The United Alliance is an organized clan lead by ostrich1414. Co-founded by ostrich1414 and JavelinFury in May of 2017, the clan has grown substantially and has seen many changes in its infrastructure and ideology. The United Alliance, or UA as it is more commonly known as, intends on remaining a self-sufficient and friendly clan, open to relationships both within the UA and out and has plans to spread influence through the foundation of new communities and the restoration of old bases.

The Mission

The Mission of the United Alliance is simple, as stated in this list:

• To create and retain friendly and meaningful relationships with those supportive of the clan, both within and outside of the UA.
• To found new communities on SimPvP, in varying locations, to strengthen the influence of the UA and to spread its server-wide presence.
• To restore and maintain older or existing communities or bases, allowing them to once again grow and prosper in the name of the UA.
• To serve as a leader in creativity and individuality, never barring one's ideas or inspirations.
• To retain and remember the many events and occurrences on SimPvP, meticulously documenting its rich history so that nothing is lost and so future players can enjoy and learn from its past.

History

The Remembrance

The foundation of the United Alliance began in the City of Quinsigamond, which was under construction at the time. A memorial city built atop a Mushroom Island not far from spawn, the intentions of Quinsigamond were simple: to create a city that would stand as a living memorial to the many long-time players of SimPvP and its rich history. More notably, the city was heavily influenced by the work of pippenger, a player who had created a massive amount of bases throughout the server, later departing on a year-and-a-half-long hiatus. As a mentor and an inspiration to ostrich1414, this instilled in him a desire to build the city, serving as a memorial to pippenger, using his style of Imperial Architecture. Though ambitious, ostrich1414 had no intentions of creating an empire after Quinsigamond's completion - this would change very quickly.

Ostrich1414 was eventually joined by longtime ally and friend JavelinFury, who frequently assisted him at Quinsigamond, as well as a few other members within the city. As the city neared completion, and the finishing touches were being made, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury were beginning to realize that the goal of Quinsigamond could be the focus of an organization, and applied to the server as a whole, rather than one single city. Thus, as the city was completed in May of 2017, a new movement was created: "The Remembrance", as JavelinFury called it. The two co-founders began to take this new team seriously, recruiting many of their allies as they planned to further their efforts and begin the creation of a capital city.

Monarchia and the Reformation

After much surveying and plotting for a new location to build the capital city for the Remembrance, one was eventually found: an area comprised of a plains biome, an extreme hills biome, and a birch forest. As the virgin soil was penetrated and construction began, the City of Monarchia was born: the Monarch City of the Remembrance. Influenced by Aggersel, Monarchia was to be a massive city divided by various unique districts, each created by different players. An ambitious project, it began to come to fruition as work on the city commenced and many more players were recruited and brought to the city to work.

In June of 2017, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury received a big surprise: pippenger returned to SimPvP, ending his long hiatus. Due to his return, this made the intentions of Quinsigamond and the Remembrance obsolete, as both focuses were mainly inspired by pippenger's longtime departure from the server. Pippenger, now using his alt Porkington, criticized the name and focus of the Remembrance, citing that they should be looking into the future, not just limiting themselves to the past. After much deliberation and a shift of focus, the Remembrance went through a reformation that would prove to be crucial. Their name was changed, now known as the "United Alliance", and offered more realistic, ambitious goals. Along with these changes came many more, including the recruiting process, a shift in hierarchy, and city/town production.

The Spread of the UA

Now with a sharper focus, the new United Alliance began efforts to restore multiple existing bases that had been destroyed or fell into disrepair whilst simultaneously creating new bases. Receiving new recruits to make these goals easier, ostrich1414 and JavelinFury decided it would be helpful to allow members to lead these efforts by assigning them specific cities to command, which in turn allowed the UA to be more flexible and to shy away from a dictatorship or a one-command party. As these efforts increased, many cities, which had previously been badly damaged or greifed, were once again returning to their former glory and being fully restored and maintained.
