Central Pact

The Central Pact, also known as the Central Powers, was a major alliance bloc in Season 1. It fought against the UPA in the First Vassal War, collapsing soon after its loss. It consisted of eight nations across Europe.

Member States
The original founding nations of the alliance were Prussia and the Ottomans, and by the First Vassal War it had grown to eight nations. Warsaw's joining was contentious due to his relationship with the UPA, leading to opposition from Sicily. A deal between Warsaw and Poland was signed shortly after, leading to Sicily removing their objection.

First Vassal War
The First Vassal War was a conflict between the United Polish Alliance and the Central Pact, being declared during the first quarter of year 1. It was declared by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Poland, against five Central Pact members (Prussia, New Sicily, Scotland, Kalmar Union, Croatia). No fighting occurred in the war as the Central Pact capitulated one by one, due to being unprepared for a conflict of such scale.

All CP nations signed separate treaties with the UPA. New Sicily, Croatia, and Scotland became vassals of the Commonwealth while Prussia became a vassal of the Kingdom. The Kalmar Union was annexed by the Kingdom, and the Ottomans paid war reparations and disbanded the Central Pact.
