Kingdom of Scandinavia
The largest of the neutral nations, Scandinavia composes the old Earth nations
of Sweden, Norway and Finland (but not Denmark, which is traditionally
considered a Scandinavian nation as the name of the Kingdom refers to the
Scandinavian Peninsula). The Kingdom of Scandinavia is the birth place of Former
PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Siegel Clyne. The Kingdom of Scandinavia
originally chooses to remain neutral in the conflict, but eventually bows to
pressure from the Atlantic Federation and joins the Alliance. After the signing
of the Junius Treaty, the Kingdom of Scandinavia returns to its neutral status.
At the beginning of the Second Bloody Valentine War, the Kingdom of Scandinavia
agrees to rejoin the Alliance after again coming under pressure from the
Atlantic Federation. However, their true loyalties seem to lie with Orb and the
Terminal organization, which is proven when the nation lets the Archangel hide
underwater at the coast of Scandinavia. This is further proven after Durandal's
announcement of his Destiny Plan, as the Kingdom of Scandinavia, together with
the Orb Union, rejects the plan.
Equatorial Union
A union of weak Equatorial nations in Southeast Asia such as India and the
Philippines. The Equatorial Union is largely neutral because its military is not
worth incorporating into the Earth Alliance, with no space forces and no mobile
weapons. However, after the Atlantic Federation places significant pressure on
all the neutral nations, the Equatorial Union does indeed join the Alliance.
After the signing of the Junius Treaty, the Equatorial Union returns to its
neutral status. After the first war they had gained land from Eurasia and at the
beginning of the second war they joined OMNI probably to prevent a war with
Eurasia, however, they may have seceded from the Alliance during the strife and
instability within Eurasia.
DSSD
DSSD (Deep Space Survey and Development Organization) is a neutral organization
established for the purpose of "advancing the frontier" from survey and
development of regions beyond the orbit of Mars. The Earth Alliance, PLANT and
the other Neutral Nations all participated in its establishment. There are bases
within both EA and PLANT. F.e. their Technology Development Center and launch
base is located on the outskirts of Fortaleza, South America. They aim for the
advancement of nations, religions and races. They are the creators of the
GSX-401FW Stargazer, a mobile suit intended for space exploration. Oddly enough,
DSSD apparently does not have access to a mass driver for launching deep space
missions even though mass drivers are much more practical than the traditional
shuttle rocket system used by DSSD. However, this is understandable, as nation
may not trust the DSSD enough to allow them to utilize their mass drivers.
