PACT

USA

The USA lost no major world during the ZOCU war and while its overall military record during the conflict was mixed, it emerged strong.

Status: Winner
Political Stance: Hope and Change/New American Millenia

Brazil

The third of the PACT's 'leading three', Brazil was generally removed from the conflict.

Status: Didn't Play
Political Stance: Ignore the War

Japan

Japan's offworld ambitions were stymied by the defection of Kanon, but the enduring loyalty of their colonists at Horizon allows them to maintain significant presence in the Near Rim.

Status: Zero Summer
Political Stance: Corporate State


ZOCU

Londinium

Londinium escaped the war without significant damage and remains the core of ZOCU. Its philosophy of outward direction finds strong support.

Status: Winner
Political Stance: Put It Behind Us

Kanon

While having suffered an early ground campaign, Kanon rebounded and maintains its position as a key ZOCU world and a center for science and engineering. Like Londinium, it strives to keep the Union intact.

Status: Winner
Political Stance: Guiding Star

Transbaal

The demands of war proved too much for Transbaal's fragile economy and some mis-steps in the immediate postwar has put the world into doldrums. Resentment and resignation is growing among the citizens at the government's inability to properly manage the situation.

Status: Loser
Political Stance: Internal Collapse

New Mercia

New Mercia and Albion practically had to be forced apart at gunpoint after the close of the main war, and unfortunately like Transbaal, the peacetime economy has not been kind to New Mercia.

Status: Loser
Political Stance: Never Forget

Haraway

Despite being the scene of brutal fighting both on the ground and in space, Haraway largely feels it came out a winner in the war. However, while the immedate threat of an EU invasion has been removed, tension continues to run high with the EU, and many on Haraway regard a second round as a question of when not if.

Status: Draw
Political Stance: House of War

Hampshire

Located behind the front lines, Hampshire remained untouched by the war. Their large merchant marine provided logistical support to the Combined Milita and attacked PACT and EU supplies lines with their new stealth ships. Peacetime has found Hampshire one of the wealthiest nations within ZOCU. They share Londinium's philosophy of outward expansion.

Independents

Fuso

Something of a sideshow during the war, Fuso managed to be a tough enough customer that PACT signed an early seperate peace with them. However, their particular brand of ultranationalism has found them few friends in ZOCU or elsewhere.

Status: Winner
Political Stance: Ideological Purification

SIYAN

SIYAN was a major combatant in the Pac-Am arm and was one of the additional parties covered by the Treaty of Sirius. They remain an official observer in ZOCU and to PACT planners, a worrying techno-military power at the end of the Pac-Am catapult chain.

Status: Winner
Political Stance: Get Sirius

Theia

A world that remains split between pro-independence and pro-PACT nations, Theia has become militarized and is one of the more likely flashpoints.

Status: Loser
Political Stance: Law of the Gun

Helicon

Throwing in with ZOCU early on in the hope of decisively ridding themselves of Core interference with their affairs, Helicon was able to use longstanding strategic reserves and stockpiles to alleviate the costs of the war. Suffering minimal losses outside of the Battle of Haraway, the Treaty of Sirius stands as the single sour note in what is otherwise viewed as a successful and politically popular war.
