These are the fictional nations that play a major role in the ''Front Mission'' series.

'''Oceania Cooperative Union'''

The Oceania Cooperative Union (OCU) is a supranational union of countries in Southeast Asia, [[Oceania]], and Australia. The OCU capital, where the OCU Central Parliament located, is [[Canberra]], Australia.<ref>{{cite book|title=Front Mission 2 Guidebook – Wanzers of the Elite|editor=Famitsu Books Editorial|publisher=ASCII|date=January 1998|isbn=978-4-89366-883-7|language=ja}}</ref> The union's roots date back to 2006, when the [[ASEAN|Association of Southeast Asian Nations]] reorganized itself into the Bangkok Economic Alliance. The alliance is later renamed into the Oceania Cooperative Union in 2019 after Australia and Oceania decided to join the bloc. It is finally consolidated as a political union in 2026.

In the localized version of ''[[Front Mission 3]]'', the OCU's full name is presented as "Oceana Community Union". The localized versions of subsequent games use the current naming convention instead.

'''United States of the New Continent'''

The United States of the New Continent (USN) is a supranational union of the [[North America|North]] and [[South American]] countries. The USN capital, where the USN Central Government operates, is [[Washington, D.C.|Washington DC]]. The union's roots date back to 2011, when its relations with Australia began to sour following a diplomatic incident over the detention of an Australian ship named ''The Trinidad''.<ref name="Square Enix"/> The United States and Canada begin negotiations on merging with South American countries after the Republic of Zaftra is formed in 2015. These talks culminate in the creation of the USN five years later.

In the localized versions of ''[[Front Mission (video game)|Front Mission First]]'', ''[[Front Mission 4]]'', and ''[[Front Mission Evolved]]'', the USN is presented as the Unified Continental States (UCS). The localized version of ''Front Mission 3'' retains the original naming convention.

'''European Community'''

The European Community (EC) is a supranational union of the nations in Europe. The capital, where the EC Central Assembly operates, is [[Paris]], France. The union's roots date back to the [[European Union]]'s (EU) genesis in 1993. In the late 1990s, the EU's founding member-states began to convince other European countries to join their banner. The EU is renamed as the European Community in 2005 as the last of the non-EU countries agree to join the bloc.<!-- which was the last country to join? --><ref>{{cite book|title=Front Mission – Front Line Report|last1=Iino|first1=Fumihiko|last2=Iwasaki|first2=Hideo|publisher=LOGOUT Paperback Adventures, Aspect Novels|date=July 1995|isbn=978-4-89366-375-7|language=ja}}</ref>

'''Organization of African Consolidation'''

The Organization of African Consolidation (OAC) is an alliance of African countries.
