Since this is yet another dead thread I'll try and get it going again with a quick top 12 8)
1) Ace Of Hearts ~ These guys are clearly at the head of this world and appear to be holding on to the #1 spot quite well. Especially since they've lost only three cities in the past week while continuing to add cities to their ranks. I am though, quite surprised that no group of alliances have at least had a decent attempt to take these guys down - screams "NooB World" doesn't it?

2) The Ritchie Boys ~ Although I like the fact that the #2 alliance has less than 60 members, it would appear that these guys are having a decent little war with DKBT. It would seem that both sides are having decent losses.....

3) DKBT ~ These guys also have around 60 members which earns them a bit of respect from me but again, they seem to be going back and forth with their good friends The Ritchie Boys. I'm curious as to how that whole thing will pan out.

4) Colossus DB ~ The foremost alliance of what I'm going to call the "Collossus Nightmare". I may be a bit closed-minded here but I don't think I understand how any group of people can expect to manage that many players efficiently. I feel like these guys are only around still because their sheer numbers intimidate most folks and the rest of the world seem content rimming each other. I foresee this 'Federation' being one of the first major group of alliances to fall, but I have been wrong before

5) DemiGods ~ I don't know a whole lot about these guys but their grepostats tell me they have had a rough past couple of days. I'm interested to see how these guys progress.

6) Exiled ~ I've heard rumors of these guys being tied in with TRB. On top of that I have a large amount of respect for these guys having less than 30 members and being #6. I see these guys sticking around for quite awhile but it's hard to tell at this point...

7) Colossus NWS ~ Alliance #2 of the Colossus Nightmare. These guys are getting lots of action taking out their own in-actives and feeding cities to the rest of the Colossus Nightmare.....Sadly enough, the last time they took a city from a decent alliance was on 2013-04-06....and they appear to still be paying for that.

8 ) S.C.P.A. East ~ I'm not really sure what to think about these guys other than they are yet another 'middle-of-the-road' alliance. they don't seem to be doing anything extraordinary but then again, I can see a future with these guys lasting a long time. Only time will tell.

9) Colossus OW VvV ~ These guys are getting hammered, and if I was them I would go get hammered in RL and wait for the next world to come out and try again there. If you want an easy city it would seem that this is the place to go. I don't see them lasting too much longer.

10) S.C.P.A. West ~ Again, I'm not sure what to think here but their stats don't look so good. I expect them to be a part of some sort of merge soon. Otherwise I don't see them being a contender by the time the WW era rolls around.

11) Phoenix Rising ~ I've heard that these guys are tied in with the Colossus bunch. On top of that they seem to be making a point of rimming the Poseidons Republic which seems to be crumbling at this point. I look forward to see where they turn next.

12) Colossus TCD ~ Yet another wing of the Colossus Nightmare. Remarkably though, these guys have yet to lose a city....I guess they are doing something right or the rest of the world isn't doing much at all thisisgrepolis.......

Also here's a link to a map I threw together...
