List of nations of Ace Combat

This page is a list of the main nations of the Ace Combat series of games.

Federal Republic of Aurelia

Aurelia is a fictional country from the game .

Geography

Aurelia is located on the southern coast of the Osean continent. The country occupies a peninsula, with an isthmus connecting it to the rest of the continent. The western, northeastern and southern coasts are mountainous, while the rest of the country is mostly made up of plains. Aurelia has a temperate climate on the isthmus, gradually becoming semiarid in the center of the nation and subarctic in the southwest. Much of the nation has an alpine climate due to high elevation.

*The country is similar to South America due to its location south of the North American-like superpower of Osea, the Puna region, and several squadron names (Gryphus, for example, is the Andean Condor). Most characters also have Spanish names, and Spanish-speaking newspapers are frequently shown in cutscenes.
*Several other squadrons are named after birds from Australia, such as Ninox.
*Aurelia is similar to South Korea both geographically and in its political relationship with its northern neighbor. Aurelia provided Leasath with large amounts of financial aid during and after its civil war. Despite this generosity, most of Leasath still holds animosity towards Aurelia due to state-sponsored propaganda.
*Like many real countries in the Southern Hemisphere, the constellation Crux (the Southern Cross) is symbolic of Aurelia. Due to its name and prominent symbol, it's likely that Aurelia is based on both Australia and parts of South America.

Military

Aurelia's army primarily uses the T-80UD. Their navy uses many of the same vehicles as the Leasathian Navy.

Principality of Belka (formerly The Belkan Federation)

:"For the Russian dog who was sent into space, see Russian space dogs."

<Belka is a fictional country that was created in the PlayStation 2 video game "Ace Combat 5" by Namco and featured in its prequel Ace Combat Zero.

Location

The Principality of Belka is located north east of Osea, on the Osean main continent. Before the Belkan War in 1995, Belka could be estimated as being roughly 505,000 km² (around the size of Spain); during the height of the war, Belka encompassed an area estimated of around 780,500 km² (around the size of Turkey); after the war and loss of its Southern and South Eastern territories it retreated to an area estimated around 390,500 km² (around the size of Zimbabwe).

Belka is a medium-sized nation, surrounded to the south and east by Ustio, Ratio, Recta, Fato, Gebet and Osea; Belka had also declared war on all of these countries, plus the Kingdom of Sapin. Belka's northern coastline runs along the Arctic Ocean.

Climate

Little is known about Belka's climate. However, judging by its position below the Arctic, it could be surmised that north Belka appears to have very cold winters and cool summers. A mountain range running across the center of the country may provide some protection for the south.

Belka's most noticeable weather conditions consist of heavy snowfall. As a result of the nuclear strike carried out near the end of the Belkan War, most of Belka's central mountain range is too dangerous to inhabit due to radioactive fallout. This seems to have had an effect on the weather patterns of the rest of North Belka, turning it into most of it into an Arctic wasteland, throwing North Belka into anarchy. Effects of the blasts also spread as far south as the former Belkan city of Sudentor which only escaped the blast due to the mountains as evidenced by the ground zero crater north of the city.

However, North Belka was not always as desolate as it is today. A vacation town on the North Belkan coast a few dozen miles west of Dinsmark used to attract travelers from all over the world before the Belkan war with a warm, serene environment.

Culture

Belka bears several cultural similarities to Germany, including its language. Though never spoken in full sentences in either Ace Combat 5 or Ace Combat Zero, almost all Belkan callsigns in the game are German words. These include the ace squadrons Grün (green), Rot (red), Gelb (yellow), Schwarz (black) and Schnee (snow). The Belkan-based Gründer Industries also takes its name from German, as well as several locations in the country, such as Anfang (Beginning), Südentor (Southern Gate), Hoffnung (Hope), Schirm (Umbrella) and Stier (Bull). Several in-universe magazines pictured on the Japanese website are also in German. The magazines are the "Belkan Fleiger," Flieger being German for flyer. [http://www.acecombat.jp/ace-zero/index.htm (world news section)] Belka is in many ways tied particularly to Nazi Germany as it follows the same pattern as being taken over by a fascist government following a national crisis (in Germany's case, hyperinflation after World War I; in Belka's case, collapse of the economy due to a lack of natural resources caused by regions such as Ustio declaring their independence. )The division of North and South Belka after the Belkan War is also similar to division of West and East Germany after World War II.

