{{Organization|other-names=''Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Việt Nam'' (Vietnamese)|abbreviation=Việt Cộng, Viet Cong, VC|name=National Liberation Front of Vietnam|type=* United Front
* Guerrilla Movement|flag=[[File:VietCongFlag.png|center|315px]]}}
The '''National Liberation Front of Vietnam''' (Vietnamese: ''Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Việt Nam''), colloquially known as the '''Viet Cong''' is an umbrella term to refer to a communist-driven armed movement and united front organization in the [[Empire of Vietnam]]. The organization has both guerrilla and regular army units, deploying heavy weaponry such as tanks, aircraft, and starships.

== Names ==
The term ''Việt Cộng'' is a contraction of ''Việt Nam cộng sản'', which means "Vietnamese Communist" in Vietnamese.

== History ==

=== Battle of Port Izumi ===
''See also: [[Battle of Port Izumi]]''

In 2285, the Viet Cong attacked and destroyed the [[Port Izumi]] refinery complex operated and protected by the [[Kusari Group]], with the support of [[Byakko Logistics]], in a combined arms attack using armor, air, and space assets.

=== Operation Rising Sun ===
''See also: [[Operation Rising Sun]]''

Shortly after the destruction of Port Izumi, the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] launched a military campaign aiming to decapitate Việt Cộng leadership known as "Operation Rising Sun."

== Foreign support ==
The Viet Cong are known to receive extensive support from the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]] and the [[Communist Interstellar|Comintern]] and have been for decades. In recent years, it has been speculated that the Viet Cong have also acquired the backing of the [[Orion Treaty Organization]].

= History =

=== Pre-First Scinfaxi War ===
The first known habitation of the Japanese archipelago on Earth dates to the Upper Paleolithic, with the beginning Japanese Paleolithic dating to c. 36,000 BC. Between the fourth and sixth centuries, its kingdoms were united under an emperor in Nara, and later Heian-kyō. From the 12th century, actual power was held by military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō), and enforced by warrior nobility (samurai). After rule by the Kamakura and Ashikaga shogunates and a century of warring states, Japan was unified in 1600 by the Tokugawa Shogunate, which implemented an isolationist foreign policy. In 1853, a [[United States of America|United States]] fleet forced Japan to end its economic isolationism, which led to the end of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial power in 1868. In the Meiji period, the Empire of Japan pursued rapid industrialization and modernization, as well as militarism and overseas colonization - emerging as a great power following the First Sino-Japanese War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Great War. A failed coup by the Kōdōha (Imperial Way Faction) on February 26, 1936 resulted in the assassination of several politicians and the appointment of Kōki Hirota as Prime Minister of Japan.

In March of 1933, [[Scinfaxi]] biological material was discovered in the area of Honshu affected by the Sanriku Earthquake. Following the Muroto typhoon in September of the next year, similar material and environmental disturbances are identified.

The '''Union of Bulgaria and Romania''', commonly known as '''Bulgaria-Romania''', is a [[Legacy Nation]] in the [[Orion Arm]]. A [[Regional Power]], It is both a member of the [[Axis Powers]] and [[League of Nations]].

== History ==

=== Pre-First Scinfaxi War ===
The earliest evidence of human habitation of the lands on Earth that would become Bulgaria and Romania date back to at least 33,000 BCE. One of the earliest recorded societies in the lands of what was Bulgaria and Romania on Earth was the Karanovo culture, which dated back at least 6,500 BCE. From that point to the 14th century, these lands were fought over by numerous major powers in Europe such as the Romans, [[National Republic of Hungary|Hungarians]], Greeks, and Macedonians.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, the [[Republic of Türkiye|Turkish]] Ottoman Empire invaded and conquered the Balkans, capturing the last Bulgarian settlement of Sozopol in 1453 and occupying Banat and Crișana in 1541. As a result of the Western European Enlightenment of the 18th century, nationalism began to grow in Bulgaria and Romania. In 1858, the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia united into the Kingdom of Romania. In 1876, a Bulgarian nationalist revolt was crushed by the Ottoman Empire but the crushing of the revolt led to the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Russian]] Empire launching a war against the Ottoman Empire in 1877 and establishing a sovereign Bulgarian state in 1878.

