How Alliances Work

A country's president can create an alliance on-chain via the CountryFactory contract. Alliances support up to 3 member countries. Only the president (top token holder including staked balance) of a country can manage alliance membership.

Invite / Accept Flow

1. The president of a country creates an alliance (on-chain transaction)
2. The alliance creator invites another country's president
3. The invited country's president accepts the invite to join
4. Repeat to invite a third country (max 3 members total)
5. Any member's president can leave the alliance at any time

Note: Invites have a cooldown period. Leaving also has a cooldown before re-joining is possible.

Nuke Voting in Alliances

When the top alliance by combined market cap holds the nuke-launch privilege:

• Each member's president votes on a target country
• Votes are weighted by each member's market cap share in the alliance
• A target must receive >50% weight to be selected
• If no consensus is reached, no nuke fires for that epoch
• Alliances cannot nuke a member country

Visual Indicators

• Allied countries display a golden border on the globe
• Alliance info appears in the country panel and leaderboard entries
• The top alliance is highlighted in the nuke countdown indicator

Disbanding

An alliance is disbanded when all members leave or the alliance drops below 1 member. Once disbanded, a new alliance must be created from scratch. Disbanding is irreversible.
