{{Main|International Republican Coalition}}
[[File:RTL IRC Logo new.png|thumb|99x99px|Emblem of the IRC]]
Russia espouses National Republicanism (also sometimes known as ''Vosstanism''). It is a radical republican ideology that emphasizes civic nationalism, national autarky, and anti-mercantilism. It seeks to promote the interests of a particular nation by opposing corporate and monarchical institutions. The International Republican Coalition, led by Russia, operates on these principles, promoting regional stability, mutual defense, and defending the interests of its member states against perceived external threats, such as western imperialism. The IRC supports authoritarian governments and is associated with a more centralized, state-driven approach to governance.
===The Organization of Democratic Nations

The [[Organization of Democratic Nations|Organization of Democratic Nations (ODN)]], on the other hand, is composed mainly of liberal democracies, including former colonies and post-colonial states, emphasizing democratic governance, human rights, and individual freedoms, led by Great Britain. It seeks to maintain stability and security in the international community through diplomatic means and military defense when necessary, promoting the idea of collective security and cooperation among member states.
This period of geopolitical rivalry, although not resulting in direct large-scale warfare, has shaped international relations and global politics for decades, with both sides working to advance their interests and undermine those of the other.
==Synopsis==
==Major proxy conflicts ==▼
From 1940-1950, the world witnessed numerous proxy conflicts and political shifts, such as the Russian reorganization of Alyeska into an autonomous National Republic, the [[Peru#The Lima-Belém Conspiracy|Lima-Belem conspiracy]] in South America, and the founding of the [[International Republican Coalition]]. With the British Empire and Russia vying for influence worldwide, regions like central Europe, Asia, and Africa experienced unrest and power struggles. The [[Organization of Democratic Nations]] was formed in response to the IRC, and [[Minor organizations or factions in the Silent War|minor alliances such as the Pacific Rim Security Treaty]] were established. The decade also saw the rise of decolonization movements, culminating in the Indian War of Independence from the National Republic of [[Jambu]] and various African nations being granted independence from Britain.
The development and possession of [[Nuclear Technology in RTL|nuclear weapons]] played a significant role in the balance of power between Britain and Russia. In the early 1950s, Britain conducted its first public nuclear weapons test, showcasing its capability and serving as a deterrent against potential Russian aggression. This show of force influenced Russia's decision to refrain from attacking Japan during a tense period of conflict. By 1954, Russia also acquired practical nuclear bombs, further escalating the potential consequences of any direct confrontation between the two superpowers. The presence of nuclear weapons on both sides contributed to an atmosphere of caution and a preference for engaging in proxy wars and diplomatic maneuvering rather than direct military conflict.
From 1950 to 1965, the Silent War saw the establishment of new alliances, decolonization, and proxy wars. The [[Association of North American Nations|Association of North American Nations (ANAN)]] was founded to promote regional cooperation in North America, while Genoa and Corsica underwent revolutions. Decolonization efforts resulted in the creation of multiple new states, including the Dominion of the East Indies and the Sultanate of Dar Runga. Conflicts such as the [[Numidian-Algerian War]] War, the Russo-Persian War, and the Austrian Civil War highlighted the ongoing power struggles between Britain and Russia, with their respective allies taking sides. Additionally, Japan's Dirty War saw the repression of National Republicans and the rise of the Emperor's popularity.
===Wars between sovereign nations===
=====Numidian-Algerian War (1957-1958)=====
{{Main|Numidian-Algerian War}}
The Algerian-Numidian War was a conflict that took place between the newly decolonized nations of Algeria and Numidia in the late 1950s, during the broader context of the Silent War. The war began shortly after both countries gained independence from Britain in 1955, fueled by territorial disputes, historical grievances, and the influence of competing global powers. The conflict was characterized by a series of skirmishes and border clashes that ultimately resulted in the establishment of an Algerian-Numidian Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in 1958.
===Insurgencies, rebellions, or civil wars===
=====Rise of National Republics=====
National Republican parties around the world took power in countries experiencing political instability or pro-independence movements, they aligned with Russian interests, creating a more polarized world and intensifying the Silent War between the major powers. At the founding of the International Republican Coalition (IRC) in 1941, there were 13 nations that described themselves as "National Republican." By 1965, that number grew to 31, more than double the number of founding members of the IRC.
