* Eastern Europe's non-communist undergrounds left over from WWII certainly count. Many of these organizations had been fighting for nearly half a decade or more when WWII ended, and many continued the fight after the Soviets marched in and set up their clients. They had an even more impressive- if anything- track record than the Japanese, in many cases holding out and conducting guerilla warfare until the EIGHTIES.

* In the StarTrekDeepSpaceNineRelaunch, a small fleet of Jem'Hadar warships, led by Kitana'klan, continue to wage war on the Dominion's rivals for several months after the peace treaty is signed. Ashamed of their species' failure to take the Alpha Quadrant, they're determined to renew the fighting even against the will of the Founders. Three months after the conflict's conclusion, they attack Deep Space Nine, destroying the starship ''Aldebaran'' with all hands and damaging the starship ''Defiant''. They are in turn attacked by the loyal Jem'Hadar Taran'atar, who was en route to Deep Space Nine as an envoy on the orders of Odo. He defends the station with his own warship, and eventually foils a secondary plot by Kitana'klan to destoy the reactor core.

* Bolivia [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolivian_Navy still maintains a navy]], despite the country having been landlocked since losing a war to Chile in 1884.

** Ironically, [[spoiler: there are UED remnants left in the K-Sector after their defeat; although the info isn't in the game for the most part, just]] WordOfGod.

* In the StarWarsExpandedUniverse novels, the Empire (referred to as the "[[VestigialEmpire Imperial Remnant]]" by the new government) continues to be the major antagonist despite being defeated in the Battle of Endor. [[HandOfThrawn Fifteen years later]], they are reduced to less than a hundredth of their former strength, and there are ''still'' politicians and commanders who refuse to give up--even though the Supreme Commander notes that the average Imperial citizen probably realized it years ago, and decides on his own to arrange for {{Peace Conference}}s with the New Republic so that the Empire could survive to rise again, one day.

*** Of course, by this time the Empire has [[LighterAndSofter softened considerably]] from the days of Vader and Sidious - the Emperor is very strongly hinted to be a descendant of Han Solo and Leia (through their daughter, Jaina - admittedly, [[LegacyOfTheForce being called Solo isn't an anti-dark side guarantee]]); the anti-alien doctrine is gone to the point where you have Devaronian stormtroopers and Kel Dor admirals; and the new version of the Royal Guards are basically Jedi whose first rule is that if the Emperor goes to the dark side, they have to kill him. Then, of course, the Sith perform a coup and this Empire becomes a ''second'' Remnant, locked in an EnemyCivilWar with a Sith-run Empire where it's pretty much back to the old business of [[EvilLaugh maniacal cackling]] and sneering at opponents. The FantasticRacism is still (mostly) gone though.

* ''TheGodfather'' game counts an enemy Family as wiped out once you bomb and take over their Compound, but any {{Legitimate Businessmens Social Club}}s that you have yet to take over still shows as under their control, plus in certain spots even in Corleone turf you may still find pockets of enemy mobsters.

-->'''Tycho''': "Wait, slow down. A week ago, Wedge vaporized the Emperor and half the Imperial High Command—I know that Imperials tried to stab us in the back after the truce at Bakura, but isn't the war basically over? Why won't the Imperials just surrender?"

** He doesn't really know about [[spoiler: the Anti-spirals though. What he's doing is fighting so that the people who want to stay underground can, at least in this particular instance. Lordgenome wanted them underground, they want to be underground, and Viral is pretty much all that's left to fight for that. It's hard to not feel bad for Viral finally getting arrested because Enkidu has seen SO MANY HOPELESS BATTLES that it finally just breaks down. Viral even apologizes to it.]]

* Used as the punchline for the version of DouglasAdams 'Kamikaze' sketch that was broadcast on BBC comedy show ''The Burkiss Way'' in 1977:

* Current-day {{Pakistan}} has been this since 1971, when its Eastern half seceded and became Bangladesh. Alot of pro-Pakistani groups in Bangladesh are still waiting to be tried for genocide and other crimes against humanity.

** Platinum also has Team Galactic turn into this after their leader Cyrus is beaten. Ironically, the remnants of Team Galactic (a terrorist cult that was on the verge of destroying the universe) were much less threatening then the remnants of Team Rocket (Pokemon gangsters).

** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroo_Onoda Onoda Hiroo]] would not believe the news until his now-retired former commanding officer was flown in to personally order him to stand down. When he surrendered, he still had his army sword and original issue rifle in full-working order.
