A mainland nation at war with Paradis Island.
The provided source text identifies Marley as a nation on the mainland that declared war on Paradis Island. It serves as the primary adversary to the island's last territory of Eldia.

- Status
- A nation on the mainland which declared war on Paradis
Lore & Background
The world beyond the Walls contains several nations, but the source specifically names Marley as a nation on the mainland which declared war on Paradis. This conflict arises after it is revealed that the area where the three Walls are located is an island called Paradis and that it holds the last territory of Eldia. The story expands from the internal struggle against Titans to this international conflict, positioning Marley as the external aggressor targeting the isolated Eldians.
In Their Own Story
The narrative shifts when characters investigate Marley's volunteer soldiers with the Survey Corps. During these investigations, Eren lies to Mikasa about hating her bloodline before joining an alliance to stop a planned genocide on the world by Eren. The source mentions a battle of Heaven and Earth where the Survey Corps and Marleyan Warriors unite to stop Eren after he unleashes millions of Colossal Titans against the rest of the world. This unification occurs because Eren's actions threaten all life outside Paradis, forcing former enemies to collaborate.
