My personal interpretation of the FCU Location (given that the FCU is described as a country and not a political union) is the country directly south of the country which contains Los Canas (where Artiglio is located).

I have a few reasoning for this and the FCU not being the country that contains Los Canas.

1). If Los Canas is the FCU capital city, that would mean the FCU would be a landlocked country (according to the borders of Usea). The problem with this is that in our world, most landlocked countries are very poor or at best a middle power. Trade and important Sea resources like fishing are essential for countries development, and If the FCU has as much political and military influence in Usea as we are led to believe, this can't fly. My location basically gives the FCU complete access to the Spring Sea and all other connecting oceans, similar to the other major Usean power: Erusea

2). In addition to the above point, the FCU has a Navy. Not just any navy, but a Navy that clearly has operates an aircraft carrier and has multiple fleets (The Fort Grace carrier was part of the FCU 6th fleet). Only a few landlock Nations have navies, and even then they are small and obviously only operate within small bodies of waters like rivers, lakes, or inland. And they wouldn't operate a freaking carrier. In fact, the most prominent landlocked Nation in Strangereal (Ustio) has no navy thanks to it not being near any major body of water.

3). The Skully Islands are stated to be FCU territory. It makes no sense for a landlocked Nation to have an oversea territory like this For obvious reasons. Plus it makes sense with muy placenent of the FCU as the Skully Islands would be fairly close to it's home. Just take youR Navy, go south and BAM your controlling your territory with ease and won't have to go through or around another country.

4). While yes ISAF headquarters were in Los Canas, it doesn't necessarily mean it was the Capital of the (de facto) leader country. NATO's leader is basically the United States, but NATO HQ is in Brussels. Sam thing could apply with Los Canas and whatever country that city belongs to.
