The United Blue Directorate was founded by Lyons in early June 2007. Various Ministers were appointed at this time but after 1 month the alliance was disbanded due to pressures from larger alliances and most importantly upon Lyons himself (namely because Lyons aided a FARK nation during GWII). In an attempt to maintain stability 2 offshoots of the UBD were formed; United Blue Directorate and United Blue Nations. Differences arose between these two offshoots as to who was the official successor to the original United Blue Directorate.
