* literature/{{Discworld}} geopolitics as described by Creator/AAPessimal. The logic is simple; the Klatchian armed forces, if ever concentrated together for an all-out attack on Ankh-Morpork, are so numercially vast as to make any resulting conflict a CurbStompBattle. Whilst Vetinari - bankrolled by all the spare money that has been building up over the generations in the Ramkin family vaults - has been investing in qualitatively superior fighting ships and even an Air Force, he far prefers cheaper and more indirect means of deterring Klatch from any repeat of the [[Literature/{{Jingo}} Leshp business]]. For one thing, he doesn't want an over-strong Army getting ideas about a change of Patrician. Therefore, Ankh-Morporkian foreign policy is directed towards causing so much trouble for Klatch in its outlying debatable provinces, and in ensuring [[BadassIsraeli small states on its borders]] are adequately armed. Resistance movements in rebellious provinces receive Ankh-Morpork-made weapons with the serial numbers filed off. The net result is that those superior Klatchian numbers are nullified by its armed forces having to be split across up to nine or ten troublespots and in staring contests across problematical borders.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', the resistance against the Garlean occupiers in neighboring Ala Mhigo serves as a subplot through much of the main story, until an extremist unleashes a [[FantasticNuke Primal]] in a FalseFlagOperation which forces the Eorzean Alliance to finally take an active role in the conflict, thus setting off the events of the Stormblood expansion. Meanwhile, another resistance in the far eastern land of Doma rises up against the Garlean occupiers there as well, only to be brutally crushed; during the course of the Stormblood story, the Alliance decides to send aid to the Doman resistance (in the form of the player) in order to force the Garleans to split their attention between the two fronts, a plan which ultimately succeeds in liberating both nations.
