=== Novaran Cold War ===
=== Novaran Cold War ===
It would take decades for Astela to recover from the war. Faced with its failure to retake Lucroza, the GUG now allied itself closely with Volscina and maintained its claim as the one true Celanoran government. The military rule that had consolidated throughout the Great War remained in place and gradually expanded to dominate every segment of Astelan society and economics. Astela now existed at the front line of the new Novaran Cold War, and transformed into something of a garrison state with harsh conscription laws enforced upon the population and a fiercely militarized border maintained with Celanora.

=== Volscine Civil Wra ===
The end of the Cold War and the outbreak of the Volscine Civil War left Astela adrift and without its great power patron. The GUG found itself struggling to maintain power amidst a crippling economic collapse and the loss of outside support. Faced with this difficult scenario, the GUG sought to normalize ties with Celanora, which itself hoped to stave off the disaster that would come with an Astelan collapse and a potential need to absorb the dilapidated territory. Cryrian-brokered negotiations resulted in the Treaty of Talvere, which finally saw the GUG relinquish its claim to Celanora, and in turn led Celanora to recognize Astela as a separate and fully independent nation. The border between the two nations also saw a limited drawdown of forces and a reduction in tensions, allowing both nations to rededicate their resources to their increasingly unstable Volscine frontiers.
