The Leiden Protocols (LP), informally known as the 'Little Entente', is a multinational alliance and trade bloc founded by the nations of Anglia and Lechernt and Bataviae, with Camia, Khalistan and Vangala joining later. Established in the aftermath of the One Month War, the Leiden Protocols consists of former nations of the Entente Cordiale (EC) who broke off from the alliance after the EC suffered significant losses in the war against the Namhae Front.
The governments of Anglia and Lechernt, and the Kingdom of Bataviae felt that the poor cooperation between EC member states during the brief conflict was the reason many avoidable casualties were suffered. Because of this, the two nations announced they would break away from the EC. Within four months of the formation of the Leiden Protocols, Camia announced its surprise switch to it, citing difficulties it foresees in international politics after the stalemate of the One Month War and the compromised position of the Entente Cordiale (in the locality of the Meh Sea) after the exit of A&L and Bataviae.

Since the construction of its naval base in Kolodoria, Menghe has been able to deploy SSGNs quickly into the Crimson Sea and launch attacks on the EC country's mainland. Which it demonstrated in the OMN, causing significant damage to several RAF bases and even attacking Southern Cross central command near Leiden. A retaliation strike was planned to take out the naval base but was talked down by diplomats from the Fire Territories and Banbha. The governments of Anglia and Lechernt and the Fire Territories have come to a mutual understanding that the Namhae Front's expansion and influence are a growing concern, especially as the NF feels able to launch attacks on other states to achieve its geopolitical goals. Even after A&L's split from EC, it still shares security concerns with the remaining EC members. Fyreland requested to become an observer of the Leiden Protocols to help facilitate post-split EC-LP collaboration.
The principal drivers for Fyr's LP observer status are:
- Expanded Menghean influence and willingness to resort to aggression against peer states to achieve geopolitical goals.
- The litany of states that either explicitly or tacitly support the Namhae Front's actions through means of materiel, policy, or idle empowerment.
- A perceived need to counter NF's western expansion passively without increased defence commitments, principally through diplomacy, intelligence sharing, posturing, and reframed geopolitical goals.
- An aim to place the nation as a bridge between cooperative, like-minded nations, emphasising saving existing geopolitical structures from malign influence.
