Baltikum maintained its policy of neutrality during the latter part of the Great War. When the Mhorish campaign began in 1938, the fate of Baltikum was unclear. But by a combination of its geopolitical location in the Alba Karinya continent, successful realpolitik manoeuvring during an unpredictable course of events, and a dedicated military build-up before and during the course of the war, Baltikum managed to maintain its official neutrality throughout the war. Iron ore was sold to Ardia while money was donated to Heyra, considering that it had a valuable colony on the western shores of Cotf Aranye, namely Saheristan, and would have preferred peaceful trading than problems directly with warfare against the mighty empire. Because of its neutral status, Baltikum was of considerable interest to all parties involved, as the scene for diplomacy, espionage, commerce, and as a safe haven for refugees. And for the Allies, Baltikum shared military intelligence and also allowed the Allies to use Baltic airbases between 1944 and 1945.
