-PCA: A large nation of many cultures that is... more or less democratic. The black sheep of the Allied Nation.

-FRE: A monetary and in many limited ways political union of many small nations, Laurentia is a member while Cartenia is trying to join.

-LSS: A far away nation that loves to police the world and sees itself as the leading nation of the planet with its impressive military might and economy.

-GBU: A the main partner of the LSS, a now less impressive power known for its old colonial dominance.

-The Free World: The name people give to the alliance including the LSS, GBU and most of the FRE. By logic, most people within this alliance, especially the LSS, see every nation not part of this alliance as unfree. Some say it is the real power out there, not the Allied Nations.
