Where I see my countries stacking up in the Gundam timeline:
Coasting for much of the first half of the century, the Angirisian Dominion still remained among the world's great powers. However, as the Lost Decade approached, things began to change. The changes in the world economy greatly affected the Dominion, and making matters worse was the rising tide of geopolitical instability. The Great War's beginning in 1654 was the final nail in the proverbial coffin. The Angirisians, noting the incredibly weakened position of its centuries-long rival Lanlania, took advantage of their situation by initiating an invasion and subsequent occupation of Pythos. The two nations, backed by their respective allies, battled for years. Much like the Sentric War in ancient times, the Lanlanians penetrated deep into Angirisian territory, scorching the Veridian Islands, besieging and heavily damaging Tythonopolis, laying waste to Mount Arreat and its denizens, destroyed the city of Tristram and even managing to level the capital city of Cathedrium. But even those losses were just a stay of execution as the Angirisians stormed back west, overrunning Pythos and even managing to capture the western half of the former Ustyaran territory. The destruction of much of the western Dominion forced the government north to Aiur, and Angirisian forces began a march north to sure up defenses in the Arreatian Mountain ranges.
It is hard to imagine with the establishment of the major power blocs that the Angirisians jumped at the chance. But as the Great War ended and peace once again somewhat took hold over most of the world, the Angirisian Dominion found itself at a crossroads. The Leoric Dynasty finally collapsed, and the Senate elected an Aiurian as Emperor. The new monarch, Tassadar V, established the Fourth Aiurian Dynasty with its capital at Aiur. Tassadar proclaimed the end of the Dominion Era and began reorganize the country into a Second Angirisian Empire. But while the Throne kept a tight grip on power, it also began to democratize the Empire to a degree. While the later Leorian emperors began to rule with an iron fist as war raged on, the Aiurians relaxed their hand and allowed for prosperity to return. It is at that point that the Angirisian Empire would eventually join the Lagrain Union after much debate and much peace-making with Lanlania and West Brigidna. From that point on, the Angirisians would probably have been involved in many of the LU's major projects, including the Space Elevator and the Solar Systems. How much they would be involved would be hard to determine, as constant HPA intrigue in the Near East would cause the Empire to be perpetually on guard. Angirisian forces would be engaged in conflicts in Rojadavistan, A'Sir and Arkiania as the HPA would continually spark conflict in the Near East.
The First Solar Wars sapped much of Angiris's strength with numerous warlords rising and falling in the Near East, some of them even harassing the Empire itself. Though these warlords did little to threaten Imperial territory, they did cause damage to Imperial interests in neighboring territories, most notably in Rojadavistan. The Empire would also lend support to the LU during the Arkiania Straits War, fighting HPA forces both on Krinis and in Marzanna. With non-aligned states becoming a thorn in the side, the major power blocs agreed stay out of such nations' affairs. The Empire protested, saying that it had no alternative considering the dangerous situation the Empire found itself in. The Second and Third Solar Wars only further exacerbated the problem, as the Empire had to defend its borders not only against regional warlords who managed to rip the Near East apart but also from HPA interlopers.
As 1700 dawns, the Angirisian Empire is in a somewhat precarious position. The new Emperor, Karax, continues to do his best to protect his Empire's borders, all the while backing the Lagrain Union in the new GUNDAM project. Though the Angirisians have a deep distrust of these new "mobile suits", they recognize the worth of these new weapons.
The growing strength of the Solhaven Federation was apparent even in 1600, as the country began to coalesce around the new government and established itself as a dominant power in Kvaenna. Up until the Great War, the Federation had clawed its way into the upper echelon of nations backed by a powerful and innovative military and an economy that had become arguably the strongest in Kvaenna. As war broke out on the continent between Falsea, Taeunas, Goldecia and its allies, and Hylis, the Federation initially declared itself "too proud to fight". Maintaining that stance in public was difficult, while behind the scenes the Federation began mobilizing for war just in case. In 1657, the Federation would be attacked by Falsean and Detectatian forces. The surprise attack caught Solhaven off-guard, and one of the most important defensive posts in the country - Frontier Nine - was heavily damaged and thousands of Federation officers were killed. In response, the Federation launched a massive counter-attack out of the city of Magecastle utilizing the full might of the Federation Navy and Air Force. Facing overwhelming odds, the Falsean-Detectatian alliance was forced to fall back within hours of the Federation attack, and Federation forces bombarded the Falsean city of Northaven. The Great War's end saw the Federation come out stronger than it was before, and much of Kvaenna found itself in the shadow of Solhaven.
