CORE

An independent military faction founded out of the remains of NATO to counter the CAS threat. Unlike NATO or the Warsaw Pact being treaties between nations, the CORE is funded by nations enrolling in CORE membership in exchange for the CORE's military protections, plus other funding sources. The CORE has been criticised as history's largest protection racket as a result; non-CORE nations became obvious targets for the CAS, so even nations that did not become full members still contributed money and resources. While the CORE presents an image of being the "good guys" on their face, they will do little to nothing for non-CORE members. 
==Influence==
CORE membership has a drastic effect on a nation's law and politics. Almost all CORE nations use a draft system, including the conscription of petty criminals, which is not without controversy as conscripts who do not meet standards tend to be used for cannon fodder.
Furthermore, CORE contract allows the CORE to commandeer the forces of member nations in addition to their own military. This benefits smaller nations without a large military more than larger ones, who abstain from fully joining for this reason.
==Propaganda==
"We did not turn our backs on America, they turned their back on us. But to those who are loyal to us. To those who support us, we will never abandon you. We will face our aggressors head on, and we will fight to the last to protect you. Because we are the CORE. That is what we do."