During the Great War, Romania and Bulgaria were on opposite sides: Bulgaria in the Central Powers and Romania in the Entente. Bulgaria lost land to its neighbors, including Romania, at the end of the Great War. The resulting political unrest led to the establishment of a royal dictatorship by Tsar Boris III in Bulgaria. In Romania, similar developments took place as Carol II returned to usurp the throne and consolidate power.

The '''Holy See''', also called the '''See of Rome''', '''Petrine See''', or '''Apostolic See''', is the central governing body of the Catholic Church. It encompasses the office of the pope as the bishop of the Apostolic episcopal see of Rome and serves as the spiritual and administrative authority of the armwide Catholic Church. The Holy See is a [[Small Power]], a [[Legacy Nation]], and a member of the [[League of Nations]].

== History ==

=== Pre-First Scinfaxi War ===
According to Catholic tradition, the apostolic see of Diocese of Rome was established in the 1st century by the Catholic saints Peter and Paul. The legal status of the Catholic church and its property was recognized by the Edict of Milan in 313, and it became the state church of the Roman Empire by the Edict of Thessalonica in 380. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476, the temporal legal jurisdiction of the papal primacy was further recognized as promulgated in Canon law.

The Papal States held extensive territory and armed forces from 756–1870. The Pope's temporal power peaked around the time of the papal coronations of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire from 858, and the ''Dictatus papae'' in 1075. Several modern states still trace their own sovereignty to recognition in medieval papal bulls.

The sovereignty of the Holy See was retained despite multiple sacks of Rome during the Early Middle Ages, an exiled Avignon Papacy during 1309–1376, and occupation under the "Roman Republic" from 1798 to 1799. The Capture of Rome in 1870 by the Kingdom of Italy and the Roman Question during the Savoyard era ultimately resulted in the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and [[Italian Social Republic|Italy]] - which recognized Vatican City as an independent city-state.

=== First Scinfaxi War ===
Much of Vatican City was destroyed during the First Scinfaxi War. Restoration of surviving relics, such as the Constantine Shard, is ongoing.

Astropolitics

2026-04-16T00:05:51Z

Ormr1:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Superpowers]]

'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

'''Great power''' describes a sovereign state that maintains a major, sustained capacity to influence astropolitics and project power across multiple regions of the Orion Arm. Great powers possess broad capabilities across the core components of state power: demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural, reinforced by effective diplomacy and soft power. Within their spheres of interest, great powers can easily shape outcomes, but generally require partners to coerce or deter a superpower. In the modern phase of the Cold War, they form the backbone of major alliances and act as principal balancers within the international system.

= Regional Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Regional Alliances & Coalitions]]

'''Regional power''' describes a sovereign state whose influence and ability to project power are concentrated primarily within a specific region of the Orion Arm. Regional powers may not possess the full range of capabilities of great powers, but they maintain significant strength across major components of state power. Within their region, they can exercise coercive influence over neighbors, though their ability to act independently on the Arm-wide stage is limited. In the Cold War system, regional powers are often aligned with superpowers or great powers, though some have entered into independent coalitions. They serve as pivotal actors in local contests and as critical partners within larger alliances.

= Middle Powers =
'''Middle power''' describes a sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its immediate region, yet sufficient resources and stability to exert meaningful influence in international affairs. Middle powers do not rival great or regional powers in comprehensive strength, but may maintain niche advantages such as economic specialization, diplomatic networks, or cultural influence that allow them to shape outcomes disproportionate to their size. They may provide valuable contributions to military, political, research, or economic coalitions, and frequently act as mediators in disputes between larger states. In the Cold War system, middle powers are essential secondary actors: too powerful to be ignored outright, yet unlikely to be decisive on their own.

'''See Also:''' [[Shared Sovereignty]]

'''Small power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its own borders and little influence in shaping events outside its immediate astrography. Small powers typically lack the comprehensive resources of larger states, but may retain modest strengths in specific areas such as commerce, technology, or cultural output. Their security and prosperity often depend on alignment with stronger powers, participation in international institutions, or integration into regional coalitions or systems. In the Cold War system, small powers are frequently the objects of competition between larger states, yet they can exercise agency by leveraging geography, alliances, or specialized capabilities to secure their interests.

