If alliances were countries....
what would each country be?
(I can so imagine world politics in terms of alliances...)
the U.S.A. has to be something like Legion.
I'm pretty sure that Dragons would be linked with either Romania (...obviously), or, if you're not on their side, probably the middle east
"So WW2 rite? France had incs 24/7, and allied defence was totally out, so they did a Phraktos "
Edit: Ascendancy would have to be some sort of "A-Team"-type freedom fighter group.

Re: If alliances were countries....
Wolfpack (in current configuration) would be something along the lines of Canada, and old wolfpack would be more like Iran.
Asc would be similar to Wales.

Re: If alliances were countries....
Nos would be switzerland, nap all and pretend their nose is bleeding
eXilition & 1up (in the rounds they were dominant) would have been like nazi germany in may 1940, completly overpowering their opponents
Angels would be Russia, ****ing strong but never living up to their full potential due to internal struggles

Re: If alliances were countries....
Germany: 1up (Dominating till messing up with Russia)
Russia: eXilition (Strongest military, taking out the biggest threat)
USA: Fury (Big and controlling the universe)
Canada: Legion (smaller influence than USA)
Finland: Omen (Small, elitist military country)
France: Angels (Losing first :P)
Greece: Ascendancy ("Until now we would say that the Greeks fight like heroes. From now on we will say that heroes fight like Greeks" - Winston Churchill)
Italy: ND (puppets of Germany, but not strong enough)
Japan: CT (Getting nuked)
I am at work, so will edit later from home for better descriptions/more countries

Re: If alliances were countries....
So who gets to compete with the Iraqi Information Minister? "We are winning!" "The Iraqi troops and the Iraqi fighters are in control of all the places, as we have witnessed. No big change in that. We are fighting against them." "Iraqi forces are still in control of the city, and they are engaging in an attrition war with the enemy" "We besieged them and killed most of them, and I think we will finish them soon." etc.

Didn't Angels actually win a round? Round 10.5 was it? Or was that FAnG? But yeah, a most excellent comparison!

nah.
Fury: Old school Great Britain. Amazing military, but dependent on their all knowing, massive leader...
Legion: Present day USA. strong army, brilliant, but never reaching their potential due to personal gain on the expense on the general member.

I'd have thought we would be the mongols, for obvious reasons.
