Alliance blocs at a glance¶
The Western Defense Pact (WDP) is Sierra's principal collective-defense alliance, led by Arcadia. Members include Gorlund, Volnia (until the civil war), Aegira, Leipzisch, and Livonia. The Eastern Sphere of Alignment Movement (ESA) is the principal counter-bloc, comprising DPR Rakutania and CSAT. The Sierran Non-Aligned Movement (SNAM) groups smaller states preferring neutrality between the two — Chartania, Choktovakia, Livonia (publicly), and Black Mountain.
