[edit] History

[edit] The beginning
Ostreich first appeared in Galava on the 1st of June, 2008, established by Tsar Soviet Sindorin. The guild grew at a steady pace. A Guild flag was chosen following the foundation, which happened on the 2nd of June, 2008. Within two days, Ostreich signed a Protectorate agreement with its northern brothers, Nordreich Ostreich has been found as a bastion within months after it's formation. It peaked it's first milestone of 20 members on July 19th, 2008. Ostreich has several treaties, and is working to become an important force on the world of Galava.
[edit] The Beta War
The Beta War was spurred by AppealDenied being accepted into the Knights of Raptor Jesus and talking with Kadin, its head of state, on the issue of other guilds. He later released the logs of the IRC conversations with Kadin. The logs showed a planned merge of Knights of the Esoteric and LUEnited Empires, predictions that Nordreich would upgrade Pax Galava into a military bloc, plans to attempt to pull Sparta, Confederation of Irish Arcticans (who had left by the time the conversations were publicized), and the Covenant away from Pax Galava, and plans to attempt to overcome DraGOONS in the guild rankings while recruiting from various *chan boards.
After the release and publication of these facts, and logs, it became clear that the sides of Funky Town ( KRJ, LUE, \m/, SWF, and WDS ) and the Axis of Evil ( Nordreich, Ostreich, Kingdom of Svalbard, Kingdom of the Tropic, Solaris and The Roman Imperium ) were set and a war ensued after several declaration, among which was Ostreich's statement of Military and Political support to Svalbard and Nordreich. It fought a successful Offensive Military campaign during the middle and ending stages of the war. It too was included in the release of The Beta Accords.
[edit] Foreign Relations
Ostreich has signed at a treaty signalling its protection by Nordreich. Later, it signed a PIAT with The Holy See. Recently, the Grand Pirate Order agreed to merge under the Ostreich Banner. All member of the Grand Pirate Order were then kicked out.
[edit] Military
The armed forces of Ostreich shall be a full time professional military, made up of all members. Service in the White Army is non negotiable for all members. The Tsar, as supreme Commander of the Army, may appoint officers to command over it, and may vest them with the ability to promote or dismiss military officers according to their discretion in addition to any other duties he may provide them with.
[edit] Imagery
[edit] Official symbolism
The Ostreich is by its very nature, strongly opposed to anything that it deems a threat to its ideals of eastern cultural preservation. Aside from this and our values as a Russian/Slavic Nationalist alliance, Ostreich is purely an IC entity and does not take any particular stances on OOC issues. Because of this, the Reich will only have a limited discussion forum for OOC issues that is strictly moderated.
Our ensign is the Rus Coat of Arms circa 1730, the national symbol of the Russian Empire. To us, it symbolizes our ancient heritage, pride in easter influence, our motherland, and our ability to overcome all odds. It also symbolizes unity and strength, two core values of Rus and Slavic peoples and hence, the Ostreich.
Our crest is the Double Eagle, the traditional crest of the Russian Empire, and an emblem of Russia itself. It symbolizes power, unity and majesty. The eagle is a bird of prey, top of the food hierarchy, and a king in his own territory.
Our official hail is Град, the Russian ( Cryillic ) word for hail. We use this word to signify our faith and support of the Reich's eastern foundations, through peace and war and all times to come.
