A few for those who play as Japan, even if they aren’t card carrying JFBs:

RGC = Reorganised Government of China. Swap the s for a z if you must!
NCPC = North China Political Council
These were both collaborator / puppet governments setup in occupied China with troops that are barely trained and lightly equipped, but very good for meeting garrison requirements.

INA = Indian National Army, collaborated with the Japanese in Malaya/Burma

CMK = China Manchukuo Korea, often referred to when discussing every JFBs favourite topic of logistics; as the roads and rail allow land movement of stuff throughout CMK so it operates as one big “economic region”.

True, but the attitude goes to FUBAR or to DILLIGAF.
