Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir

The Vastallosi Alliance of Western Rathnir (abbreviated the VAWR) is an alliance of independent and sovereign nations on the continent of Vastallos and nearby lands. The alliance welcomes all minor nations and strongly opposes imperialist conquest and warfare in the West.

Founding
The alliance formed originally from the minor nations on Vastallos (Formerly Alteniquia Minor) at the Grand Meeting Hall at Carvay. The nations of The Blessed Diarchy of Neos Knossos, The Serene Republic of Carvay, The Chiefdom of Kawalapua, and The Holy City of Stensta, along with The Altepetl of Tlahatl (formerly the VIR Territory of Tlahatl), and the Lordship of Volandia were present. These 6 nations were invited by Neos Knossos and Carvay to form a defensive union to ensure all members' independence and sovereignty from external and internal forces, and to prevent colonization by any Eastern empires. Meeting on October 15, 2020, the Alliance was ratified at 10:22 AM EST.

The ideals upheld by the Alliance are the sovereignty, independence, and security of all nations in the West. The Alliance seeks to resolve disputes through negotiations and diplomacy, rather than through conflict, but is prepared to defend itself should it be attacked. Due to an abundance of small city states, and the constant expansion westward by the empires of the east, in order to defend themselves the nations of the Vastallos region created the alliance. Any Western nation may join this alliance, and no one nation, or person shall speak for the alliance.

Activity
On October 21, the Alliance was declared to the world.

The 7th member of the Alliance, The Corporate Union of Masons (then known as Cobblework Mines), was invited shortly after. The membership of The Corporate Union of Masons was ratified on Friday, October 23.

The 8th member, The Kingdom of Sironia, was welcomed into the alliance on November 14, 2020, formerly sponsored by Carvay. On the same day, Carvay announced the annexation of Neos Knossos into its republic, reducing the member nation count of the alliance by one. Also on the same day, it was agreed that due to the lack of activity from the members of Stensta, they would no longer be a voting member of the alliance, although they always retain the option of taking back their seat if they return. Ironically, the activities of this day technically reduced the member nation count of the alliance back to its original six.

Currently, The Empire of Uldarash (sponsored by Tlahatl) and The Republic of Bardonia (sponsored by Carvay) are pending approval to join the Alliance.