It should also be noted that the plot by the Belkan military remnants to start a war between Osea and Yuktobania resembles somewhat the plot by neo-Nazis to start a war between the United States and the Russian Federation in the theatrical adaptation of the Tom Clancy novel The Sum of All Fears.

Regions

Belka was originally divided into North and South Belka. North Belka, also known as Nord Belka, is the Belkan homeland. South Belka was land taken from Osea in an earlier war and acted as a buffer zone between Osea and Belka. After Belka lost the Belkan War, South Belka was returned to Osean territory.

Military

During the Belkan War of 1995 ("Ace Combat Zero") the Belkan Air Force included many elite squadrons. Belka created the XB-0 Hresvelgr superweapon, although it was only used after the war by the "A World With No Boundaries" terrorist organization. [cite video game| title = | developer = Namco| publisher = Namco| date = 2006-04-25
platform = Playstation 2| level = Mission 15| language = English] In "Ace Combat 5", the only known Belkan Air Force units are Grabacr and Ofnir squadrons.

The Belkan army uses similar weaponry as Yuktobania in both the Belkan and Cirum-Pacific Wars.

In 1995, Belka's navy was a very strong force in the Atlantic region. Almost all classes of vessels were used in "Ace Combat 5" by their enemy Yuktobania. While the Belkans have at least one aircraft carrier, [cite video game
title = | developer = Namco| publisher = Namco| date = 2006-04-25| platform = Playstation 2| level = Campaign Records| language = English] the naval forces encountered in Ace Combat Zero are focused on anti-aircraft warfare. By 2010, Belka's navy seems considerably reduced. The only ships encountered are gun boats and a Sea Shadow. [cite video game| title = | developer = Namco| publisher = Namco| date = 2004| platform = Playstation 2| level = Mission 27| language = English]

Belkan is one of four nations known to possess nuclear weapons (the other three being Osea, Erusea, and Yuktobania). Belka produces two special powerful nukes: the V1 tactical nuke and the V2 MIRV Nuclear Missile. Belka's nuclear weapons share their name with the German V-weapons.

Free Erusean Republic

Erusea is a fictional country in the Ace Combat world that first appeared in the PlayStation 2 game Ace Combat 4 as the game's antagonist, and was briefly mentioned in the sequel Ace Combat 5 and in 5's prequel Ace Combat Zero. At it's height, it occupied 90% of the continent east of Usea, conquering various independent states. Later a counter-attack by the Independent States Allied Force (ISAF) liberated the continent and resulted in Erusea itself becoming occupied.

Location

Erusea is located on the Western coast of the Usean continent, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the West and Cascade Ocean to the north, and San Salvacion to the east. It's land area is briefly revealed in Ace Combat 4's first mission briefing when it is shown as the darkened area of western Usea before this darkened area consumes all of Usea showing all the territory taken by Erusea. Erusea's actual territory can be seen on the map at the top of the page.

Climate

From what is seen in-game, Erusea has a mostly temperate climate [cite video game

Military

Erusea's army mainly uses NATO equipment. Like the rest of the Erusian military, it is large and powerful, and was able to conquer the Usean Continent. Erusian army aviation includes a mix of Russian and American helicopters.

On the Usean continent, Erusea stands out because of the ace pilots in its Air Force. The Erusian Air Force fields American, Russian and European equipment.

Erusea's navy is seen in several "Ace Combat 04" missions. Although much of it is destroyed in ISAF's attack on Comberth Harbor, small groups of Erusean warships are in later missions. The Erusian Naval Air Force operates American, Russian, and European fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Nicknamed the "Invincible Fleet", the Aegir Fleet [cite video game| title = | developer = Namco| publisher = Namco| date = 2001-10-23| platform = Playstation 2| level = Mission 6| language = English] was stationed in Comberth Harbor, on the east Usean coast during the Continental War. Most of the names are based on birds or Old English and Norse legends.Fact|date=July 2008

Democratic Republic of Leasath

Leasath (pronEng|leɪsæθ) is a fictional country from the game . It seems to also share similarities to North Korea, especially in its relationship to the Federal Republic of Aurelia. After going through years of civil war, Leasath is now led by Commanding Officer Diego Gaspar Navarro. Navarro is an arms dealer who has profited immensely through the years of war and declares war with Aurelia under false pretenses to continue that profit. As a country, however, Leasath has a high amount of poverty due to the years of civil war. During the war, Aurelia provided Leasath with food and money; however, Navarro spent these resources on weapons and armament to increase his own wealth.

