Bloc

A Bloc can be either:

- A group of people with the same aims, interests or goals. Often used in terms of voting i.e. a group of representatives voting in the same way, or

- A group of countries (or in this case alliances) in a special group, again with the same aims, interests or goals. These blocs are very often joined together by various pacts, such as MADPs, whereby all paticipating alliances hold nd maintain the same pacts with the other alliances in that bloc.
