unallied
Standing completely alone
Unallied means not joined with others in alliance or association.
A nation that remains unallied stays independent of military pacts or political blocs: Switzerland has remained unallied throughout modern European conflicts.
The word can describe anything standing apart from formal connection: unallied interests, unallied factions.