Leasath's superweapons include the massive air fortress Gleipnir and its derivative fighter, the Fenrir.

Geography

Leasath is on the Southern Osean Continent, bordered to the east by the Spring Sea and to the south by Aurelia. Leasath has a temperate climate near the Aurelian isthmus, and a semiarid climate on its southeastern islands.

Leasath is similar to North Korea both geographically and in its political relationship with its southern neighbor. Aurelia provided Leasath with large amounts of financial aid during and after its civil war. Despite this generosity, most of Leasath still holds animosity towards Aurelia due to state-sponsored propaganda. Even after years of civil war, Leasath united under Diego Navarro and the hatred towards Aurelia that his regime inspired.

Military

Leasath's air force was heavily involved in their superweapons program. They operated the Gleipnir and its derivative fighter, the Fenrir. The Gleipnir is a massive airborne fortress that was built by the Democratic Republic of Leasath. [Dominick Hardy, " [http://games.kikizo.com/reviews/psp/acecombatx_p1.asp "Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception": The best handleld aerial warfare, but for how long?] " on "Kikizo".] It is seen in the game "". [Jeff Haynes, " [http://psp.ign.com/articles/718/718802p1.html "Ace Combat X" Progress Report: We take off into the wild blue yonder with new impressions, screens and movies] ," "IGN" (July 14, 2006).] The Gleipnir was also used for the construction of its derivative super-fighter, Fenrir.

The Gleipnir was used in the Leasath-Aurelia War in 2020. It is a first-strike superweapon with six unknown engines. Its araments are SWBM (Shock-wave Ballistic Missile), for long range air-to-air attacks, the Shock Cannon, for ground attacks and multiple SAMs and AA Guns. It also has an optical camoflauge cloaking system, codenamed "Digital Optical Stealth" (DOS, for short).

After accomplishing mission 1, a short-cut scene will show the Gleipnir flying over the Puna Plains, firing an SWBM and destroying all Aurelian fighters at Cape Aubrey, except for Gryphus 1 and 5.

The Gleipnir then relocated to its hangar on Terminus Island. While that happened, the Aurelian forces lauched a surprise attack on Puna Base and Port Patterson. Soon after taking back the port, the forces headed over to Terminus Island in F-16C Fighting Falcon aircraft. Gryphus 1, however, can fly in any aircraft. They were escorted by the Aurelian 1st Fleet on an aircraft carrier. Soon after arrival, the Gleipnir appeared, fired the Shock Cannon at the 3rd Fleet and disappeared again.

Gryphus One then managed to bring the DOS critical and offline. The Gleipnir then faced the Aurelian aircraft with its SWBMs. Gryphus 1 then destroyed the SWBMs, along with some conventional AA Guns. The airborne fortress climbed and immediately flew to the city of Santa Elva and commenced repairs.

When the fortress, however, was still undergoing repairs, the Gryphus Squadron arrived. The Gleipnir had to use conventional weapons to attack the aircraft (Depending on which missions were complete, the Gleipnir may have more). Gryphus 1 got rid of the weaponry. The Captain then turned the fortress upside down in a shocking feat and used the Shock Cannon on the aircraft. Gryphus One destroyed the cannon once and for all, and the Gleipnir crashed into a river and exploded, flowing through Downtown Santa Elva.

In another scenario, the player is fighting a fully-powered Gleipnir in Santa Elva. Nevertheless, the fortress can have reduced stealth/conventional weapons depending on the missions you complete. Once the fortress had optical camoflauge critical, the SWBMs were destroyed. Then the captain brought the Gleipnir's nose vertically upwards to power up the Shock Cannon and to use it on the city; however, Gryphus 1 destroyed the cannon, and the crew gave in. They then tried to destroy the city by kamikaze, but the fortress missed, crashed and exploded.

