Alliance of Latin American Nations

The Alliance of Latin American Nations, or ALAN for short, is one of the major factions of NotW2.

It started near the beggining of the game as ASAN (Alliance of South American Nations) after being proposed by Brazil (Played by Pokarnor). At its foration, it consisted of every South American nation except for Venezaula, which eventually joined after seeing ASAN's success.

After several seasons, ASAN expanded into ALAN, now consisting of every American nation except for Mexico, Cuba, and ineligible nations (US & Canada). Mexico eventually joined after seeing ALAN's success, and after a revolution, Cuba did too.

ALAN provides mutual defense for all of its members through an alliance-wide defensive pact. It also currently runs a joint lunar colony on which research and mining occur. ALAN has a policy of taxing its members based off of their income. Nations making $50B-$300B pay $50B a turn, nations making $350B-$600B a turn pay $100B a turn, and nations making more than that pay $150B a turn. These taxes go to a mutual ALAN fund, which may only be used through an ALAN vote. ALAN has also passed a Notification of War Act, making it so that a member must notify ALAN 3 months in advance if it intends to declare war.
