One Last Time[]
The alliances that left the Swamp bloc (activated their cancellation clause) are now independent again and it is unknown the FA path any of them will take in the future. However The Lost Empire and Federation sit alone in what remains of the Swamp with their enemies aware of their leaked plans and their reputation at its worst. Even so, on May 2nd 2021, Quack sphere declared a unilateral invasion of all Swamp alliances and struck before the cancellation period was finished. Although Swamp alliances are aligned in the war the bloc itself is still in terminal decline with minimal coordination between alliances.
