Introduction
The LBPU is only known aliance on LBP. The goals of the LBPU is to unite groups in a strong bond to improve LBP. Groups and clans can collaborate together to improve their individual
groups and together the Union is much more adapt and tasks such as helping remove H4H, spam, trolls and hostile groups that would otherwise flatten small individual groups. The Union has grown massively now containing over twenty member states. However, the Union has little jurastriction over these clans, it is not an empire and cannot control groups. There are exceptions to this though, for example should a group or individual member of the LBPU perform an act considered against LBP or the LBPU the Union has EVERY right to take action. Depending on the seriousness of those actions the punishment could be anything from a warning, a demotion, a permanant ban from the Union or even a state of war declared. Members and member states can leave the Union at any time they wish, to join they must meet certain simple criteria.
Early Days
The LBPU was
formed by Godman2k7 (Sub-Leader of the H4H BH) in June 2009. Back then the goal of the Union was to create an alliance of Anti-H4H groups (Namedly the three H4H Bounty Hunter groups) with the joint capability to reduce H4H to a level where it cannot harm the LBP servers. In that respect it was a huge success, with H4H never being a serious problem from Fall 2009 onwards. Gradualy the ideologies of the LBPU has evolved to what it is today but it remains a zero tolerance aproach to H4H and other Anti-LBP practices. As construction of the Union HQ began some of the first groups began to join the H4H Bounty Hunters including the Agents, CRO, the Hawks, the AHG and other familiar faces. War was not a major issue in formation of the Union, members were loyal to their groups and united in the war on H4H, and the member states were all part of the original friend circle. Aside from the odd rebelion or war between member states the Union remained very united until the First Union Civil War in November 2009, dictated by scorpitom355 and creating the common rift between the (By this point) two primary groups of the LBPU, the Agents and the BHers.
Union Government
The Union is a democracy that gives its member states freedom rather than control but strickly enforces the laws of the Union. Unfortunatly to protect the continuity and goals of the Union there is a fixed leader. However the people of the Union have the most power to control the government. The sheer size, will and density of the union have caused all terrorism plots to fail. The most well known being the Second Union Civil War, also dictated by scorpitom355. Apart from the President Godman2k7 and the left and right wing Vice Presidents (M88youngling and Shadowman100) there are several branches of the Union government. For example, the Protectors are expirenced, loyal and high ranking members of the Union who are tasked with protecting the integrity and continuity of the Union. Another branch of the Union is the UTF (Union Task Force) which is an elite military branch of the Union on standby in the event of a war. Acceptance into the UTF is from invite only and recruits only the best from Union member states.

Union Policy on War
The Union is in general pro peace however we will fight wars should it be necessary to ensure a better future. The Union will ONLY fight a war if it is justified and and will help LBP. Anti H4H in all its forms is entirely permitted in the Union but we encourage peacefull methods to be tried first. We are strongly against P4P as it has become not only an illogical and counter productive practice but also a weapon of choice for H4Hers and Trolls that seek to damage LBP and/or the LBPU.
End of the Old Union
The LBPU came to a disapointing end in the late summer of 2011 after Godman2k7 resigned from presidency. The future of the position was left to M88 and Shadow to decide. Of course, they fought about it. Shadow reasoned that there shouldn't be a president. M88 on the other hand argued that there had to be one. There seemed to be some sort of CRO coup, whether or not M88 was totally responsible for inviting CRO members into the chat is unknown and forgotten. The Union split into two groups, as can be seen in the now uneditable front page of the wiki. There was the Loyalist Union led by self elected President Godman2k7 and the New Union led by people elected M88youngling. Both Union's collapsed about a month after formation. The Union went dark for several years.
Reformation
The LBPU was reformed by M88youngling on December 14th, 2013 with five leaders signing its constitution into law.
