Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

The Democratic Republic of Lewisdale is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare

Lewisdale was at one time the height of civilization and then there was a rebellion against the technology that made all of the citizens lazy and aphetic. There was a revolt and all non essential technologies were banned and over the next 200 years the nation digressed back to that of the late Iron Age. This began to change when visitors from other lands began to come to out land to trade and explore, believing there was no formal government. They were surprise to find a Utopian society. Equalism was the unwritten law, there was no war, and the evils of society like poverty and misery were all extinct. There are few laws, since all was done for the good of everyone. Over the years the influence of outsiders has created a rift in the nation. The elders who want to maintain the “old ways” and the newer generations who want to explore and find out what is out there. There have been concessions due to the outbreaks of illness contracted from the outsiders so any medical technologies are not frowned upon. Over the past 100 years Lewisdale is becoming more like a post modern nation. After an expedition in to the interior found that there is a large natural cave system that was rich with Vibranium. This element that has only been found in one other area in the world has very strange properties. Though as yet unknown means can absorb heat and kinetic energy in its vicinity, and when bonded with other materials it becomes nearly indestructible. Since the first man found the element, it was believed to be just plain rock heated from the geothermic conduction. Many elders and older generations also thought it to be left overs from volcanic activity thousands of years ago. Only 10 years ago as a group of scientists were exploring the system was a very interesting discovery made. There were and still are many animals that exist in the caves that have been found nowhere else, and the scientists were trying to take live specimens out and were using a cryogenic process to preserve the animals in special containment units. One of the containment units was damaged and began to spew forth nitrogen the reacted with the Vibranium and caused it to soften. It was found that Vibranium needed constant heat energy to maintain its hardened state. It has now been used to create some of the most amazing structures ever seen. Scientists and engineers from other nearby nations have been working on ways to create machines that can withstand the pressures of deep sea exploration, as well as space. As the only know deposit for this element it has thrust Lewisdale into international trade. In a very short time the nation has become on par with many of it so called more technological neighbors. The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas to find more Vibranium deposits.

Over the years Lewisdale has become a ” Capitalist Paradise” since the formal government allows any citizen to sell, or trade there private Vibranium deposits to any nation, as long as any new technology is also given to the government for decimation to the general public and the citizen can keep and monies or non new technologies for them selves . (Ex we already have say the newest computer tech so if a citizen then barters for some computers that have this technology, the government will do nothing but sign off on the trade, but if say a citizen is given a formula for a vaccine for a aliment not cured yet in Lewisdale, the government will get the formula and the citizen can keep money from the sale of the Vibranium and the profits of the sale of the drug, if any. I say if any because if it is like say cancer or something that kills, it is for the betterment of all so the citizen would give it freely anyway. If it is some cough medicine or anti-wrinkle cream, then the profits are all the citizens.

Now obviously not every single citizen has a deposit in there back yard, there is a divide in the “wealth” of the people of Lewisdale, but all people are given basic necessities, food, shelter, a job, and the free time to enjoy entertainment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43%. Income is only defined as what a citizen make in the nation. Any deals made in another nation are not subject to Tax. This is becoming an problem since the entire nation is now wired for Internet access and the Net has not been formally recognized as a “place”

The definition of a citizen is one who has completed what the basis of a formal education. Lewisdalians have tailored the education system to reflect that of many of their neighbors. A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway Formal education is completed at age 22. For six years (16-22) Lewisdalians are only allowed to attend school at the University on the banks of Lake Minnetonka. Since food shelter and education are taken care of some students still want more, especially after learning what other things are out there. Since they can not have jobs they have turned to other ways to make money. Students make ends meet by selling their kidneys and other organs for tickets to visit the other nations during breaks. A very small percentage of students get that drastic. Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region.


New species are being found in the extensive cave system and are taken by other nations for study, but the Lewisdalians are believers in a harmonic balance with nature and Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed. Arms manufacturing is becoming a leading industry since many nations want to use the properties of Vibranium for military purposes. Gambling has become big thing since the introduction of Satellite TV and the viewing of other nations sport teams.


With the decision to join the Global Right Alliance (GRA), Lewisdale has been thrust into many new decisions, such as war and politics.
