Free Peoples Alliance (FPA)

The Free Peoples Alliance began as a trade agreement between the Republic of Agathos and Umere that specified that in exchange to Umere's extensive trade routes levy-free, Agathos would organize it's military forces to help defend those same routes from other, more aggressive powers. This trade-for-protection exchange was then repeated to include much of the major powers of Polus. With much of the non-USC industrialized world in their fold they quickly rose to be one of the few super-powers, capable of projecting their power around the globe to support their ideology and interests.
