Council of Allies

The Council of Allies is the main global alliance of democratic powers, but has recently opened its membership to those recently fearing the consequences of socialism, specifically the rise of Stalinism and German Spartacism. The idea for the Council of Allies was conceived following the initiation of the German Socialist Republic into the Comintern, with the United Kingdom and France becoming sceptical of communism preparing to spread.

The Council organised for the first time in April 1922, and since then has met three times a year: the first summit being in London in April, Paris in August and Brussels in December. World leaders of member states can meet and listen to new ideas and developments specifically over the prospect of growing socialism. The Council has achieved some developments, including funding the German Free State despite not fully recognising its legitimacy, which has led some to declare the Council nothing more than an informal agreement and a weak and ineffective gathering.
