 Overview

The Axis Alliance, the Axis Powers, or simply the Axis, is a disputed small faction/alliance. It is best known for its retention of Shadow Epoch style elitism and its past conflict with the LBP Union.

History

Shadow Epoch

First Axis Alliance of Powers

The Axis Alliance was first formed under the name of the "Axis Alliance of Powers" in 2011 by Armageddon Empire leaders Jukewannabe and Birdman_Jay- as an alliance between all the major clans of LBP. Birdman used the alliance to begin a campaign to destroy all 'noob' clans on LittleBigPlanet, and declared his project World War 1. Known clans of the Axis were the Armageddon Empire, Lightning Army, Green Assassins, Red Eagle Army, and most likely others. Its leader, RekliSnipes, allegedly was dragging the alliance into numerous wars. Annoyed by this, Juke supposedly sent a member of the Axis, Polarlab, to seek out AMKA-IRONHIDE. AMKA had been known for his rebellion, Anti-Red Eagle Army and might have been the key to defeating REA. Polar left Armageddon Empire to set up a temporary force called Blue Hawk Army to counter the Red Eagle Army, and Jukewannabe supposedly supplied Polar behind Birdman's back, as Birdman was a supporter of the REA. Amka refused to aid Polar, and Birdman eventually found out about Polar's plans at the last minute and defeated him in an unknown form of combat and exiled him from Armageddon Empire, effectively ending the attempt to destroy the Axis clan. Polar claimed to perform espionage on REA to learn more about their weaknesses, and began planning his next move with Amka. Amka now was willing to assist Polar in his plans. Pulling a team of AE members out of the clan to assist him, Polar reformed Anti-Red Eagle Army and gathered his forces. Emblazia and Akatsuki allegedly stepped in to assist Polar as well. Birdman immediately declared war on the hostile alliance, which posed a threat to their ally in the Axis. The Axis and AREA quarreled for some time before Jukewannnabe felt that Polar had proven he could hold his own and decided to leave AE with half of its members to form Blood Star Republic. Birdman allegedly felt that he was incapable of assisting REA in the war now that Armageddon Empire had lost half of its members, and kept AE neutral. BSA joined the AREA alliance and assisted in the fight against the Axis with the intent of defeating Red Eagle Army. AREA intended to take on the other members of the Axis first, allies of REA, to eliminate REA's support. Soon Lightning Army and Green Assassins were supposedly eliminated by AREA, and then REA allegedly surrendered after two more weeks of fighting.[1] The first Axis is presumed to have fallen after this conflict.

Second Axis Alliance of Powers

First Reformation

The Axis Alliance was reformed by Lord President PolarisPhaedra in early 2014 with several clans at its back. Polaris was eager for more clans to join his cause, and contacted M88youngling to discuss talks about the Axis' relationship with the LittleBigPlanet Union. Polaris began the talks by suggesting that the Union become a member state of the Axis. M88youngling was threatened by this, interpreting Polaris' suggestion as if Polaris saw the LBP Union as simply another clan. Not wanting to put the Union under Polaris' control, M88youngling refused the offer and denied alliance-style relations with the Axis. The Axis fell dormant for a few months, developing later during the end leg of the RU/LBPU War. [2]

The Axis / LBPU Conflict

After the defeat of the Remnants Union in the RU/LBPU War in the late spring of 2014, RU President XFinal_IsaacX sought Polaris' aid. Being friends with Isaac, Polaris heard Isaac's side of the story and became wary of the LBP Union. If the LBP Union had defeated the Remnants Union, this made them a threat to the Axis. Equally alarming was word of a possible Red Skull Republic infiltration designed to destroy the Axis. Polaris was not aware however that the entire story was a ruse created by the then RSR leader HomocidalChicken to scare Polaris as a joke. Fearing the RSR more than the LBPU, Polaris sought out the LBPU for aid, threatening war if they did not help him stop the RSR's plans. President M88youngling refused, unaware of the situation at the time. This prompted Polaris to begin finding partners to rally against the Union, contacting the United Clans Federation to declare war. This was a short lived and redacted declaration, but the Axis again challenged the Union soon after. However, the Axis could not keep up the momentum of its challenge and failed to challenge the Union further.