= Frontier Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Far Frontier]], [[List of Far Frontier Systems By Population]]

'''Frontier power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state located on the outer reaches of the Orion Arm, beyond the established cores of interstellar civilization. They are typically isolated, with smaller populations, limited economic strength, and restricted capacity for interconnectivity. The influence of frontier powers rarely extends beyond their own boundaries, and they exert little to no impact on astropolitics within the Arm as a whole. In many cases, they are only partially sovereign, with authority shared, or contested, by corporate or other interests that can operate without meaningful oversight. Historically ignored by larger states and markets alike, frontier powers are beginning to draw attention as megacorporations seek unregulated opportunities. In the Cold War, they represent a new and growing theater of competition.

The '''Local Supercluster''' is a geopolitical region corresponding roughly to those star systems charted during the first generation of interstellar travel. It extends outward with [[Sol Planetary System|Sol]] at its approximate center, outward to the [[Sea of Clouds]] on its trailing edge, the [[Deutscher Wald]] to its coreward, and the [[New Canaan Corridor]] to its spinward. It is a Major Region, with 10 constituent regions and 18 subclusters.

A great diversity of [[Legacy Nation|legacy]] and [[Non-Legacy Nation|non-legacy nations]] exists in the Local Supercluster, with [[Republic of India|India]], [[Federative Republic of Brazil|Brazil]], [[United Centauri Republic|Alpha Centauri]], [[Italian Social Republic|Italy]] and [[Vega Planetary System|Vega]] the most populous. Its economies range from the very poor, to extremely wealthy, and the region has experienced both periods of relative peace and conflict.

As the epicenter of the colonization effort, the history of the region dates back to the [[First Scinfaxi War]]. The [[Solar Subcluster|Solar]], [[Apollo Subcluster|Apollo]] and [[Draconis Subcluster|Draconis]] subclusters were the very first to be charted, and colonies like [[United Provinces of Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]], [[Sirius Federation|Sirius]], [[Commonwealth of Vega|Vega]] and [[United States of Juno|Juno]] later became some of the first independent colonies in the [[Orion Arm]]. The [[Astropolitics|astropolitical]] importance of the region diminished following the [[Evacuation of Earth]], but was later recognized throughout the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries.

Astropolitics

2026-03-25T22:59:49Z

Ormr1:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Superpowers]]

'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

These include; extensive astropolitical influence, significant military capabilities with interstellar operational reach, a robust and diversified economy, and advanced technological prowess. Strong diplomatic and cultural influence is also considered. In recognition of the paramount role that interstellar territories play modern power dynamics, the number of undisputed territorial claims on star systems is also considered.

= Great Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Great Powers]]

'''Great power''' describes a sovereign state that maintains a major, sustained capacity to influence astropolitics and project power across multiple regions of the Orion Arm. Great powers possess broad capabilities across the core components of state power: demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural, reinforced by effective diplomacy and soft power. Within their spheres of interest, great powers can easily shape outcomes, but generally require partners to coerce or deter a superpower. In the modern phase of the Cold War, they form the backbone of major alliances and act as principal balancers within the international system.

'''See Also:''' [[Regional Alliances & Coalitions]]

'''Regional power''' describes a sovereign state whose influence and ability to project power are concentrated primarily within a specific region of the Orion Arm. Regional powers may not possess the full range of capabilities of great powers, but they maintain significant strength across major components of state power. Within their region, they can exercise coercive influence over neighbors, though their ability to act independently on the Arm-wide stage is limited. In the Cold War system, regional powers are often aligned with superpowers or great powers, though some have entered into independent coalitions. They serve as pivotal actors in local contests and as critical partners within larger alliances.

= Middle Powers =
'''Middle power''' describes a sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its immediate region, yet sufficient resources and stability to exert meaningful influence in international affairs. Middle powers do not rival great or regional powers in comprehensive strength, but may maintain niche advantages such as economic specialization, diplomatic networks, or cultural influence that allow them to shape outcomes disproportionate to their size. They may provide valuable contributions to military, political, research, or economic coalitions, and frequently act as mediators in disputes between larger states. In the Cold War system, middle powers are essential secondary actors: too powerful to be ignored outright, yet unlikely to be decisive on their own.

