Across South Amervria, Kaetianist rebels, long driven underground by repeated crackdowns, found new momentum when they recently made the decision to join up with the newly reckoned force, the Ufilien Restitution Army. In Ufilien, years of economic stagnation, government mismanagement, and growing fear of foreign interference had given rise to a local variant of Kaetianism (although this has not been directly stated by UFA leadership, Kaetian intelligence has decided that the two ideologies are very similar) that promised national renewal through discipline, sovereignty, and industrial revival. What began as scattered rural militias gradually mobilized into an organized force, drawing inspiration from Kaetia’s successes (Kaetia proper, not Kaetianist ufiliens lol) and adopting its ideology as a framework for resistance. When the two movements made contact, their goals aligned almost instantly. Kaetianist cells provided training, doctrine, and clandestine support, while the Ufilien fighters supplied manpower, safe mountain bases, and a cause rooted in local grievances. Together they formed a united revolutionary front that threatened to reshape the political balance of the entire region.

How has Kaetianism persisted in Ufilien exactly? Well, it really hasn't. While crackdown efforts by the Ufilien military were weak, the rebels were weak too thanks to Kaetia's cutting of military support, leaving them vulnerable to ufilien advances. This pushed the Kaetianist militias into a state of dormancy, which was only reawakened by their alliance with the UFA. 

The UFA's most strategic holding remains to be Port Riviodisi, from which the UFA has fortified it to the max. This has greatly caught the attention of the KSR, which has eyed Ufilien as a potential political experiment to see if Kaetianism might succeed elsewhere.
