North Atlantic Treaty Organization

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, acronymized as NATO, OTAN, or НАТО is a defensive military alliance consisting of most of Europe and Canada. The alliance has the strongest military in the world, capable of rivaling the American Sphere.

            When the United States left NATO, there was a major power vacuum within the alliance. Germany was chosen to fill in most of what the United States left, becoming the de facto leader of the alliance.

            As more European countries began to join NATO in fear of both the Union of Sovereign Republics and the United States, they began to mobilize in preparation for a two-front war, one against the USR and one against the US.

            However, when the US threatened to annex Canada and Greenland, while subjugating the rest of Europe, NATO began to focus their military on the US-Canadian border, fortifying it and preparing for an attack. However, they knew they weren’t going to last very long against the strongest military on Earth.

In 2006, NATO made a very tough decision to invite the Union of Sovereign Republics to the alliance. Surprisingly, the USR joined, immediately stationing half of their army on the US-Canadian border and equalizing what would otherwise be an unfair playing field.

With both sides fearing a war against each other that could inevitably lead to nuclear warfare, they both entered a Cold War.
