Polaria has immediately condemned the Prospirian action; however, recognizing that there's nothing it can do, it does nothing to stop it. Polaria has used this as an opportunity to potentially expand its own influence (though this isn't the public goal), and it has proclaimed the foundation of the Organization of Northern States (ONS), inviting every nation on Verharnus except 3Arathus to join. It is centered in Polaria, and has a semi-unified command structure where every nation must contribute at least a third of its military force (land, naval, and air, taken by total value) to the ostensibly jointly-commanded ONS Army (which would be dominated primarily by Polarian commanders, which some others being there to avoid dissent). These invited nations are: Pälysovia-Rønnd Strumland Norvik Taigamura Kupferheim Derschardt Wolfinhan Katphurstan Iratiko Estatua North & South Archia Excluded are: Verskonistan, as they are deemed too under threat and would drag the alliance into a war too early to be winnable 3Arathus, due to their heavy ties to the south and their alliance with a nation being aggressive to the north