'''See Also:''' [[Shared Sovereignty]]

'''Small power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its own borders and little influence in shaping events outside its immediate astrography. Small powers typically lack the comprehensive resources of larger states, but may retain modest strengths in specific areas such as commerce, technology, or cultural output. Their security and prosperity often depend on alignment with stronger powers, participation in international institutions, or integration into regional coalitions or systems. In the Cold War system, small powers are frequently the objects of competition between larger states, yet they can exercise agency by leveraging geography, alliances, or specialized capabilities to secure their interests.

= Frontier Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Far Frontier]], [[List of Far Frontier Systems By Population]]

'''Frontier power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state located on the outer reaches of the Orion Arm, beyond the established cores of interstellar civilization. They are typically isolated, with smaller populations, limited economic strength, and restricted capacity for interconnectivity. The influence of frontier powers rarely extends beyond their own boundaries, and they exert little to no impact on astropolitics within the Arm as a whole. In many cases, they are only partially sovereign, with authority shared, or contested, by corporate or other interests that can operate without meaningful oversight. Historically ignored by larger states and markets alike, frontier powers are beginning to draw attention as megacorporations seek unregulated opportunities. In the Cold War, they represent a new and growing theater of competition.

The '''Local Supercluster''' is a geopolitical region corresponding roughly to those star systems charted during the first generation of interstellar travel. It extends outward with [[Sol Planetary System|Sol]] at its approximate center, outward to the [[Sea of Clouds]] on its trailing edge, the [[Deutscher Wald]] to its coreward, and the [[New Canaan Corridor]] to its spinward. It is a Major Region, with 10 constituent regions and 18 subclusters.

A great diversity of [[Legacy Nation|legacy]] and [[Non-Legacy Nation|non-legacy nations]] exists in the Local Supercluster, with [[Republic of India|India]], [[Federative Republic of Brazil|Brazil]], [[United Centauri Republic|Alpha Centauri]], [[Italian Social Republic|Italy]] and [[Vega Planetary System|Vega]] the most populous. Its economies range from the very poor, to extremely wealthy, and the region has experienced both periods of relative peace and conflict.

As the epicenter of the colonization effort, the history of the region dates back to the [[First Scinfaxi War]]. The [[Solar Subcluster|Solar]], [[Apollo Subcluster|Apollo]] and [[Draconis Subcluster|Draconis]] subclusters were the very first to be charted, and colonies like [[United Provinces of Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]], [[Sirius Federation|Sirius]], [[Commonwealth of Vega|Vega]] and [[United States of Juno|Juno]] later became some of the first independent colonies in the [[Orion Arm]]. The [[Astropolitics|astropolitical]] importance of the region diminished following the [[Evacuation of Earth]], but was later recognized throughout the late 22nd and early 23rd centuries.

Astropolitics

2026-03-25T02:41:26Z

Ormr1:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Superpowers]]

'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

Strong diplomatic and cultural influence is also considered. In recognition of the paramount role that interstellar territories play modern power dynamics, the number of undisputed territorial claims on star systems is also considered.

= Great Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Great Powers]]

'''Great power''' describes a sovereign state that maintains a major, sustained capacity to influence astropolitics and project power across multiple regions of the Orion Arm. Great powers possess broad capabilities across the core components of state power: demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural, reinforced by effective diplomacy and soft power. Within their spheres of interest, great powers can easily shape outcomes, but generally require partners to coerce or deter a superpower. In the modern phase of the Cold War, they form the backbone of major alliances and act as principal balancers within the international system.

'''See Also:''' [[Regional Alliances & Coalitions]]

'''Regional power''' describes a sovereign state whose influence and ability to project power are concentrated primarily within a specific region of the Orion Arm. Regional powers may not possess the full range of capabilities of great powers, but they maintain significant strength across major components of state power. Within their region, they can exercise coercive influence over neighbors, though their ability to act independently on the Arm-wide stage is limited. In the Cold War system, regional powers are often aligned with superpowers or great powers, though some have entered into independent coalitions. They serve as pivotal actors in local contests and as critical partners within larger alliances.

