History

Certain indigenous tribes and former colonial states formed the Alliance in the aftermath of the Mwailian Enlightenment, in order to defend themselves from both Āínkiīaánịạkàì and Sfipsurtop conquest.

Aided by the influence of Thean merchants, the Alliance gave birth to modern capitalism and the industrial revolution in Mwail.