New Administration

Lord President PolarisPhaedra resigned from his position, leaving Dark_J_Romero in charge. Polaris also regarded Head of Propaganda TheFemaleAlpaca and Lord Vice President Nick_C11 to be "out of commission for good."[3] Sometime later, Romero resigned and the Axis was plunged into an electoral limbo. Clans began to bicker and fight over the right for the seat of Lord President, and the alliance crumbled. [2]

Operation Lunar Storm

The Axis made a return represented by PolarisPhaedra during the Judgement conflict in the fall of 2014. Polaris agreed to participate in the coalition against the rising Judgement organization, however he participated in very few strategic meetings with the other members of the coalition. It is believed that the Axis was not actually under his control at this time due to their lack of activity. Polaris briefly made a plea during the planning of Operation Arrowhead to not target Jukewannabe's "Battle Planet Syria" level for grief reporting. While not targeted, the level was still believed to have been deleted by moderators after the operation to get Juke's Reichstag level deleted. [2]

2017 Reformation and Dispute

In the summer of 2017, the Axis was reformed by LBP_Savior-_-, also known as Louis218v. Louis quickly began to garner community attention by spam posting recruitment levels for the Axis repeatedly, causing the newest levels pages to be flooded with Axis propaganda aimed at 'saving LBP.' This attracted a very negative response from the community at large.[4][5] The negative attention Louis received allowed him to gain a few members for his cause such as TheManWhoLaughzZ. However, Louis interpreted TheManWhoLaughzZ aid as an attempt to control the faction and quickly moved to announce his opposition to him. This also attracted the attention of another party interested in control of the Axis. This party, believed to be headed by the Voltorian Empire, a former Axis state, seeks to take control of the Axis. The current state of the Axis' control currently is disputed between the two groups, one side composed of Louis, and the other side with Tomboy2011, FirebirdPayton, and TheManWhoLaughzZ.

Demographics

Population

Shadow Epoch

The population and member states of the Axis Alliance during the Shadow Epoch is not known.

2014 Reformation

The Axis during this time was moderately sized. Various clans were part of the pact, but few participated. The following is a list of clans that were members of the Axis Alliance following the 2014 reformation including their representatives,[6]

Most of these clans at the time were attempted reformations of past clans, such as the Fallen Republic and Turan Empire. These Axis states had very few members and contributed very little. Others, such as the National Kürist Party were small startup states that were used to allow leaders to take part in the Fascist Party. The larger, more original clans of the Axis were still relatively small and had very small contributions to the cause. As such, the Axis during this time was very unstable and unable to support its ambitious attempts to oppose the Union.

2017 Reformation

The Axis in the present day is currently disputed between two factions of unknown size.

Language

The Axis predominately has spoken English in all of its iterations.

Government

The government of the Axis is historically fascist. Its 2014 reformation had very specific rules and systems that established two main government bodies: the Fascist Council and the Fascist Party.[6]

The Fascist Council

The Fascist Council was made up of clan representatives, one from each clan. Representatives are appointed by each clan to give them a vote on what actions the Axis Alliance can take. Essentially, they are the primary checking force for the Fascist Party.[6]

The Fascist Party

The Fascist Party of the Axis

The ideally 36 member Party controlled the entire Axis, being able to enforce its rules, mobilize it for war and to engage in diplomacy with other groups. The Fascist Party is set up in a hierarchical system of roles. Each role has a specific responsibility and level of power in the Party and the Axis.[6]

Lord President

"The President of the Fascist Party is a figure of leadership in the alliance. He is also head of the Fascist Council. He can veto any laws passed by the council that he doesn't deem fit"[6].

The first Lord President of the reformed Axis alliance was PolarisPhaedra, followed by Dark_J_Romero of the Dark Sky Empire. After this, an election took place that failed to replace the Lord President position officially. Polaris handled most of of the Axis' affairs and diplomacy with the LittleBigPlanet Union.

Lord Vice President

"The Vice President is a fill in for the President during times of absense[sic] or leave. The Vice President is a loyal individual"[6].

The Lord Vice President during this time was Nick_C11, representative of the Silentium Contra at the time. It is not known what contributions he made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Secret Service

"Head of Secret Service leads the alliance police force. He can convict members of treason without council consent, he is also the president's head bodyguard"[6].