= Middle Powers =
'''Middle power''' describes a sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its immediate region, yet sufficient resources and stability to exert meaningful influence in international affairs. Middle powers do not rival great or regional powers in comprehensive strength, but may maintain niche advantages such as economic specialization, diplomatic networks, or cultural influence that allow them to shape outcomes disproportionate to their size. They may provide valuable contributions to military, political, research, or economic coalitions, and frequently act as mediators in disputes between larger states. In the Cold War system, middle powers are essential secondary actors: too powerful to be ignored outright, yet unlikely to be decisive on their own.

'''See Also:''' [[Shared Sovereignty]]

'''Small power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its own borders and little influence in shaping events outside its immediate astrography. Small powers typically lack the comprehensive resources of larger states, but may retain modest strengths in specific areas such as commerce, technology, or cultural output. Their security and prosperity often depend on alignment with stronger powers, participation in international institutions, or integration into regional coalitions or systems. In the Cold War system, small powers are frequently the objects of competition between larger states, yet they can exercise agency by leveraging geography, alliances, or specialized capabilities to secure their interests.

'''See Also:''' [[Far Frontier]], [[List of Far Frontier Systems By Population]]

'''Frontier power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state located on the outer reaches of the Orion Arm, beyond the established cores of interstellar civilization. They are typically isolated, with smaller populations, limited economic strength, and restricted capacity for interconnectivity. The influence of frontier powers rarely extends beyond their own boundaries, and they exert little to no impact on astropolitics within the Arm as a whole. In many cases, they are only partially sovereign, with authority shared, or contested, by corporate or other interests that can operate without meaningful oversight. Historically ignored by larger states and markets alike, frontier powers are beginning to draw attention as megacorporations seek unregulated opportunities. In the Cold War, they represent a new and growing theater of competition.

Bolivarian Republic of Callao

The '''Bolivarian Republic of Callao''', commonly known as '''Callao''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Encruzilhada Subcluster]]. It is a [[Small Power]] and both a member of the [[League of Nations]] and of the [[Union of South American States]].

=== Cold War ===

==== [[Callao Civil War]] ====
The secession of the Palomino-based [[Callao People's Federation]] has caused a brief civil war in 2279. The [[Orion Treaty Organization]] intervened in order to stabilize Callao and to prevent further destabilization of the [[Encruzilhada Subcluster]]. By the end of the civil war, planet-wide fortifications were established on armistice lines. Since demarcation, Callao's armistice lines has had numerous cases of incursions caused by militias such as the [[Revolutionary Nationalist Army (Callao)|Revolutionary Nationalist Army]]. In one such incident, an attempted border incursion was repelled by [[French Republic|French]] peacekeepers.

Astropolitics

2026-02-22T23:05:37Z

Ormr1:

'''Astropolitics''' (used interchangeably with '''Interstellar Geopolitics''' or just '''Geopolitics''') examines how the interstellar geography of the [[Orion Arm]] influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using astrographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a foundation for analyzing nations at the international level.

In the Cold War-dominated final years of the [[Timeline|23rd century]], astropolitics is defined in near totality by the four-way struggle between the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], [[Axis Powers]], [[Communist Interstellar]], and [[Co-Prosperity Sphere]], with non-participant nations largely consolidated into the [[Non-Aligned Movement]]. These interstellar blocs are led by the [[United States of America|United States]], [[German Reich]], [[Soviet Union]], and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]] respectively, the four superpowers, and made up of lesser Great Powers, Regional Powers, Middle Powers, and Small Powers.

While nation-states remain the primary actors driving astropolitics, an increasing percentage of countries are now considered satellite states to varying degrees within the larger strategic competition. [[Conflicts|Proxy wars]] are widespread across the Orion Arm, rooted in local conflicts fueled and escalated by the interests of the superpowers or nations within their respective blocs. The increased interconnectivity across the Arm also enables actions taken by [[Organizations|megacorporations]], [[Organizations|non-state entities]], and sometimes even [[Notable Figures|individuals]] to potentially shape astropolitics, igniting chains of events that can escalate far beyond their original scope.

