Large Alliance Syndrome, known as LAS, is a severe viral disease with origins far before Cybernations. It has spread and mutated towards the Cybernations community, where it infects groups of nations known generally as alliances. The origins of the name are not what one would immediately think- alliances do not have LAS because they are large, but because they aspire towards being large. Therefore alliances with a mere three members can have LAS, while alliances with several hundred can avoid it. Large Alliance Syndrome is commonly, but incorrectly, diagnosed as imperialism.
