Eurasian Federation
The Eurasian Federation is a member of the Earth Alliance, second only to the
Atlantic Federation in power and influence. The Eurasian Federation is a fusion
of the European Union (minus Great Britain and Ireland) with Eastern Europe and
the Middle East. Although allied against ZAFT, the Eurasian and Atlantic
Federations have long been rivals, and a strong undercurrent of mistrust remains
between them.
Compared to the Atlantic Federation, the Eurasians are not strongly controlled
by Blue Cosmos and are more tolerant of Coordinators in their own ranks. When
the Archangel was docked in Eurasian Federation base Artemis, base commander
Garcia made an offer to Kira Yamato that the Eurasians would protect him from
his own people (Coordinators) if he would help them, something a Blue Cosmos
member would never do. Another example is Special Operative Canard Pars, who was
allowed to work for the Eurasians in exchange for his life. While the Atlantic
Federation, and with them Blue Cosmos, also used Coordinators, their so called
"Combat Coordinators" were mentally controlled by the Atlantic Federation. The
only Coordinators not mentally controlled by the Atlantic Federation were the
young ones of the first generation who were born in the Atlantic Federation in
the last years before the "Coordinator ban" was reinstated, because they have no
reason to betray them, also they have some dislike toward the PLANTs and view
them as cowards. Blue Cosmos might had some sort of deal in place, where if they
serve in the military and do not betray the Atlantic Federation, Blue Cosmos
will not annoy them or their families or kill them. Canard Pars was not
controlled mentally, though was placed in handcuffs because of his abilities and
short temper. Garcia has also said that he hates Coordinators like Canard, but
not Coordinators as a whole. Further examples include the hiring of Serpent Tail
Mercenary, Gai Murakumo, who is also a Coordinator, into the ranks of the
Eurasian Federation military. As a result, an assumption can be made that
Eurasian Federation does not care if a person is a Coordinator or a Natural -
all that matters is that the person is on their side.
The Eurasian Federation resents its inferior position to the Atlantic
Federation, which has been exacerbated by the Atlantic Federation's successful
development of mobile suits. Eventually, the Eurasian Federation produces newer,
even more advanced mobile suits of its own, such as the CAT1-X Hyperion series.
The two rivals were evenly matched as a result; while Atlantic Federation
completely outnumbered the Eurasian Federation, the Eursians had technologically
superior weapons. With the heavy losses the Atlantic Federation suffered in the
last months of the war, the Eurasian Federation's influence in the Earth
Alliance seemed poised to grow. After the first war they lost large amounts of
territory to the Equatorial Union and ZAFT controlled African Community.
During the colony drop of Junius Seven, the Eurasian Federation suffered
heavily, with severe damage to many historical cities including Rome, London,
Prague and Athens. Rome and Athens were hit especially hard; the Basilica of St.
Peter and the Acropolis were both destroyed by debris hits.
At the beginning of the subsequent second EA-PLANT war, many factions within the
Eurasian Federation sought to withdraw from the Earth Alliance, which resulted
in Atlantic Federation forces being deployed against those states. They did not
have the support of the Eurasian main forces and thus were quickly defeated. It
is also unknown that how many or which Eurasian states were against the war. The
Atlantic Federation, at the command of Blue Cosmos/Logos, used the GFAS-X1
Destroy to maintain control of Eurasia, which led to even stronger anti-Atlantic
and anti-Alliance sentiment in Eurasia due to the near destruction of Berlin and
other smaller cities by the Destroy.
The Eurasian Federation is lead by a federal council representing the various
nations in Eurasia
