Belka is a fictional country that was created in the PlayStation 2 video game Ace Combat 5 by Namco.

This information has been accumulated by interpretation of events in Ace Combat 5, some information maybe out of date/incorrect by the time of the next game in the series, Ace Combat Zero, which concentrates on the Belkan War.

This article contains spoiler infomation for Ace Combat 05 and Ace Combat Zero

Location

The Principality of Belka is located north east of Osea, on the un-named Eastern continent (often incorrectly referred to as the Osea continent). Before the Belkan war in 1995, Belka could be estimated as being roughly 505,000 km² (around the size of Spain); during the height of the war, Belka encompassed an area estimated of around 780,500 km² (around the size of Turkey); after the war and loss of its Southern and South Eastern territories it retreated to an area estimated around 390,500 km² (around the size of Zimbabwe).

Belka is a meduim-sized nation, surrounded to the south and east by Ustio, Ratio, Recta, Fato, Gebet and Osea; Belka has also declared war on all of these countries. Belka's North coastline runs along the Arctic Ocean.

Climate

Little is known about Belka's climate. However, judging by its position below the Arctic, it could be surmised that north Belka appears to have very cold winters and cool summers. A mountain range running across the centre of the country may provide some protection for the south.

Belka's most noticable weather conditions consist of heavy snowfall. As a result of the nuclear strike carried out near the end of the Belkan War, most of Belka's central mountain range is too dangerous to inhabit due to radioactive fallout. This seems to have had an effect on the weather patterens of the rest of North Belka, turning it into most of it into an Artic wasteland, throwing North Belka into anarchy. Effects of the blasts also spread as far south as the former Belkan city of Sudentor which only escaped the blast due to the mountains as evidenced by the ground zero crater north of the city.

Notable places

Excalibur site/National Perserve (name likely to change) - a forested area in the heart of Belka. It orginally was a Belkan National Perserve, and had over 60 speices of mammals and over 200 speices of birds. During Belka's military exspansion period, however, the land was bought by the Belkan army as the site to construct their superlaser, Excalibur. Rather then destroying the wildlife's habitat, though, the secretive nature of the excalibur program actually prevented outside influences from effecting them. The wildlife had adapted to living alongside the technology of Belka.
Mt. Schirm - A mine in North Belka from the Belkan Federation's more prosperous era. Probably abandoned during the 80's when the vein went dry, possibly affecting the already chaotic Belkan economy. Later used as a storage facility for several V1 Tactical nuclear weapons to be used by the Yuktobanians and Oseans against each other, until the Razgriz air squadron destroyed the entrance, sealing it for perpituity, presumably.
The Round Table (Area/Airspace B7R) - the main battle zone at the border between Belka and Ustio. The topography makes the location look like a giant circle with a 400 km radius, hence its name. It is supposedly the attack corridor used by Belka to invade not just Ustio, but also its surrounding nations, making it an extremely important strategic location, charged to many Belkan aces to defend. Apparently, it also holds a large natural resource reserves that Belka desperately needs to fund its war effort. Aces who distinguish themselves in this area are known as "Knights of the Round Table".
Stier Castle - An ancient castle in the Stier region, overlooks one of the seven nuclear blast craters left from the Belkan War. President Harling of Osea was kept in captivity here during the Circum-Pacific War of 2010.
Sudentor - The capital of South Belka, later ceded to Osea and becoming part of North Osea. It is one of the sites of the final battles of the Belkan War, as well as the final ground battle in The Circum-Pacific War, between the once-again allied Osean-Yuktobanian forces and the North Osean Grunder Industries working for Belka and a few divisions from Osea and Yuktobania, sent by the warmongers still in power in those countries to defend the Tunnel entrance, so they could gain the V1 nuke the Belkans promised them.