As a consequence, the traditional state-centric order of the post-evacuation era is evolving. International organizations like the [[League of Nations]], megacorporations, and non-state actors increasingly compete with nation-states for influence, a development often described as a form of [[new-medievalism]]. Many megacorporations, and some non-state actors, command greater resources than middle or small powers, further blurring the lines that once clearly defined interstellar politics.

=Superpowers=
'''See Also:''' [[Potential Superpowers]]

'''Superpower''' describes a sovereign state that holds a dominant position, characterized by the ability to exert influence and project power across the Orion Arm. They excel in every component of state power: '''demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural strength''', as well as diplomatic and soft power. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers. While other states are able to project power across the Orion Arm, the influence of the '''superpowers''' is so significant that no major action '''can''' be taken by the international community without first considering their positions.

'''See Also:''' [[Potential Great Powers]]

'''Great power''' describes a sovereign state that maintains a major, sustained capacity to influence astropolitics and project power across multiple regions of the Orion Arm. Great powers possess broad capabilities across the core components of state power: demographic, economic, military, technological, political, and cultural, reinforced by effective diplomacy and soft power. Within their spheres of interest, great powers can easily shape outcomes, but generally require partners to coerce or deter a superpower. In the modern phase of the Cold War, they form the backbone of major alliances and act as principal balancers within the international system.

'''See Also:''' [[Regional Alliances & Coalitions]]

'''Regional power''' describes a sovereign state whose influence and ability to project power are concentrated primarily within a specific region of the Orion Arm. Regional powers may not possess the full range of capabilities of great powers, but they maintain significant strength across major components of state power. Within their region, they can exercise coercive influence over neighbors, though their ability to act independently on the Arm-wide stage is limited. In the Cold War system, regional powers are often aligned with superpowers or great powers, though some have entered into independent coalitions. They serve as pivotal actors in local contests and as critical partners within larger alliances.

= Middle Powers =
'''Middle power''' describes a sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its immediate region, yet sufficient resources and stability to exert meaningful influence in international affairs. Middle powers do not rival great or regional powers in comprehensive strength, but may maintain niche advantages such as economic specialization, diplomatic networks, or cultural influence that allow them to shape outcomes disproportionate to their size. They may provide valuable contributions to military, political, research, or economic coalitions, and frequently act as mediators in disputes between larger states. In the Cold War system, middle powers are essential secondary actors: too powerful to be ignored outright, yet unlikely to be decisive on their own.

'''See Also:''' [[Shared Sovereignty]]

'''Small power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state with limited capacity to project power beyond its own borders and little influence in shaping events outside its immediate astrography. Small powers typically lack the comprehensive resources of larger states, but may retain modest strengths in specific areas such as commerce, technology, or cultural output. Their security and prosperity often depend on alignment with stronger powers, participation in international institutions, or integration into regional coalitions or systems. In the Cold War system, small powers are frequently the objects of competition between larger states, yet they can exercise agency by leveraging geography, alliances, or specialized capabilities to secure their interests.

= Frontier Powers =
'''See Also:''' [[Far Frontier]], [[List of Far Frontier Systems By Population]]

'''Frontier power''' describes a sovereign or semi-sovereign state located on the outer reaches of the Orion Arm, beyond the established cores of interstellar civilization. They are typically isolated, with smaller populations, limited economic strength, and restricted capacity for interconnectivity. The influence of frontier powers rarely extends beyond their own boundaries, and they exert little to no impact on astropolitics within the Arm as a whole. In many cases, they are only partially sovereign, with authority shared, or contested, by corporate or other interests that can operate without meaningful oversight. Historically ignored by larger states and markets alike, frontier powers are beginning to draw attention as megacorporations seek unregulated opportunities. In the Cold War, they represent a new and growing theater of competition.

== 2285 Olympics ==
The '''2285 Summer Olympics''', branded as '''Al Mouakket 2285''', was an international multi-sport event held from 26 July to 11 August 2285 in the [[United Provinces of Tau Ceti]], with several events starting from 24 July. [[Al Mouakket]] was the host city, with many events held outside of the Al Mouakket metropolitan area.

The top three nations by medal count were the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet Union]], [[United States of America|United States]], and the [[Republic of Korea]].

The 2285 Olympics were notable for the [[2285 Olympics Boycott]] led by members of the [[Axis Powers]], including the [[German Reich]].
