The Federated Provinces hold the smallest territory; they paid the heaviest price in the war; fully entrusting the Sheltering Mountain range to The Federated Provinces' jurisdiction is even more conducive to the overall defensive planning against the Empire.
Paratu firmly opposed the proposal of The Federated Provinces, suggesting that Varn Territory could be annexed by The Federated Provinces as it is nearby, on the condition that Monta Territory must be merged into Paratu.
Neither bordering Monta nor Varn, Vineta could not accept either of the above proposals.
Eventually, under the appeal of Marshal Ned, a compromise was reached: Monta Territory and Varn Territory would join the Alliance as independent republics, with the Alliance government responsible for guiding and supervising the establishment of the republican government and its initial operation, and neither of the two countries would have veto power over Alliance affairs.