AlderGoterresint (AKA Huntsman007) of the Blackguard was the Head of Secret Service in the summer of 2014.[6] It is not known what contributions he made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Diplomacy

"Head of Diplomacy handles foreign affairs. He accepts new clans into the alliance aswell[sic] as forms relationships with allies and enemies"[6].

The Head of Diplomacy in the summer of 2014 was Hime-Tears09 from an unknown Axis state. It is not known what contributions he/she made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Punishment

"Head of Punishment deals with alliance troublemakers and spys[sic]. He has the ability to kick members without council consent[6].

TheBruceys was the Head of Punishment during this time from an unknown Axis state. It is not known what contributions he made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Technology

"Head of Technology produces alliance tech and logiic, but he must have council consent on what to make"[6].

xAMKAx was the Head of Technology during this time from an unknown Axis state. It is not known what contributions he made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Propaganda

"Head of Propaganda creates artwork and stickers for the Alliance. He must have council consent on what to make"[6].

TheFemaleAlpaca was the Head of Propaganda during this time from an unknown Axis state. It is not known what contributions he/she made to the alliance in this position.

Head of Military and Defense

"Head of Military and Defense leads the alliance's armies into battle. He cannot do any military actions without council consent. Only if the President implements martial law, then and only then can he do it without council consent"[6]

Dark_J_Romero from the Dark Sky Empire was the Head of Military and Defense during the summer of 2014. It is not known what contributions he made to the alliance in this position.

Laws

The Axis had a set of rules that it required all members and member states to follow to retain membership in the alliance.

  • "All clans entered into the alliance must be loyal. Insubordination is not tolerated."
  • "Each clan in the Alliance is protected therefore one clan's war is every clan in the Alliance's war. This exempts pacifist and political clans."
  • "You can join as a member and have a job with a rank or you can become a representative for your clan."
  • "H4H, P4P, and Y4Y are prohibited within the alliance."
  • "Trades with other Axis clans are permitted. Trades with clans outside the Axis [are] prohibited."
  • "Respect all Axis enforcers and higher ranked party members."
  • "All Axis actions must be voted on by clan reps before they are initiated."*
  • "Be proud of your alliance, negativity will get you kicked!"[6]

*Some exceptions can be noted in the Fascist Party's department heads.

Goals

The government of the reformed Axis in 2014 was fueled by six goals.

  1. "Achieve power in the community."
  2. "Reduce the spread of communism and socialism."
  3. "Destroy all opposition and looming threats."
  4. "Become better creators and express ideas through levels and creations."
  5. "Rebuild the LBP community."
  6. "Promote world balance and order."[6]

Foreign Relations and Military

The Axis had alliances with the Remnants Union and the United Clans Federation. However, the Axis regarded the United Clans Federation by the name of the United Communist Federation. This suggests a mistake on the Axis' part or a change in name by the UCF. Either way, this poses a contradiction to the second goal of the Axis: to reduce the spread of communism and socialism.[6]

The 2014 instance of the Axis is known to have compelled its member states to assist in wartime. However, the actual ability of the Axis to mobilize forces is not known. The Axis was not able to mobilize any of its forces to oppose the LittleBigPlanet Union during the Axis/LBPU Conflict.

Culture and Style

Axis soldiers salute to the flag of the Alliance.

The Axis is very darkly themed, much like the elitist standard set in the Shadow Epoch. The Axis has historically upheld elitism and grant more power and respect to those who can create more skillfully in the style than others. It models after fascist powers in both World Wars such as Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and others.

Due to its fascist nature, the Axis was very focused on creating resources that would promote their image of jingoism and collective power. This spawned a multitude of propaganda posters and levels to promote the alliance.

At one point, Lord President PolarisPhaedra published a film for the Axis depicting and dramatizing the Axis/LBPU Conflict. The movie depicted themes such as the Axis' view of the LBP Union's creative inability, the struggle against sloth in the community, their perceived threat of furries, and more. The movie concluded with the LBP Union's victory. Oddly, the film also included a Soviet style clan that was not known to be active during this time. The film was deleted, making further research on it difficult.

Infrastructure

The Axis was known to have some sort of Facebook community, as suggested by a screenshot uploaded by Dark_J_Romero of Lord President PolarisPhaedra's resignation and appointment of the new administration.