Alect Squadron is an elite unit of six pilots in the Leasath Air Force. During the Aurelian conflict, they flew S-32s, prototypes of the Su-47 "Berkut". The player has the option to intercept them at the Danern Straits before they reach Archelon Fortress. Otherwise, they take control of Fenrir. When four of the pilots are shot down in 'End of Deception II', a fifth member attempts to retreat to mainland Leaseath, but is stopped before he does so.

Leasath's navy uses relatively outdated classes of ships, almost all of which saw action in the Continental War, 16 years before the conflict with Aurelia.

The Skylla Unit, named after the Greek monster Scylla,Fact|date=July 2008 is an elite special forces team in the Leasath Army specializing in anti-aircraft operations. They can also be an offensive unit, as shown in the mission "Wild Card", where after the first wave of the Leasath offensive was neutralized, they attempted to breach the defense perimeter of the capital by using their equipment as cruise missile launchers.

The Miller Unit is an elite special forces unit of Leasath which specializes in blitzkrieg tactics. They can be seen in action in the "Last line of defence" mission spearheading their way to Port Patterson. If the player chooses another mission, they must be defeated inside the facility in Port Patterson.

Hamlet is a Leasath Army Special Forces Unit. During the war with Aurelia, they attacked the Aurelian city of Santa Elva with the nerve gas Cynocrine, indiscriminately endangering thousands of lives if it meant possession of the city as it was a vital transport route for both armies. This, however, can be prevented if the player chooses to silence them and allied forces at the Kalana Steppes.

Osean Federation

Osea is a fictional country that was first introduced in the PlayStation 2 video game "Ace Combat 5" by Namco, and was later featured in its prequel Ace Combat Zero. Osea is said to be the world's largest superpower, however Yuktobania rivals it in size as well as military might. Osea resembles the United States in government structure, ideals, and the American accent with which dialogue is spoken.

Land Area

The Osean Federation is located in the western and center of the Osean continent, which amounts to about 60% of its land mass. There is no numerical estimate to the size of Osea, but it's estimated that Osea is at least 3 or 4 times the size of Belka before "The Belkan War", (which itself is estimated to be around 12,335,000² km), and appears to be similar in size to the country it is most comparable to in the real world, the United States .

Osea is a vast nation, with Ceres Ocean on its Northwest coast, the Pacific Ocean bordering the Southwest coast, the Cascade Ocean to the Northeast, and Oured Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in the Southeast. It was bordered by Belka and Sapin before The Belkan War, but after Osea gained South Belka (North Osea) in the conflict with Belka, it added Ustio to its list of bordering nations. It is bordered by the Wellow Islands in the North.

Climate

While little is known of Osea's climate, it can be interpreted that Osea has a mainly temperate climate, with forests and plains [cite video game

Military

Osea possesses enormous military powers, mainly consisting of "Defense Forces", although technically defense forces do not carry out offensive military strikes. Osea has a large Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Army that are normally charged with the defense of Osea, that case was made exceptional with the events of "Ace Combat 5" when the Osean Defense Forces were pressed into service as a regular military force. Osea possesses the most technologically advanced equipment in the Ace Combat world and also possesses troops and weapons by the millions. Like Yuktobania and Erusea, Osea possesses large amounts of real-world military hardware from the U.S., Europe, Russia, and Japan.

The Osean naval fleet consists of mainly American and European ships.

Osean Military uniforms draw a great deal of inspiration from the US Military, even having almost a direct copy of US Military ID Cards currently issued to US Forces.

Kingdom of Sapin

The Kingdom of Sapin is a fictional country from the game . It is thought to be based on real-life Spain, due to various descriptions of the area, the accent of pilots from there, and the fact that "Sapin" is a simple anagram of "Spain". There are two squadrons from Sapin in the game, one named , Spanish for Sword, and Suerte, Spanish for Luck. the nation's capital, Gran Rugido, means "Great Roar."

Sapin is bordered by Oured Bay to the south, Ustio to the north, the Futuro canal to the west, and Ratio to the east.

Military

The Kingdom of Sapin's military, while not as strong as its neighbor Osea's, was still an important contributor to the Allied Forces during the Belkan War. After the war, several units from the Sapin military defected to A World With No Boundaries.

Although never seen in "Ace Combat Zero," Sapin's Navy fought in the conflict. They have at least three fleets, one of which was totally destroyed by the Belkan 7th Air Division, 65th Tactical Fighter Squadron.

