====== Free Peoples Alliance (FPA) ======
A trade and defense pact led by the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:republic_of_agathos|Republic of Agathos]] before the [[polemos:8th_age:events:long_war_timeline|Long War]]. Before the outbreak of war with the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:usc|USC]] in AE238, the FPA was outwardly considered the primary counter-balance for [[polemos:8th_age:philosophies:freoismos|liberal]] nations to protect against unionist and USC influence. Within the organization accusations of dysfunction were rife, however. Smaller nations considered it primarily a vehicle for Agathonian hegemony, and Agathos was frequently frustrated at the difficulty at achieving consensus and often acted unilaterally against the other members. Upon the actual declaration of war many states refused the invocation of the mutual defense clause, and left the organization in an attempt to remain neutral. This along with the collapse of Agathos into civil war caused the alliance to quickly become defunct, though some factions such as the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:senate|Senate]] would cling to it's official existence until the time of re-unification.

The FPA was formally dissolved and replaced upon the formation of the [[polemos:8th_age:factions:lida|Liberty and Independence Defense Alliance]].
