Interactions between Osea and Erusea ever since the first time they met.

After Belkan War, Osea and Yuktobania became the world's leading superpowers. They compete for influence in their own continents, and in places all over the world, just like our very own USA and Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War. Usea is trapped between the Osean and the Verusan continents. Despite the attempts to unite the continent into a single unity that resists the influence of both countries, akin to our world's Non-Aligned Movement, some Usean countries tried to join up with the Osean Federation. The other Usean countries strongly protested the move, no doubt it came from the experience of Belka after the war, how the country was severely crippled and humiliated by the winning countries. Also, before Belkan War, Osea was already taking pieces and pieces of Belkan land, taking advantage of the issue inside the Belkan government. Osean military presence was considered invasive by the Useans and threatened the stability of the continent. In the heated tension, an organization launched a coup d'etat, resulting in a civil war, secretly supported by Belka through their Gründer Industries. Belka supplied Zone of Endless AI and at least one ADF-01 prototype. 1. Osea-Yuktobania competed for influence.2. Some countries tried to join Osea.3. Some countries did not like the idea of Osean ally in Usea. The root of the trouble in the First Continental War was Osea meddling in Usea. About Erusian involvement in the war, while they apparently do not actively participate in the war, some of their military joined the rebels. It should be noted that Erusea was one of the countries that supported the anti-Osea idea. The end of the war resulted in the destruction of at least two anti-asteroid weapons, the satellite-based laser in Comona and the Fortress Intolerance in North Point. Megalith and Stonehenge were left untouched since those were controlled either by neutral countries or the Allied Forces. Due to the destruction of those weapons and Estovakian inability to complete their Chandelier in time, the asteroid impact was severe. In the crisis, Erusea was forced to take in refugees. And since Erusea was sanctioned for their decision to close their border because they were unable to feed and home the refugees any longer, Erusea grew hatred towards the other Usean countries. It's unknown if this treatment is due to the Erusian rebel units' actions in the first Continental War, but this resulted in Erusian uprising, starting the second Continental War. Mobius 1's destruction of Erusian military caused the country to plummet even lower. Operation Katina only made it worse. With much of their military destroyed, Erusea was left in a situation not too different from Ustio during the early days of the Belkan War. It won't be surprising if the country developed unmanned weapons and had to resort to mercenaries to recover their military. After all, they have nothing left after Operation Katina. Although their EASA fared a bit better by selling X-02s to Yuktobania through Gründer Industries. At this time, Yuktobania and Osea was in a Cold War. See the reason why Erusea sold their X-02s to Yuktobania and indirectly supported their opposition against Osea? Their lasting dislike towards Osea ever since the beginning of the first Continental War. 1. Erusea spoke out against Osean presence in the continent.2. Erusea was the first to face the impact of Ulysses.3. Erusea spoke out against the UTO about their quota for refugees. Erusea was big, but it was also severely damaged. Other Usean countries didn't care.4. Erusea started the second Continental War, defending their sovereignity, but ultimately was destroyed by Mobius 1.5. Erusea remained silent during Operation Katina that destroyed the last of its military. They have been bullied for long because they were outspoken about their national identity, and they have every right to hate the rest of Usea and Osea for everything they've done. Erusea was a Federal Republic during the Continental Wars. A federation is a country made of several self-governing states. I believe that the core of Erusea was the Kingdom before it gained new territories that became the new states, and it became a Federal Republic. After the Continental Wars, the states could become independent again since Erusea is in ruins, just like how Ustio was born. The core monarch returns, and the federation is no more. After Operation Katina, Erusea was invited to the summit on-board the Arkbird in 2008. Cold War was bad, and Osea through President Harling was trying to make amends and to help with the refugee issue that started the second Continental War. In this summit, collaborative projects were discussed. Mass Driver in Osea for Osea and Yuktobania, and possibly the International Space Elevator, aka ISEV Lighthouse for all the countries that were present in the summit. The Mass Driver was completed, and used in the Circum Pacific War. The issue between Osea and Erusea that caused their war in 2020 must've come from somewhere in this summit. Uneven division of the funding, perhaps? Osean domination above everyone else (again), perhaps? A violation during the operation of ISEV Lighthouse, perhaps?
