I'll do a top 12 I suppose. Not putting too much time into it and researching war stats etc.. Just doing my initial thoughts on each Alliance and obviously more in depth knowledge about those I actually have experience with.
1.
Paros Accord - #1 Attacker #3 Defender (2 Fighter) Great Alliance. Full of talented players who don't cheat - Great core.... Dominating all that come into contact with them and constantly expanding their borders.
SWIM
2.
NONAMES - #2 Attacker #1 Defender (1 Fighter) Good Alliance, good coring.. Lots of talent, but unfortunately full of cheaters. If their top players hadn't all been attackable banned things may have been going much better for them, but as it is PA are absolutely demolishing them.
This Alliance Will Fall Apart
3.
Paros Accord. - See #1
4.
=Paros Accord= - See #1 and also, expanding PA borders into completely new horizons away from PA core, almost all players entirely on frontlines. Very good branch of PA (I'm not biased or anything
)
KILL EVERYONE
5.
=Psychos= - #6 Attacker #2 Defender (5 Fighter) I hear these players like to use "special tools" to help them out with the game, similar to NONAMES, so I can't accurately speak for their ability as players but they have good stats and good coring.
Float
6.
Krakens Eat Their Own - Attacker #7 Defender #7 (7 Fighter) For an Alliance that likes to toot their own horn quite often, really nothing significant. An above average Alliance none the less, but I don't predict them to last long term.... Either lose to the bigger/better Alliances or fall apart due to internal issues.

7.
The Eagle - #8 Attacker #18 Defender (11 Fighter) Clearly haven't been challenged yet at the very least, but impressive stats nonetheless for such a small, elite Alliance. If the ties between the players are strong, and they can hold up individually under pressure, I predict good things for them.
SWIM
8.
We r Sleep (Or whatever their name will be when this is read) - #13 Attacker #14 Defender (14 Fighter) For being rank 8 in points, their BP rankings are lackluster. Obviously a group of city builders primarily, but I've seen them in action and can do big things if they don't rage ghost like they did in Actium after losing 1 siege lol. I don't see it happening though.

I'm skipping to 10 and doing no more because the others aren't worth commenting on - They're just food for the bigger Alliances.
10.
Jokers Rule - #10 Attacker #20 Defender (10 Fighter) This is a very good Alliance, obviously being carried by one player alone lol The Great PokeMoreSmot. This player is obviously a very good player, especially since she joined so late in the world and her stats are already where they are, and her area is not great. I think this lady could fight an Alliance by herself, but I predict she'll eventually fall if she continues by herself.