Learning from lessons of the past, President Youngling built a strong foundation for the Union with a constitution and close cabinet. Founding groups were faces like the New California Republic, Lone Wolf Dynasty, Soldier Wolves, and the Brotherhood of Steel. The constitution established the General Assembly and Security Council, run by representatives from each clan whom are not the leader.
As the Union's influence spread to various nations, a small group called the Autobots was invited to join the alliance. They of course agreed, but did not inform the LBPU that they were members of a not well known alliance called the Remnants Union, a socialist democracy led by President XFinal_IsaacX.
Isaac was infuriated that the LBPU had attempted to "steal" the Autobots from the R.U. Unaware initially that the Autobots were members of the R.U, the LBPU attempted to form a diplomatic solution and did not attempt to keep pressuring the Autobots into the LBPU. However, the avalanche had already begun. Weeks later during the debate, the Autobots decided to join the LBP Union as a member state and leave the Remnants Union. This would start a grudge that would drive the Remnants Union's current hostilities even today.
After a domestics incident which led to kicking the Soldier Wolves out of the Union, the Brotherhood of Steel left along with Treynota Wolfpack, drastically decreasing the population of the Union in the process to just eighty million souls. It took a few months but the population count had a resurgence far beyond the past count all the way to 160 million.
After an incident where a government endorsed designer started a prank terrorist organization as a joke, known as the Sa'Reth Rebellion which opposed the Union and modeled itself as a middle eastern styled stereotype group that opposed the west. The Remnants Union accused the LBPU of using the fake organization to make themselves look better and promote racism. In truth the Sa'Reth was not supported by the LBPU government and was ordered to be shut down once the issue was raised. Various attacks on LBPU soil were made along with these accusations. With a lack of a joint defense force to defend the Union, President Youngling was forced to form instant coalitions of forces to defend the Union as R.U attacks came. These were known as the R.U Flamewars, bloody arguments mainly on M88's profile that came with tense ratings and would last for hours each day.
The LBPU coalitions proved victorious in nearly all of these engagements thanks to their unity. The Remnants Union attacks were expensive and made them unpopular with the public. Thus, they were unable to keep up the attacks for very long. The LBPU's support only grew from the attacks. It was also later revealed that President Isaac was seen in a photo dressed as a stereotype middle eastern costume alongside the fake leader of the Sa'Reth, Zurchav Tir, which would suggest that Isaac supported racism himself.
The R.U later put up a level titled, "The Assasination of M88" where a Union Protectors meeting was staged and then a bomb planted by the R.U detonated killing the President and the protectors. M88 being away at the time, used remote communication to roll out the UTF to dispatch the threat. By the time he got back, the level had been moderated. Later Nickalis02 published a level with screenshots of President Youngling saying things such as, "I am using the Union to create my Empire of Evil." The pictures were quickly proven fake and the level was moderated as well. Nickalis later admitted these pictures were fake. The R.U supported the publishing of the level, and thus their support dropped dramatically.
However President Isaac refused to give up. Sometime in April the Union's Domestics Minister I_Keel_You_2001 was removed from office for harassment, bullying and inappropriate behavior. Keel left the Union along with his nation the Lone Wolf Tiger Empire. Union officials convinced his Vice President to leave the LTWE for the Union. which decimated all of Keel's resources. He now stood with a nation of compulsory military service of two million. The name was changed to Lone Wolf Dynasty after the Vice President defected. LWD immediately joined the Remnants Union and with LWD being infamous, the public disliked the R.U even further.
Now the Remnants Union has collapsed after wasting all its momentum on attempting to bring down the LBPU. Now whatever people it still has left have gone to the Axis for refuge.
Later the Axis Alliance, a Union-like group of fascists and nazis under Lord President PolarisPhaedra decided it was time to make their move to try to take over the world, attacking the LBPU. Their attempts were stopped by the LBPU's defenses and the Axis lost its momentum. Polaris was ousted from power and now Lord President Awetfloor remains in charge.
The LBPU now stands at roughly 250 people as of the Summer of 2014
