PACT Arm Today

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.

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 Fuso and Kanon, leaving them as something of a rump state.

Status: Loser

Political Stance: Corporate State

EU

Germany and France

Neither Germany nor France suffered significant defection and their contributions to the war - including both the famous 'Doppels' and Germany's first genuine war hero in two centuries, Admiral Anton Zweiker combined to put these two at the pinnacle of the EU's power structure, where they have begun to direct its attention outwards.

Political Stance: New European Millenium

Britain

Britain (and the Commonwealth as a whole) lost a great deal of prestige during the war. Affiliated worlds like New Mercia, Londinium and Transbaal all defected away, decisively weakening Britain's position in the EU.

Political Stance: Fraying Patchwork

Belgium/Denmark/The Netherlands

These nations were the primary backers for Vrijheid, which defected to ZOCU. They have since retreated into more isolationist, local politics.

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.

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.

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.

Sino-Russians

Russia

The collapse of the Chinese arm gave Russia an opportunity to play catch-up with the PRC, though it remains to be seen if Russia's quiet interventionism will backfire.

Political Stance: Transhumanize!

China

For thirty years, China had to suffer the indignity of having most of its colonies cut off. Fresh indignities were heaped upon them with the growth of nationalist feelings in the 'New Taiwans'.