Republic of Ustio

Ustio (pronounced oo-stee-oh) is a fictional country in the Ace Combat world that was first introduced in the PlayStation 2 video game "Ace Combat Zero" by Namco. It is geographically similar to real-life Switzerland.

Location

The Republic of Ustio is located to the East of Osea and Southeast of Belka. After its independence, it had around three times the land it has now, but by the time of The Belkan War, most of the land had gone to Recta, Gebet, and Ratio. It is a small nation, about the size of Austria, and less than half the size of Belka at its height, but comparable to it, more or less, after its fall.

Ustio is a landlocked country not bordering any major bodies of water. It is bordered by Belka, Sapin, Ratio, Recta, and after The Belkan War, by Osea.

Climate

Ustio has an amazingly diverse climate for its small size. Ustio has a mountain belt that runs through the country. This has created alpine and tundra conditions in the south, where the mountain range is. In the north, around B7R, the climate seems more arid, forming the craggy canyons that we see. The capital, Directus, is fairly temperate.

Military

Ustio has a small army and air force compared to its neighbors of Belka and Osea, but still contributed to the Allies' victory in the Belkan War.

Union of Yuktobanian Republics (Yuktobania)

Yuktobania is a fictional country that was first introduced in the PlayStation 2 video game "Ace Combat 5", and later mentioned briefly in its prequel "Ace Combat Zero". It is one of the largest countries in the Ace Combat World, and rivals the current superpower Osea in terms of military might. Yuktobania appears as an allegory to the Soviet Union in real life.

Location

Yuktobania is not located on the same continent as Belka or Osea. It is on the other side of the Ceres Ocean which divides the two main continents. Before the 2010 Circum-Pacific War (otherwise known as the Osean-Yuktobonian conflict) Yuktobania is roughly estimated as being 14,660,000 km² (around the size of Canada) A rather important part of the country has been occupied by the Osean forces during the conflict, but they are assumed to have been given back after the war. Yuktobania is surrounded by Verusa, Sotoa, Clavis and to the north The Kingdom of Nordenavvic, The Republic of Emmeria, and the Federal Republic of Estovakia in the continent of Anea.

Yuktobania is a huge country whose sphere of influence is spread all over the world as one of the world's superpowers. It has been placed on a continent opposite from Osea to show geographically the Eastern-Western split of the world. (As it was in the Cold War in real life.)

Culture

Yuktobania is assumed to have a Slavonic fictional culture, possibly based on the Soviet Union. The architecture of Yuktobania is very industrialised. The name Yuktobania could have been based on Yugoslavia. Bania is an unbased name that should refer to the people of the country, and Yukto a geographical suffix. (Yugo-south , Slavia-designs the people of the region ). The names of Yuktobanian regions and towns has not only a Russian style, but also those from all of eastern Europe, such as Dresdene, Dama lake, Okchabursk, etc. The three most prominent cultures Yuktobania is remniscient of are : Russian, Czech, and Serbo-Croatian. But Russian culture is the most dominant, the Yuktobanians have mostly Russian names, for example: Zubov, Nikanor, Oka Nieba [cite video game

Military

Yuktobania possesses an enormous military, almost (if not, as can be interpreted by some dialogue in game, larger) on par with Osea's. Due to its huge army, Yuktobania could be classified as a superpower. Its military is comprised of the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and Special Forces.

The Air Force is a large branch which contains different squadrons. Molniya, Buran, Luch, Kvant, Gorizont, Zenit, Ofnir (whose later reveal to be Belkans agressor) are the main squadrons. Kvant Squadron appears to be the largest, operating at least 10 wings of 30+ aircraft, while Gorizont appears to be the most well-equipped.Or|date=July 2008 There are also transport squadrons operating among the fighter squadrons Yuktobania uses American, Russian and European aircraft.

The Yuktobanian Navy is a large branch of the Yuktobanian military. Perhaps more impressive than the Yuktobanian surface fleet is her submarine fleet.

The Yuktobanian Army is the largest branch of their military.

Special Forces is a small branch of the military that operates covertly, like the Spetsnaz or to a lesser extent the KGB. The force is named Varyag Special Forces, a small element of which is believed to have carried out terrorist activities during the Circum-Pacific War in response to Osean attack on Yuktobonian civilian installations.
