GATO v FOK
GATO, having PIATs with -AiD- and NTO, declared war on FOK but claimed it was a 'side war' and not part of the larger conflict. When TOP threatened to become involved due to their MDP with FOK, which would have been legal despite TOP's declaration of neutrality only because of GATO's insistence that this was a 'side war', GATO changed their stance and claimed their involvement was indeed a front in the Unjust War.

GATO's involvement invoked questions, since they didn't have an MDP with any alliance in the war, but rather had PIATs. GATO interpreted aid as coming to aid with military force against another alliance when their allies (-AiD- and NTO) asked for it.

NPO v GOLD/FAN
NPO's involvement in the war is limited to a declaration against GOLD for arranging aid to FAN, with whom NPO has been at war as part of the FAN-WUT War. Though there are conflicting understandings of NPO's stance in this conflict, | the NPO DoW states that NPO has declared "its involvement in the current global conflict," and is by default taking a stance against allies of the Unjust Path. This implies that NPO considers the ongoing FAN-WUT War to be part of this conflict, so both NPO and FAN have been included as combatants, despite FAN's declaration of neutrality. GOLD's involvement against CIS ensures their "complete" involvement.
