People's Holy Republic	(Asian Christian Communists)
South Asian Imperium (South/South East	Asian "secular" group)
plus variations of more conventional groups (The NAC is not alone in
having splinter groups, or diverse groups traditionally associated with
other mainstream Blocs) such as Royal Russian Republic, New European

groups.  Just like real life (patent pending)!
