*The Belkan Knights

**The Belkan knights were fierce warriors, that follow the Code of Chivalry. They were founded by a mysterious society in 1601; their mission was to reunify the feudal city-states of all Belka, and diminish the Osean influence in the region. They fought many wars to gain their way, and find that the peoples of Belka be once again united. In late 1617, a sanction was made, and the Belkan Knights won control over Dinsmark. The nation was split into North Belka and South Belka, shortly afterward, and the peace was uneasy after Belka's transition into the Renaissance World.

*A small, northern, landlocked country known as Yuke began a serious juggernaut of bloody conquests against the fiefdoms that surrounded it. It succeeded, and the peoples of all the countries that were united, was then called the Yuktobanian Empire, and the borders between all the states had faded indefinitely into one powerhouse.

* The [[Erusea]]n Military begins to be pushed back by a sudden surge of ISAF Force, on the eastern-coastline. The ISAF manage to destroy multiple vital facilities and establish a foothold on the Usean Continent. Erusea throws its entire force at the ISAF, who advance across the entire continent, but to no avail. The ISAF liberate much of their lost territory, destroying Stonehenge in the process and regain full air operations across the continent. Soon, all occupied Usean Territory is freed and Erusea itself is invaded. The Erusean Capital city was sieged in mid-2005 by the main ISAF Force, but this did not end the war completely. The remaining Erusean Officers fled to Megalith, a newly built superweapon and attempted to continue the fight from there.

*Anean Continental War
  
−
**On August 30, 2015, Estovakia (led by [[The Generals]]) invaded Emmeria by taking over the nation's capitol, Gracemeria. The Emmerian Forces were pushed backwards to Khesed Island. They slowly began to regain Khesed Island and eventually reached Anea. For sometime, [[Estovakia]] occupied Emmeria from August until December 2016, when Gracermeria was liberated. During the war, the Estovakians used two different megapowerful weapons to take over Anea, the [[P-1112 Aigaion]] and the Chandelier. The Aigaion became a primary issue in taking back Emmeria. The Joint Chiefs of Staff launched a plan of action to destroy the meddlesome supercraft. The plan was to take over Chavalia Air Force Base. With Chavalia captured, the REAF ([[Emmerian Air Force|Republic of Emmeria Air Force]]) received the supplies they needed. On the day of the destruction of the Aigaion, six squadrons participated. It was a very difficult battle, but the REAF succeeded in destroying the craft. Now that the cruise missile dilemma was settled, there was a good chance of Emmeria taking back Gracemeria successfully. As the time passed, the Emmerians have taken back Ragno Fortress and passed through Moloch Desert. Unfortunately, There was yet another block in their path. Estovakia ordered a scorched-earth policy toward Gracemeria. A WMD catalyst was heading straight for [[Gracemeria]]. This became a major problem for the recapturing. Fortunately, the Joint Chiefs of Staff formed a plan that destroyed the WMD thanks to [[28th Fighter Squadron]] ([[Garuda Squadron]]). The final move was taking back Gracemeria, which was a complete success. But, the war was not over. The night of the liberation, cruise missiles suddenly attacked Gracemeria. Emmerian ESM support, Snake Pit, discovered the location of the cruise missiles. The attack was from the Chandelier, a powerful railgun originally produced for the destruction of Ulysses, but wasn't completed by the time the asteroid hit. All EAF pilots headed for [[Estovakia]] to destroy the railgun and end the war. Thanks to the Garuda Team, the Chandelier was demolished and the war was brought to a close.

The unprepared Aurelian Forces were overrun by the Leasath Forces lead by General Diego Gaspar Navarro. By mid-2020 Aurelia was almost completely occupied by the Leasath Military. Gathering what little strength they had left, Aurelia launched an out-numbered counter-attack against the Leasath Forces. Though constantly outnumbered the Aurelian Forces managed to claim victory and regain their land. During the process they had destroyed Leasath's feared Gleipnir and eventually retook their capital city, Griswall. This was in large part, thanks to Gryphus One, better known as "the Southern Cross". General Diego Gaspar Navarro fled to the near by Danern Straits to finish production of the '[[Fenrir]]', a secret super aircraft. The facility he fled to was attacked by the [[Aurelian Air Force]], lead by [[Gryphus One]] and destroyed, along with the Fenrir prototypes. The development Fenrir was later found to be the cause of the Aurelian-Leasath War. General Diego Gaspar Navarro has since disappeared after failing to regain power in Leasath, his whereabouts are unknown. '''More Information on''': The [[Leasath-Aurelia War]]
