Revision as of 19:20, 27 August 2010

0rizen Nation is the logical step in the evolution of 0rizen's history. The 0rizenese population has been thriving in a democracy, overlooked by politicaly different Alliances since its inception. Now, the 0rizenese population is proud to be their own masters, and building up their numbers in a democratic way of life.

0RN is currently looking for more Corporations to strengthen its position in Wicked Creek and to further expand its territory.

History

Alliance Creation

Through deliberations inside the 0rizen Corporation, consensus has been achieved to create our own Alliance. Thus, 0rizen Nation was born on the 25th of November, 2009.

Wicked Creek Settlement

Triumvirate. Era

As of January 18th 2010, 0RN has acquired full Wicked Creek Resident Status. From this date on, migration efforts have been pushed so that the entire 0RN population (except 0RUS) migrates and settles down into Wicked Creek.

Twin Paradox's Departure

On January 30th 2010, Twin Paradox Corporation left 0rizen Nation. Twin Paradox, a Wormhole based corporation, could not benefit from the 0RN Structure and they did not want to move to 0.0. Alliance Tax without Alliance Services was redundant, so TWPAR left.

Poltergeist. War

As of 2010.01.22 21:54 EVE Time, 0rizen Nation is at war with Poltergeist. Corporation. When Yllej Gniht asked Poltergeist.'s CEO Cosmic Cowboy the reasons why there was a War declared on 0RN, the reasons specified looked random and without any cause. 0RN will adress this war just like any other; with the utmost seriousness.

On 2010.02.07 16:50 EVE Time, Poltergeist. Corporation retracted their war. Due to what looks like a bad timing CONCORD billed them for 3 weeks of war even though only 2 weeks and a few days were used by Poltergeist. 0rizen Nation had 27 non-capsule losses against 1 for Poltergeist. However, only one real planned out fleet was orchestrated against Poltergeist., granting 0rizen the upper hand in the war, for a total loss of 271 millions for Poltergeist. on a single ship. 0RN also got the capsule of that pilot, possibly destroying over 100 million ISK's worth of implants in that clone. Estimated losses of 0RN are at 570 millions while Poltergeist. losses are at 271 millions. However, due to Poltergeist. having to pay CONCORD 150 millions for 3 weeks of war, 0RN did not lose this war by much.

After 3 weeks of war, Poltergeist. tried to ransom 0RN for 425 millions in the begining, and 325 millions near the end. 0RN never paid, and no reason was given by Poltergeist. for the war.

Rectification by Cosmic Cowboy

While the rest of the facts on your evewiki page [about the war] are correct, we did not pay three bills, only two. The third was cancelled due to us calling the war off before bill was due in.

ATLAS Takeover

The Wicked Creek Region was controlled and maintained by Triumvirate. Alliance. With the war ranging in the North, TRI left to ATLAS the responsibility of Wicked Creek. 0RN Secured its agreements with ATLAS and will start paying rent to ATLAS on the 1st of March, 2010.

Sovereign Nation

On 2010.02.10 07:55 EVETime, 0rizen Nation became Sovereign in the JEQG-7 System. This is the first step into a walk that should bring 0RN into being Sovereign in many more systems.

JEQG-7 System

Infrastructure Hub Installation

On 2010.03.10 02:31 EVETime, 0RSI anchored an Infrastructure Hub in the name of 0rizen Nation. This Infrastructure Hub was part of a package of 2, bought from Black Swan., former resident of Wicked Creek.

With this new addition to the home system of JEQG-7, 0rizen Nation guarantees a golden future to its population.

0RI-OV System

Sovereignty has been attained in the 0RI-OV System, thus providing a wider expanse of space to the pilots of 0rizen Nation. The installation of an Infrastructure Hub in the system should follow as soon as possible.

APEXC Leaves the Alliance

On July 17th, 2010, Apex Consortium left 0rizen Nation. The main reason behind their departure was that a general concensus of their pilots wanted to have more PvP opportunities, probably like in Faction Warfare. APEXC has been with 0rizen Nation for more than 3 months, benefitting from the 0.0 Sovereign Space of the Alliance. All of 0rizen Nation waves to them goodbye and wishes them good luck in their future endeavours; unless they join an enemy force, 0rizen Nation will always stay friendly to APEXC.

INQUISITION. War

As of 2010.06.30 22:44 EVE Time, 0rizen Nation is at war with INQUISITION. Alliance. This war has come as a complete surprise to 0rizen Nation. However, further analysis of the last months of INQUISITION. suggests that their latest unexpected growth gave them somewhat of a morale boost. From what we have seen so far, we understand that they want to score kills on our easy targets, the 0RUS Pilots.

Some INQUISITION. Pilots also have been hanging AFK-Cloaked in our Sovereign Systems with Stealth Bombers, Recons and Tech III Ships. Their usual tactics is to hang there for hours AFK, and then striking a lone unwary target once in a while.

The one week break

Between 2010.08.18 06:02 and 2010.08.25 09:04, INQUISITION. retracted their war. No reason was given for the retraction, and no reason was given for the new war declaration.

Pandemic Legion's Siege

As of 2010.07.08, Pandemic Legion holds Sovereignty and Outpost Control over the 1V-LI2 System. Furthermore, they have been attacking and taking Outpost Systems all over Scalding Pass, destroying many Alliances like Cult of War, Gentlemen's Club, G String University, Honorouable Templum of Alcedonia, Primary., and so on.

The sheer military strength of Pandemic Legion, fielding many times up to 6 Titan-class Ships, is unsettling. Their fleets have been destroying Corporations and Alliances out of Scalding Pass, Wicked Creek and Insmother. The only other superpower that could possibly stop them, ATLAS, has shown no sign of retaliation so far.

0rizen Nation is currently waiting to see what will happen between these superpowers. Our systems is near the pipe that separates key Solar Systems for them both, and we are waiting to see who will emerge victorious.

Political Structure

Representative Democracy

Through intense deliberations inside the 0rizen Corporation, it has been decided that the Alliance Level Political Structure would be a representative democracy. Moreover, we chose a presidential system, or something as close as possible to that, as allowed by the CCP Mechanics and the relative movement of capsuleers.

How a Law is made

The Executor can propose a Law to Congeress or a Congressman can propose one as well. After that, Congress needs to vote on it and obtain a strong majority (66%) vote for it to be accepted.

When a Law has been approved by Congress, the Executor signs the Law for it to be official. Once it has been made, the Tribunal makes sure that this Law is enforced.

Switch from Bicameralism to Unicameralism

By 2010.08.23, 0rizen Nation has switched from Bicameralism to Unicameralism. Reasons for this are to simplify Congress and to speed up its decision making.

Alliance Divisions

0rizen Nation is composed of the 0rizen Executor Corporation, its 3 Daughter Corporations and the other corporations that have joined our ranks since our inception.

0rizen Recruitment Unit and Support [0RUS]

This is 0rizen Nation's university, where beginning pilots can join and learn the ropes of being in a large alliance. There, they can learn the skills necessary to join 0rizen, or any other corporation. These 0RUS capsuleers only have 3 months to train up; after that, they need to either have the required skills to join 0rizen, or must depart to some other ventures.

0rizen Shipyards and Innovations [0RSI]

This is effectively the heart and soul of the Science and Industry strength of 0rizen Nation. In there, only the most dedicated Science and Industry capsuleers can be recruited from the 0rizen Executor Corporation.

0rizen Navy [0NAVY]

This is the PvP focused division of 0rizen Nation. Any pilot who has dedicated his training towards combat is encouraged to join this division. This corporation effectively replaces 0SWAT.
