The entire continent is racing toward war.

In the Far East of the Central Continent, a confrontation persists between Jilin, the traditional eastern hegemon, and Polisia, a superpower from the New World across the ocean. While there is no direct kinetic conflict, the two are locked in a state of extreme tension, clashing fiercely over dominance in the semiconductor and defense industries.

In the East of the Central Continent, a large-scale ground war has already broken out between the Schwarzewaffen Federation and the Vestrna Federation. Schwarzewaffen is pushing the front lines forward, leveraging superior industrial productivity led by Rheinmetall, formidable tank forces, and excellent doctrine and technology. The KF51 Panther, Schwarzewaffen's new tank appearing on the front, has become the terror of the battlefield, unilaterally destroying Vestrna's main battle tanks with the firepower advantage of its 130mm smoothbore gun.

Also in the East, the rivalry between the Grand Duchy of Chestina, a staunch ally of Polisia, and the Socialist Republic of Bratislania, an ally of Vestrna and Jilin, intensifies daily. Unlike Chestina—a wealthy democratic constitutional monarchy with advanced technology and immense industrial power—Bratislania is a poor rogue dictatorship armed only with nuclear weapons and missiles. With Vestrna's support, Bratislania is seeking a qualitative military upgrade by developing the new Cheonma-2 tank, hypersonic glide vehicles, and new Aegis destroyers. To make matters worse, as Polisia-Chestina relations sour due to Polisia's 'America First' policy, calls for nuclear armament are rising among the Chestinan public, and support for right-wing parties is skyrocketing.

In the West of the Central Continent, the situation has temporarily simplified as Brenstrick and Schwarzewaffen have formed a tactical alliance. However, political, economic, and military tensions between the Brenstrick-Schwarzewaffen-Triomphante trio still exist, intensifying in quieter directions. Triomphante is increasingly cornered diplomatically as its centuries-old rival Brenstrick joins forces with Schwarzewaffen. In response, Triomphante is implementing military buildup plans, including the construction of the Libre-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Northern Central Continent remains peaceful, but Vestrna's pressure on the nominally neutral Kingdom of Nordenrik is mounting. Nordenrik, dubbed the "Schwarzewaffen of the North" for its immense industrial capacity, is increasing weapons production and expanding military cooperation with Schwarzewaffen as it steps up its rearmament.

In the deserts of the Southern Central Continent, Abelia—its pride wounded by an unprecedented terrorist attack—is going on a rampage. Mobilizing its full air and ground power, Abelia is using precision strikes, carpet bombing, and scorched-earth tactics to pulverize not only terrorist organizations but also the neighboring countries that supported them, all with the strong backing of Polisia, Schwarzewaffen, and Chestina. Abelia's F-35I, F-15I, and F-16I are unilaterally violating neighboring airspaces to destroy targets, while its latest AI-equipped tank, the Merkava Mk. IV Barak, is showing remarkable results—neutralizing urban guerrillas and using APS to block enemy drones and anti-tank missiles.

Moving away from the traditional bipolar system centered on the Polisia-Vestrna rivalry toward a multipolar world, conflicts are expanding, and all signs point toward total war.
