 * Ildoa Kingdom (イルドア王国) - The Kingdom was accepted to come forward as an intermediary, who will hold the ceasefire negotiations between Union and Reich. Union stopped the activities of the radical left that were inside Ildoa as their requirement.

During the Great Purge, most of the high-ranking naval officers had been executed or sent to the gulag. They have low amount of naval vessels and heavy long-ranged battleships. They also have no elite coach to train their navy who could equal the powers of other nations. In the volume 6, Drake described it as “ the blank software with the antiquated hardware”.

Airforce
They have large amount of normal forces but sometimes lack of training. These are the reason that some of their planes always ended up crashing either by The Empire planes or wrong landing. On the other side, during the Communists Revolution, most of the mages, whom the communists recognized as the idols of royalists, had been sent to the gulag. Hence, in the early period of the war against the Empire, the army suffer from the horrifying attack by the enemy's flight mages.
