The major blocs
Huawan's side*
Huawan
the Huawanese's goals during the Cold War were less driven by ideology and more driven by the disruption and destruction of their enemies. At home, they were a monarchical remnant of old Imperialist ideas from before the Great War, but on the field they were avid supporters of socialism and communism, mainly to disrupt their Ryccian enemies. This lead to them supporting the likes of Songren and UPRAN.

Other Minor Factions*
Non-Aligned Armed Neutral Nations
Ikaranara pursued an ideology of armed and economic neutrality- the latter in this case meaning it traded with all three of the major factions almost equally as to not give off the impression that it supported one more than the other. It instead focused on its own economic interest and trade network.

Ikaranarean War on Terror
The Ikaranarean War on Terror was a brutal conflict in Losavra which lasted 16 years. The official start was on March 20th, 1970, when members of the Great Losavral Frankist Party (GLFP) attempted a coup in Řavabos and failed, sparking a civil war. Things were looking dire below the Bivbi, before the GLFP made the choice of bombing the Three Royal Palaces in Imperus, Akeros, and Ikera, in an act known as the Three Strikes of Terror. A 4th bombing of Centrus was planned but was stopped after the Centrus Police Force raided a house civilians reported for "suspicious activity." The very next day, head Governor Êmanka Amkam, with support of the NA, announced a commitment to destroying the GLFP and Ikaranarean troops went, both training Losavral militia and personally engaging GLFP. Ikaranara, who's military doctrine supported anti-insurgent operations, used deep tactics, and with help from the new Federal Investigation Committee, engaged in deep espionage with double agents, spyplanes, propaganda, and many other things that rendered the GLFP's insurgent advantages bad- They eventually turned the tide of the war with foreign aid as Ikaranarean tactics improved tremendously over the course of it, and the last members owing allegiance to the GLFP were caught and executed in 1986.
