It's talked about in Final Coil from what it looks like (though I could have sworn it got mentioned in the Syrcus Tower quests, if briefly since I haven't been through Final Coil yet.) Meracydia was home to dragons, the Allagans went crazy trying to conquest, and fought with the dragons (the original Dragonsong war! Only they didn't eat the dragons, they used 'em for batteries to power the Coil areas!) enslaved them, and then trapped Bahamut in the big solar powered battery we know as Dalamud.
The Allagans were kind of jerks.
Yeah. Meracycdia is the only other nation I know of that opposed Allag. And the only thing that I know is that they had dragons. They label it as a nation but I don't even know if it was really a nation or not because they have only spoken of its dragons. Miqo'te hail from there as well. I'd like to know whether or not Meracycdia was actually a country. With a government. Because they speak of it like it is but what info we have about Meracydia is extremely vague except for the dragons there and that it was ravaged by the Endless Frost.
But then you hear of Phelegeon (I probably butchered that word. The boss of the Labrynth of the Ancients) who was kind of like a Spartacus if Allag were the Romans. Then you have people like Urth and Odin. Apparently Odin was from the North. These were classified as enemies of Allag.
My headcanon thinks that anything or anyone that could oppose Allag must have possessed great power to be able to stand up to them. Something that would be able to match them or at least be able to weather their opposition.
