Creta

Creta is a nation that borders Amestris to the west. Along with Aerugo, Creta continually engages Amestris in border disputes and a great deal of blood has been shed by both sides in their long history as military enemies. At present, the Amestrian city of Pendleton is the center of the latest border war, in which military negligence has caused massive casualties. It is thought to be an ally of Aerugo due to them both being at war with Amestris. At the end of the manga and 2009 anime, Edward Elric ventures to Creta and the nations to the west in order to learn and exchange information about alchemy.