The Federation watched with worry for the next two decades as the Great Power Blocs began to form. Kvaenna entirely went to the Lagrain Union, save for Solhaven, and were quickly integrated. Now facing a potentially stronger enemy than before, the Federation began to panic. The LU, as well as the South Sphere Federation and Human Progress Alliance, fought for influence over Solhaven. This led to major instability, and by 1680 the Federation teetered near collapse. Solhaven became a battleground in the First Solar Wars, as energy concerns gripped the planet. What was left of the Federation flailed wildly at the Three Blocs, attempting to stop the bleeding and save itself from destruction. Local governments rose and fell across Solhaven, and civil war was looming just over the horizon. Finally, in 1683, the Federation re-established itself, drove out most of the foreign agents, and restored order to the country. Largely left alone for a decade, Solhaven began to build back up militarily, knowing that it would probably be drawn into another conflict. That next conflict broke out in 1699, when the LU launched Operation Solaris. Angered by Federation nationalization and seizure of LU-run solar relay stations, the Union launched a massive invasion of the Federation and attempted to isolate it from the rest of the world. Using its proxies in Kvaenna and even troops from Brigidna, the LU tore through a massive chunk of the Federation, but not before Federation forces fought back. For the entire year, Federation and LU armies fought to a stalemate, even with the LU having a significant technological and manpower advantage. By the end of 1699, the war was over. The LU was shocked that the Federation - once thought to be a much weaker nation - had actually gone toe to toe with them and survived. Solhaven meanwhile was war-weary and with much of the country in ruins, it had to make peace.
Entering 1700, the Solhaven Federation is still rebuilding from the effects of the Union War. Still remaining outside of all three power blocs, it remains to be seen what the Federation's next move will be.
Though the Human Progress Alliance claimed North Ostara as its territory, the Romulan Republic remained outside of the HPA's control, having remained largely isolationist throughout the 1600s. In truth, the Republic spent much of the century putting itself together rather than worry about affairs in the larger world. The HPA leaned heavily on Romulus, especially as energy demands began to increase and unrest began to grip the world. However, Romulus remained stubbornly intransigent, even refusing to allow HPA delegations to enter Romulan territory. For the first half of the 1600s, the Romulans focused on building their Republic, establishing its military and growing its economy. With no real need for a navy, the Romulans spent much of their time building an air force. Their first great achievement came in 1643, when the very first Warbird was unveiled. This new plane was designed as a multi-mission fighter bomber plane capable of stealth, air combat and ground bombardment. Quickly harnessing their industrial power, the Romulans set to work building more Warbirds in hopes of building an Air Force that could compete with even the most powerful of nations. Eventually, the Romulan Republic became recognized as a regional power, and carved out a small sphere of influence over neighboring Argead and Fotia.
The Great War saw the role of Romulus change dramatically. As the Great Blocs began to form and North Ostara and the Near East became increasingly unstable, the Republic began to take a more overt role in world affairs. Using their Warbirds and the Romulan Uhlan Corps, Republic troops were involved in peacekeeping missions in its neighboring states and even engaged in a brief conflict with Belayazemlya over fishing rights in the Azure Sea. The formation of the Human Progress Alliance, as well as the influence of nearby Lagrain Union allies, put increasing pressure on Romulus. Controversy over the LU's space elevator caused the HPA to provoke fighting in North Ostara and the Near East; HPA agents stirred up the simmering hatred of the Reman people in the eastern Republic and led to a rise in secessionist sentiment in Remus and formerly Reman-controlled cities. In response, Romulan forces launched a crackdown on secessionists in Remus and openly accused the HPA of interfering in Romulan affairs as well as attempting to cause a civil war. The HPA denied these charges, which only further angered the Romulan government. Despite these issues, the Romulans allowed the LU and HPA to construct solar relay stations in Romulan territory, but slapped a high price tag on the stations and a demand not to install military forces at the stations. Both blocs were not pleased with the terms, but acquiesced, secretly hoping to leverage these stations on the Romulans to join their side.
In 1683, the "Rights of Non-Aligned States" agreement was reached between the LU, HPA and South Sphere Federation, an agreement pledging to non-interference in independent nations, Romulus being one of them. Aware of what the blocs had done in places like Solhaven, Lomarre and the Near East, the Republic openly criticized the treaty, saying that it expected the treaty to be violated within six months. However, a year later, the discovery of the "Broda Particle" gave the Romulans the first real opportunity at getting a leg up on the blocs. Using the research of Filip Broda, the Romulans began investing heavily in construction numerous Broda Small Reactors to power both civilian centers and give the military a new fuel source. The Romulans adapted the Broda technology to bolster its fleet, allowing new classes of Warbirds to be built, including the first space-fairing T'Liss Warbird and the D'deridex-class air cruiser. The Romulans also began to attempt to construct their own space elevator, but found themselves frustrated by several mechanical and schematically-related failures.
As 1700 dawned, the Romulan Republic was one of the few space-capable independent powers in the world. Though energy constraints have begun to take its toll on the burgeoning Romulan military-industrial complex, it is evident that for the Republic to survive, it has to walk along the very path that the great blocs did.
