The History of the IRON Gaming Community

Roots of the IRON Community

 

The IRON Gaming Community was born in an online nation simulation game called Cyber Nations. From the Cyber Nations website: "Cyber Nations is a free persistent browser-based nation simulation game. Create a nation anywhere in the world and decide how you will rule your people by choosing a government type, a national religion, ethnicity, tax rate, currency type, and more in this geo-political nation simulator. Build your empire by purchasing infrastructure to support your citizens, land to expand your borders, technology to increase your nation's effectiveness, military to defend your interests, and develop national improvements and wonders to build your nation according to your choosing."

 

The alliance known as the Independent Republic of Orange Nations (IRON) was initially founded on March 16th, 2006 under the name of "The OD Alliance". The name was changed to the Independent Republic of Orange Nations when the first ruling body (IRON Council) decided to move the alliance to the Orange color sphere in Cyber Nations and IRON formally announced our existence to the Cyber Nations world on April 28th, 2006.

 

The Independent Republic of Orange Nations (IRON) has been one of the premier alliances in Cyber Nations world since our founding. We are one of the longest tenured alliances in the game and have consistently been one of the top sanctioned alliances (including several stays at #1). IRON is well known in Cyber Nations for our economic (nation building) and military prowess.

 

The IRON Community is demographically diverse made up of gamers of all ages with an average age between 18-30.There are large player representations from Canada, Europe, and the United States as well as members located in several other countries around the world.

That was very well writtten, and quite an interesting read.. :)

 

Which other games is this alliance active in? Did you ever think you guys would grow thisbig? Who, in your opinion, was the best president of the alliance since it's inception? Is he/she still around? Did there ever come a time when you thought the alliance was gonna break?  How did you endure?

You should read the IRON timeline if you are so interested in their history, it was very well put together and included input from some of the founders.

There is this, which is essentially an edited version of a history I wrote, it only really covers the first couple of years though.

I think there was a semi-updated version that went up to about 2010 or so buried somewhere on these forums, but someone else will have to do the digging
