With the formation of two major camps, the international situation had become increasingly clear. One was the Continental Alliance, centered on the Holy Roman Empire as an anti-United Kingdom coalition; the other was the Anti-Holy Roman Empire Alliance, the Pan Oceanic Front, formed by Britannia.

The escalation of armed conflicts everywhere indicated that apart from a formal declaration of war, Shinra and Britain were already engaged in an actual war.
The primary members of the Continental Alliance were mostly concentrated in Europe, which had the existing organizational framework of the Continental Alliance, only undergoing slight functional changes. The Pan Oceanic Front led by the British, however, faced more trouble.
