other allied nations. Norlund would acquire some land from IF following these events, and many members were worried.
 
Despite this, it was decided that Norlund had broken the rules of the alliance by inciting violence against the IF without engaging in Diplomacy and potentially destabilizing the IF. Talk of punishing them occurred, and several votes were held to remove them from the alliance following an official statement condemning the attack<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i8qpdj/fsa_statement_on_the_norlundif_debacle/</ref>. The first vote failed, with several nations deciding to await a Norlish statement on the matter. Following a post by Norlund <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i8rh5h/on_the_norlundic_intervention_into_the_imperial/</ref> and a 9 question list posted by prawny331 in the FSA discord demanding a response from the then Norlish Prime Minister, Groxlord<ref>https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/SH86vDDjxv/</ref>. Grox's response<ref>https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/MsrdQ8n5tT/</ref> clarified many concerns within the FSA, and the following vote to remove Norlund also failed. The Imperial Federation was reformed, with Onederful serving as interim leader, assisted by 1drop, for a 2 week transition period to a new government.
==== Gordona's Counter-Coup, The Admission of the Imperial Federation, and the coup of the IF ====
The citizens of the IF were not happy with the restructuring being done by the Paradise backed 1drop, who would attempt to restructure the country into a new one called ''Raindrop'', with the [[Cantina]] Minister ZRAINH20 acting as a co-diarch. This was proof enough to the FSA that Paradise, a New World extension of Cantina, was setting up the IF to be a simple puppet state. Gordona would not go down without a fight, and would engage in a counter-coup to decide the fate of the IF. The majority of FSA leadership preferred the old IF over a Paradise puppet state, and decided to accept the request of the IF Loyalists to join the alliance. The vote was quick (some might even say rushed), with most states voting in the Loyalists, except for NP, who wanted to remain neutral at this stage of the conlfict, and Norlund, who had not been given the chance to vote before the results were declared.
 
==== Gordona'sIF Counter-Coup, The Admission of the Imperial Federation, and theThe coupBetrayal of the IF Norlund====
Not all member nations would help the Loyalists much further than that, with Vibeville doing the lion's share by providing labor and a large amount of materials, and their more defensively-minded citizens acting as advisors. Of note, Saren_Solaris (who happened to be in the shard as he had been involved with Blackwater) was convinced to assist the IF Loyalists as well and also did great work for them. They built up new bunkers, anticipating a full scale invasion from Paradise/Cantina. This would not come, however, after the double-agent Onederful exposed the truth of Norlund's involvement in the original coup.

During the events of the counter-coup, the interim ruler onederful decided to switch sides, and leaked conversations with himself, 1drop, Dama and Norlund<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/iamll2/the_truth_behind_the_invasion_of_the_imperial/</ref> over the planned attack, proving that the statements made by Norlund and Groxlord to be lies to even the Norlish people. Norlund had invaded the IF with the explicit purpose of acquiring new land, as revenge for the prior events with Fortuna and Blackwater. With Onderful's revelation in the form of a subreddit post, the treachery of Dama and Norlund would be unveiled for all the world to see. Norlund was removed from the FSA leadership channels immediately while the rest of the FSA discussed what happened. Due to betrayal by Norlund, a third and final vote was called to kick them out, passing unanimously. Mainland [[Cantina]] disavowed the actions of Dama, and a disgraced 1drop hurriedly left the shard, banished from returning. Groxlord resigned as the Norlish prime minister, and an apology was issued by the interim leader of Norlund <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/icp7xk/an_apologetic_statement_from_the_interim_prime/</ref>. The IF was properly re-established, and accepted into the FSA, following the succession of [[Godhaven]] and [[Cococabanna]], the latter of which was also later accepted into the alliance. The first signs of war were beginning to appear on the old continent, with the possibility of a ''world war'' discussed, but the New World would enjoy peace for now.
It came to light that, unsurprisingly, Norlund expected to be recompensated for help in overthrowing, what they were told was, a dictatorial regime, said recompense being a plot of land in the New World. Despite the transaction never occuring, this "grand deception" caused the representatives of the other member states of the FSA to lose their shit, and act rashly to punish the "rogue" Norlish state.
 
===A New Dawn===
Norlund was removed from the FSA leadership channels immediately while the rest of the FSA discussed what the hell just happened. Due to this alleged violation of FSA principles, a third and final vote was called to kick them out, this time passing unanimously. Mainland Cantina disavowed the actions of Dama, effectively cooling down the looming war with the IF to nothing at all. A disgraced 1drop hurriedly left the shard, banished form ever coming back. The IF was properly re-established, with the new addition of FSA membership, although a few of the individual states of the federation had seceded due to the conflict.
 
====The First Days ====
After the expulsion of Norlund, the FSA quickly went about working on civilian developments, with Tukidoki being elected as the first spokesperson of the alliance, and defensive coordinators being under review. Horse tunnels and other infrastructure are currently being built between member states. New World Otonabee and New World Brissur would both clarify their relationships with their old world counterparts, with Otonabee colony (now referred to as '''Gallagher''') declaring itself a distinct legal entity from the newly forged Otona-Varathia <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ikbrgr/announcing_the_unification_of_nations_and_the/</ref>, and Brissur colony declaring it's independence as '''Polaria''' after Brissur<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ik6ywn/polaria_gains_independence_brissur_takes_over/</ref> was admitted to the [[Carbon]] Hegemony.
